Rich Copley and the boys in the Carpetbaggers served up a little known classic with this cd. I first heard the Carpetbaggers on an imported compilation cd in the mid 90's,and was hooked on thier single track on that disc. Living in Cornwall back then there was no chance of following up on thier music,hence my recent purchase of Sin Now. The 'Baggers manage to sound retro without being kitch. They sound not unlike the early Sun Studio recording artists such as Presley and Cash,due to the fact that they only have two guitars,acoustic and electric, and a stand up slap bass. Again like thier musical ancestors, they manage to combine songs that are sometimes country,sometimes hillbilly, and othertimes rockabilly in nature. The songs deal with the usual country topic such as debautchery,drink and dying relationships..but for all of that the muscians sound as if they are having a ball playing the tunes and that infectious feeling passes on to the listener. For me the standout tracks are the tile track,Jeanie In A Bottle and Estranged Bedfellows. all in all if you are like your country unpolished and primative,and with a raw rockabilly heart,then this is an ideal cd to collect!Read full review
