They Live By Night.
The Hamsters.

Hamster CD 20.
Over 70 minutes of robust rock recorded live over a series of gigs last summer. Slim and company can always be relied upon to do the business, whether interpreting the work of other artists or performing their own stuff. Fifteen tracks on this excellent and atmospheric CD combine both elements.
Opening with the rocker "Show Me", the CD gets decidedly bluesier with “Lonesome Blues”, "Crossroads" and "Blues For The Blues" with Slim’s guitar work and rasping voice backed up well by Zsa Zsa and Otis.
Other delights include "Rocket In My Pocket", "Boogie Man", and the final track, "The Walk", a swinging version of the old dance track.
Humorously presented in a garish 50s B-movie Hollywood style "They Live By Night" is available from music shops or via www.thehamsters.co.uk
