5 out of 5 stars This is NOT retro country, it's has NOTHING to do w/ country.......2004-08-28

This cd is as far removed from country as the Athiest is from the Bible! This music is a mixture of jumping jazz, rockabilly(I mean the bill Haley & The Comets kind), and western swing(Bob Wills style, NOT country!!!). So pelase ignore reviews tha tcall thsi retro country. This music has a lot of swingign improvisation, which givesit that jazz feeling, and the cd really swings hard, as much as it rocks. It isn't really rockabilyl, unless you consider Bill Haley's early 50's stuff as rockabilly, but their is stand up slap bass, a horn, and Condo's very Hoagy Carmichael sounding vocals(he even looks a little like Hoagy!). A great cd if you like jazz and wetsern swing. Great for jitterbug dancing too!!

Ever heard of Ray Condo? Probably not, I was in the same boat till I ended up at their show here at the Tractor - I liked the other two bands on the bill, thats how I ended up there. Ray and the boys came on pretty late into the evening, with a couple of drinks in hand they started their set...and oh what a set it was. They were just phenomenal to watch, each of them a fantastic musical and stage presence. They outright blew the two other bands out of the water.
Rock on guys, I loved your show and can't wait to see you again...

I started out with BR5-49. Ray Condo goes a step beyond. You can't help but tap your feet to his music. I got Door to Door Maniac two months ago, and haven't gotten tired of it yet! I'll more than likely end up buying all of his CDs

This was my first Ray Condo CD, but it won't be my last. Condo and his band blend country, rockabilly, and swing to make some really enjoyable music. If you don't dance this one will make you want to start.

    Nearly three years after their last album, 1997's Door to Door Maniac, Condo and company's flair for blending and adapting vintage material to their zesty retro amalgam remains unimpaired. Their frenetic, turbo-charged approach to the Crystal Springs Ramblers' "Fort Worth Stomp" transforms it from Western-swing dance ditty to bold anthem, just as a relaxed, swinging arrangement reinvents R&B bandleader Buddy Johnson's "Be Careful (If You Can't Be Good)" as hip jazz. And consider Red Allen's 1936 "Whatcha Gonna Do When There Ain't No Swing?" Originally a glib novelty, in Condo's hands it metamorphoses into a searing, passionate, desperate plea. Not that he takes himself too seriously, given the demented Maurice Chevalier-style monologue slipped into the freewheeling vocal-instrumental jam "What Is This Thing Called Love" and unexpected swamp-rock spin on Mose Allison's "Parchman Farm." Amid such excellence, it's puzzling how the mediocre stab at Gene Vincent's rocker "I Flipped" ever passed muster, given an uneven Condo vocal that floats between perfection and near-inaudibility. Faults aside, this album--a mono mix--is their strongest since their 1996 debut, Swing Brother Swing! --Rich Kienzle

    Ray Condo & His Richochets are a Vancouver based five-piece combining elements of rockabilly, western swing, honky-tonk, cabaret-style jazz and blues to create the most exciting musical hybrid I've ever had the good fortune to witness. They've put in some long hours on the road the last few years, and I have got to tell you, don't pass on a chance to see them live! Ray's manic energy and eclectic vocal, sax, and rhythm guitar stylings are a joy to behold. Backed by one helluva' rhythm section, Jimmie Roy (steel, 2nd lead) and Steve Nikleva ("take-off" guitar), fly one moment and compliment Ray's vocal delivery the next. Steve N., especially, has a style all his own that is indicative of his background in the jazz genre. How does all of this transfer to disc? Better than I ever would have believed had I not heard it on "High and Wild," Ray's third for the Joaquin label. Each release has been a steady ascent toward greatness, I'm pleased to report. On this outing, songs like "I Flipped," "Fort Worth Stomp," and "Parchment Farm," left me amazed that they were able to top their excellent 1997 release, "Door To Door Maniac." When Ray "channels" Maurie Chevalier (you think I'm kiddin' don't you?) on "What is This Thing Called Love?," I was sold on the fact that Ray rules! Don't miss this one, folks- this music is far and away Canada's greatest single export!

    Roger is right, this chick is great. Everytime I hear her on TwangCity I check the laptop to see who it is. Finally, I've got the message: Buy the album! Wow, what a great voice; what great lyrics. If you like alt. country, et al, you'll be blown away.

    5 out of 5 stars What a cool discovery.......2005-04-09

    Great production, torchy voice, strong country songs. This Austin based gal may not get a lot of attention from mainstrean "country" radio, but it's one of the best new CDs I've heard this year.
