Rockabilly purists the Roy Kay Trio forgo the use of drums on their debut album, Wanderin' Mind -- and boy, you won't miss 'em.

Rockabilly purists the Roy Kay Trio forgo the use of drums on their debut album, Wanderin' Mind -- and boy, you won't miss 'em. Relying on the rhythmic interplay between bassist Robin Cady and rhythm guitarist/lead singer Roy "Kay" Konitzer to get your foot tappin', the result is a low-key and hummable collection of tunes that sound like classics of the genre. Revealing a knack for keeping melodies memorable and swinging, the Kay Trio recorded the album live on vintage equipment at Kearney Barton's studio under the '50s-centric production guidance of roots music luminary Deke Dickerson. Besides covering the Eddie Bond nugget "Boppin' Bonnie," all the songs on Wanderin' Mind are originals, such as "Confused," a terrific mid-tempo number reminiscent of early Johnny Cash, while the up-tempo and melodic "High and Low" hearkens back to the best of Buddy Holly. Konitzer himself has a warm, congenial, Ricky Nelson-meets-Eddie Cochran voice and when backed with vocal harmony by lead guitarist Mike Geglia, may remind some of a more honky tonk Everly Brothers. Fans of the real stuff will appreciate Wanderin' Mind for what it is -- darn good rockabilly. ~ Matt Collar, Rovi
