For those of you who know who Jerry Lee Lewis is then make sure you get a copy of his new album "Mean Old Man". That's right, the Killer has released a brand new album and the title track is enough to get your feet a tappin'.
Check out some of his songs along with several well known artists in collaboration at his MySpace site HERE.

LIKE A KID IN A CANDY STORE

Gone are the days where you can't find good rockabilly music. With every Mystery Train Gambler's show we meet more and more people getting into this great style of music and the lifestyle that goes with it.
If you are stuck in South Africa and such 3rd world countries then do not fret. There are two great online stores that sell almost every rockabilly album, 7", book and DVD.

It's like being a kid in a candy store when you visit these two websites and trust me, it's way too easy to get your credit card out and start ordering loads of music. But do yourself a favor and pay a visit to the two following stores and make sure you tell them that Reverend Wright And The Mystery Train Gamblers sent ya!

ROCKABILLY ROUNDUP

Because Reverend Wright And The Mystery Train Gamblers are playing this Thursday night the 9th at Tings 'n Times we're going to throw some rockabilly videos your way to get you in the mood...cause nothing gets a weekend started like some good 'ol rockabilly, that's for sure!

We're going to mix it up with some classic rockabilly from Scotty Moore (Elvis' original guitarist back in the day) and Eric Clapton doing "That's All Right Mama" and a bit more of a rocker from the good old Reverend Horton Heat with "Rocket Of Love".
Enjoy and we hope to see you all at Tings 'n Times this Thursday night!

THE DEVIL AT YOUR FEET

If you're a hot rod fan then you should know about The Alter Boys and The Burbank Choppers car clubs. Two clubs with some of the best rides and owners in the world.
Although it has been out for quite some time, Atomic Hot Rods have released an awesome documentary on the two clubs called "The Devil At Your Feet". You can purchase this DVD online and we strongly recommend you do so. Check out the trailer below.
