Product Description
CD Description
A 2 cd set with two original albums BOZ BOORER has been MORRISEYS guitarist and musical director, co songwriter for about twenty years now. He runs a parallel career as an accomplished Rockabilly musician, and was also a founder of THE POLECATS in the late 70 s. MY WILD LIFE was originally released in 1996 and MISS PEARL had a short shelf life on the now defunct vibrant label. MISS PEARL has a rare guest appearance by ADAM ANT on the track JUNGLE ROCK. Every single track on this set sounds like very authentic 50 s rockabilly, completely spot on ,and features many covers of classic songs with a few originals thrown in for good measure.

Boz Boorer has been Morrissey's guitarist and musical director / co-songwriter for donkey's years. However, when he turns out a solo album, he most definitely wears retro duds, being simply one of the most accomplished Rockabilly musicians and songwriters the UK has ever produced. 'Miss Pearl' is a solid delight from start to finish, and don't let the rockabilly tag put you off - it's actually a celebration of primal rock and roll, with bluesy, jazzy and country overtones that reminds you what you liked about it in the first place. Highly original it's not, but if it's a joyous celebration of old school rock values you want, it contains more than enough thrills to keep you going long after the recession bottoms out!

Miss Pearl - by Boz Boorer (release date: 23rd September, Vibrant Records)
Having not released any of his own work since 1996's darn spiffy "My Wild Life", Boz - who never misses the opportunity to record with his many musical pals - had a treasure trove to dig through to spoil us with on "Miss Pearl".
One of those pals happens to be Adam Ant, who appears on "Jungle Rock". If you can find their rendition of "Save The Gorilla" (a simian take on Adam's highwayman theme tune), you'll be pleased to know that "Jungle Rock" is far more together, but no less ridiculously joyous.
There follows a veritable Celebrations box of rockabilly folk, playing on tracks like "Crash The Party" and "Rock'n'Roll Ruby". "Jitterbop Baby" is from a Rockats/Polecats/Blonde Bombers all night session - and Boz can't remember who else was on electric guitar with him. Apparently, "it was that kind of night!" More Polecattiness appears on "Rockaway Beach", the most recent of the tracks, featuring Tim Polecat as well as Dean Micetich (Kid Rocker / The Kaisers) and Big Sandy. Long-time Boz collaborator Steve Hooker turns up on two tracks, in an alternate take of "In the Witchin' Hour" from Steve's "Boptown" album, and "Dollar Short". Says Boz of playing on Steve's albums; "always a pleasure, never a chore."
A fab 16 track album featuring tracks that have only ever appeared on obscure EPs or which have lingered unheard for some years - great for completists and bounty hunters alike.

As soon as Boz Boorer lets out an energetic cry of "Miss Pearl!" in the opening track of this album, you know that you're in for a treat. Every single song on this disc sounds like authentic undiluted 1950s rock 'n' roll goodness. You would be forgiven for assuming that this is a remastered disc of an actual 1950s rockabilly recording. Everything about it is completely spot-on, and Boz Boorer takes the listener through one hell of a ride throughout.
A former member of The Polecats, a rockabilly revival group from the '70s and '80s, Boz Boorer is an incredibly talented and passionate old-school rocker from Middlesex. He is, however, most well-known for being the Johnny Marr of much of Morrissey's solo career since 1991. For the well-received '91 single, 'Pregnant for the Last Time', Boorer joined Morrissey's band during a somewhat troubling time during the singer's career. His authentic rockabilly sound is credited for helping to rejuvenate the career of the controversial music icon, and has since gone on to become a driving force in some of Morrissey's best albums.
Boorer has now taken some time out of his day job with Morrissey to create this fine album, which sounds like he loved every minute of making. With sixteen tracks, and just over forty minutes of running time, each of the songs flow very well and create a good feel of that rush and excitement that good 1950s rock 'n' roll albums usually always have. The album contains many covers of classic songs, as well as original recordings, and collaborations from the likes of Adam Ant and Steve Hooker, and it all goes together to make for a very enjoyable listening experience.
