Editorial Review:
You might think the last thing the world needs is yet another rockabilly revival band, but California's Big Sandy and his FlyRite Boys prove a welcome addition to the field with their first nationally distributed album, Jumpin from 6 to 6. For one thing, the Fly-Rite Boys construct their rockabilly not merely from the expected sources, honky tonk and jump-blues, but also from an often overlooked source, Western swing. When steel guitarist Lee Jeffriess and guest fiddler Brantley Kearns hook up on tunes like "Someone Like You" and "Honky Tonk Queen," the Fly-Rite Boys swing like few other rockabilly bands. --Geoffrey Himes
Customer Reviews
Average Rating: 
Rating: - This is perhaphs teh finest classic Sandy
Of his early years(not that he's old), this is his best. the classic title track swings like mad, and the whole cd is full of energy Sandy's vocals sound right out of 1949! Lee Jeffries steel guitar playing add the perfect amount of western swing/hillbilyl boogie to the rockabilly mix. Austentic sounding stuff taht sounds late 1940's early 50's. Get this and Sandy's latest cd "It's Time" for starters.
Rating: - It swings high and low!
Great Western, rockabilly swing. Lots of witty songs of longing brought to life by bonafide musicians. You'll play this one a lot!
Rating: - Jumping for Joy!!!
By far a must have of anyone who enjoys rockabilly. I have listened to this album 100's of times and it just gets better. It is good quality music that makes you want to get up and dance. You will not be disappointed in this CD.
Rating:  - Big Sandy at his best
Robert William, AKA Big Sandy, approaches this album with an enthusiasm and gusto that is largely missing on later releases. Check out the vocals-on-the-edge-of-control on stand out tracks Jumpin from 6 to 6, Different Girl and the raucous Juiced.
A must have for rockabilly and country swing fans.
