The first song was like: *yeah.. ok.. not bad*

The second song was like: *hmm.. ok, something is there...*

The third song was like: *hell - these guys are good!*

This album will grow on you after a while. Initially it's a bit different. A bit too close to other cover-versions (oh, didn't I mention that this album is full over cover-versions?) of some famous songs. But after a while you recognize that this is different. You get the idea of what you can actually achieve after a almost 60 year band-history.

*The Rolling Stones*? Pah! (1962).

*Pink Floyd*? Humbug!! (1965)

Only *Chuck Berry* comes close enough. `The Jolly Boys <http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Jolly_Boys>`__ are on stage since 1955, play constantly and are currently the house band of the hotel *GeeJam* in `Port Antonio <http://www.openstreetmap.org/?lat=19.7&lon;=-75.9&zoom;=5&layers;=M>`__.

House Band.. how cool is that?

Here you go with the first song:
