‘The Dead Bone Ramblers’ are a rockabilly/country bop
band formed in February 2012 by ex-‘Cordwood Draggers’ frontman Honest Hal
(Mick Cocksedge) and ‘Slick 49’s’ double bass player Steve Whitworth. They have
had various guitar pickers prior to Gordon Doel (from the Doel Brothers) taking
up the reins in early 2013.
Their live set
consists of mainly original material and some well chosen (and well played)
covers. Hal's vocal delivery puts me in mind of how ’Sid King and The Five
Strings’ sounded in their heyday in the mid-fifties. He isn’t a growler vocally, when he delivers
these songs, he sings them - not only very well, but most importantly with
feeling, so you can believe what he is telling you in the lyrics.
You can be the best
singer in the business, but if you don't have the band to back you up then you
may as well hang up your blue suedes and go back to driving a truck!
Gordon does an
excellent job on lead guitar, his pickin’ is top of the class stuff, but not so
over-the-top that it takes over and kills the overall sound of the band. Add to that Steve’s rhythmic slappin’ bass and
you have is the ‘Dead Bone Ramblers’; three musicians playing their music the
way they want to...with a 1950's kick.
