Roy Loney & The Phantom Movers : R. Loney : lead vocals, rhythm guitar/ L. Lea : lead & rhythm guitar, backing vocals / D. Mihm : drums & percussion / P. "Buzz" Miller : bass, lead guitar / B. Berman : piano + C. Jordan : backing vocals on 3,11,12 / J. Ferrell : slide guitar on 1,4 / M. Wilhelm : lead guitar on 5,6 / R. Estrin : harmonica on 1,5 / S. Blank : piano on 2,11,12.
Interestingly, this record was released in Australia a few months before it was released in America, which gives you an indication of the peculiarities surrounding Loney's career. Nevertheless, this is a fine and funky record, drenched in echo and with a crude, instantly likable rockabilly feel that puts the pedal to the metal and doesn't back down. After all these years, Loney can still crank it out and kick up a fuss. Just listen to "Bip Bop Boom" and "Boy, Man!" and you'll see what I mean. Allmusic
