Rockabilly - Sallie Ford and The Sound Outside

Retro is back... Its everywhere, screen, shops and even on the high street. Were in Paris so that must mean something.

So here at D&d we are embracing Rockabilly with a Love that will be eternal.
So as its getting quite nippy out there Im happy to announce a real winter warmer on the platine.
Id like to introduce you to...... (drum roll on a old tin pleaseeeee...)
Sallie Ford and The Sound Outside all the way from Portland, Oregon playing since 2007. This four piece have their debut album on a major label Dirty Radio.


Generally classed as a rockabilly ensemble, although Sallie Ford describes it as "Rock n Roll" and that people find it "more rockin’ than they expected." However theres a bit of jazz, blues and punk thrown in for good measure.
Lead by the voice of Sallie Ford  ( that is like a time warp )and backed by the deep sound of a stand-up bass from Tyler Tornfelt, together with Jeffery Munger (guitar) and Ford Tennis (drums), collectively they bring rockabilly into the 21st century with a modern twist. 


According to singer Seth Avett of The Avett Brothers, Ford's songs have that "rare quality of somehow combining fun with emotional and artistic integrity" and she "fills the room with it" and reminds him of the "energy of early rock 'n' roll." The group opened forThe Avett Brothers and recorded a five-song EP entitled Not an Animal. Ford's voice has been compared to Ella Fitzgerald, Tom Waits, Billie Holiday, with possible influences from Bessie Smith and used the words "two-step big beat gospel" to describe the effect.


The best thing is that we can all see them live soon
