Love Me Like Crazy [CD]

Cave Catt Sammy kicks off Love Me Like Crazy with "Gonna Rock and Roll," a blast of backwards-glancing rockabilly that could have been written by†Bill†Haley.†String bassist and vocalist Beau Sample knows how to put together great oldies. There's not much contemporary here --†Carl Perkins†grooves ("Sticky†Fingers"),†Memphis shuffles ("She Loves Her Man"), and†Jerry Lee Lewis-style barnburners (the†Crawford-penned "Love Me Like Crazy" that the album is named for)†predominate -- but you can't fault a band who is so energetic, inspired, and genuine. Plus, "Raining Honey" makes for a great country & western tune. There is†nothing startlingly new here, but Cave Catt Sammy proves that there doesn't always have to be.
