Benny and The Fly By Niters - Be Good or Be Gone

Served up here, is 1950s style R&B and southern blues, recorded at Austin's Fort Horton studios. Nick Curran opened the doors, and combos like this one led by guitarist/vocalist Ben Peters are sailing through. Re-makes of mostly obscure stuff by Ray Agee, Pee Wee Crayton, Jimmy Liggins, Clarence Garlow or King Karl. This record comes with super musicianship and great, authentic sound. Picture Benny Peters in his perfectly coiffed hair and Ray-Bans, hoisting his denim shoulder off the wall of the San Diego bus depot to board the midnight special to New Mexico. For a young man obsessed with the blues, a more romantic image is hard to imagine.
