Workingman's Bellfuries

I've only listened to this once but that's all anyone will need to know the Bellfuries have crafted an absolute gem this time. This record achieves the perfect balance between the neo-traditionalism they mastered on their first album and the various early 60's influences they have been incorporating into their music ever since. The end results sounds like the Everly Brothers, backed by a rockabilly trio, jamming on early Brit Invasion tunes. Strange as that may sound, these tunes are very hard not to like and their appeal should not limited to the retro crowd (although the retro crowd WILL LOVE THIS). In fact, this would be the perfect summer sound track for almost any occasion/location...too bad they didn't release it a few months earlier! Regardless, it's never a bad time to inject some pure fun into your life and this music will do just that...I personally think this is their best album by a mile...it's great to have the Bellfuries back.

This album is a grand slam. Superb catchy songs. Great production. Absolutely love this album. I would give it 10 stars if I could. Support The Bellfuries and buy this album.

Absolutely adore this record! Great production with clear vocals from a dude that can really sing, good jangly guitar, lovely thumpy bass (but not generic rockabilly thumpy), nice drum sound too. Bellfuries also write great lyrics. Not your standard girl & car crap. I have listened to this 100 times already. Also a great representation of how they sound live. I have been lucky enough to see this band several times and they never disappoint.

This is a great record! Great songs and superb songwriting. In my opinion these guys are the cream of the crop in the rockabilly genre when it comes to lyrics and songwriting. Also a great record for purchasing on vinyl because all the songs are good. No filler which makes it a great record to put on and listen to the whole thing.

If you mixed the sound of Train, Chris Isaac, The Nitty Gritty Dirt Band and Gene Vincent, this is what you'd hear. If you're old, it'll take you back. If you're young, you'll get hooked on the rockabilly sound and get some of the Eddie Cochran and Buddy Holly sounds from long ago. This album makes you feel good!!!

Great album by a modern rockabilly and whatever else you want to call the music.Everything I've heard by the Bellfuries is Good! Recommended.

Brilliant songwriting and performances.This is one of those cds that you just can't stop playing, because when another cd gets popped in after it, you are still humming the Belfurie's tunes.Excellent job all around, guys.

tried this album out because they are coming to Denver with tiger army,a solid rock album, really like they're style, not something your likely to hear on the radio

Absolutely fantastic - had this on for 4 hours when I got it! Great songs, mostly written by Joey Simeone, produced by Jimmy Sutton. Definitely addicted to this band at the moment. Beaumont Blues is my favourite track.If you like JD McPherson, you'll like these.

The Bellfuriers have again worked hard and produced a fantastic album, it’s a slightly more ‘poppier’ attempt which sways towards general rock and roll but that’s by no way a bad thing. It produces some great numbers such as ‘Beaumont Blues’ and the catchy ‘Bad Seed Sown’. 4 star down to personal taste but even that’s being very critical.

Great band. Toned down on the rockin stuff but good easy listening. I describe this as California type upbeat country. Very good musicians

I am completely in love with this Album. The Bellfuries soothe my soul. Having seen them live twice this year, I can say that they sound exactly the same as the album. Awesome bunch of guys.

Absolutely brilliant album, hadn't heard much of them before but brought it on a whim as it was recommended. So glad I did, couldn't be happier with it.
