From Romesville to Manhattan

Cherry Red has a promising two-for-one release coming up in January 2010. Two classic, much sought after and wholesomely groovy beatnik albums together in one offbeat culture-shaking package.

Exploitative travelogue grooves from the bongowielding keyboard player Googie Rene (best know for some groovy jazz instrumentals) on the beret-adorned Romesville.

Street smart jive from Charlie Parker-approved hustler and expert storyteller Babs Gonzalez on Tales From Manhattan, a sleazy slice of organ-powered soul.

Googie Rene: Romesville
Romesville / Cool It At The Coliseum /. Serenade In The Night / Flippin' The Pizza / Come Back To Sorrento / Caesar's Pad / Cafe Roman Candle / Rebecca / Cherry Ferrari / Farewell To Rome

Babs Gonzales: Tales Of Manhattan
The Hat Box Chicks / Broadway - 4am / You Need Connections / 'Dem Resolution Liars / Manhattan Fable / Dem Jive New Yorkers / The Squares / A Dollar Is Your Only Friend / The Cool Cat's Philosophy / Ole Braggin's Freddie
