The Wise Guys

And now: some Rockabilly! The Wise Guys (from the Kingston-Toronto area) went down to Nashville to record this 2-song single so right off you can safely assume the production quality is top notch. Side A has "She's a Dish", a pretty laid-back ditty with interesting guitar work but side B features "Because of You", a more up-tempo song with catchier beat. They're both poppy, danceable songs but I have to admit I prefer them live where they have more drive and enthusiasm. (They have an amazing live show.) Maybe if I crank the volume...
