Carlos & The Bandidos
The Good, The Bad And The Bandidos
One of the UK's premier Rockabilly Bands. Well, Rock-A-Billy with a Mexican / Western slant. The band comprise of front
man Carlos Mejuto on vocals, Malcolm Chapman on lead guitar (he's also played guitar in Paul Ansell's Number Nine), Neil
Scott on double bass, Paul Maitland on rhythm guitar & backing vocals and Roger Van Niekirk on drums. The band have
toured all over the UK, Europe and the western half of the US to critical acclaim. The CD contains the usual eclectic
bundle of self penned songs and unusual cover version of songs that has been a mainstay of their repetoire for the last
14 years. They include a vocal version of Misirlou - influenced more by the Cardinals than by Dick Dale; A thumping
strolling version of "I'm Shakin'" by Little Willie John, a plaintive reading of "My Poor Old Heart" - a song by Alison
Krauss and others by artists as diverse as Feliciano, Asleep At The Wheel and the Deep River Boys (their haunting
version of "I Wish I Had Died In My Cradle"). It's taken almost 5 years of pestering to get the band back into the
recording studio and it's well worth the wait.
