Rating: Tonight I want to indulge in a whimsical and light review... Like a coke that's good for you and makes you feel dizzy... with all those bubbles!!!
Go, virtual friends, to the newsstand - because it's sold only there - and ask for "Noi duri" by Dennis & the Jets, Corrado Tedeschi publisher... 9 euros... and off you go!!!! At home, listen to it!!! You will enter the dizzying and exciting world of these seasoned rockabillies who are always valid... There are poets who live like poets and musicians like musicians... and they are the best!!!!... So many bluffs around!!!! For God's sake!!!
The Dennises have traveled miles to bring their musical creed to the faithful: the 50s American rock, with extreme coherence and faith!!! In Tuscan basements and in remote musical "banlieue" venues, barely and arduously located... with their greased hair... and the usual "Chiodo" jacket.... real "Fonzie" through and through.... Discovered by the general public by Renzo Arbore - in "Quelli della notte" an unforgettable cult show - and then by Ernesto de Pascale who produced them in a couple of not bad records - does anyone remember "In Rock Signo Vinces"? - here they are, DENNIS & JETS, true "Blues Brothers" by birth... three out of five are brothers; the Ponticiello as Flagiello...
Traveling the dusty, kerosene and rugged roads of rock 'n' roll... from rundown places like "Mario Cioni" type "BERLINGUER TI VOGLIO BENE" by Benigni and Bertolucci, they deservedly landed at Arezzo Wave, at "Porretta Soul" and at "Pistoia blues" in a memorable "live" that saw me present along with 10,000 others... The "The Blues Brothers Band" of Blue Marini, Tom Malone, and Alan Rubin - the real band from the John Belushi and Dan Aykroyd film, to be clear - merged with these crazy Tuscans in a memorable set.. that remains in my memory.... and in that of a thousand others!!!! This is a group that gives adrenaline shocks to those who listen... Legendary is the story of their concert in a small Sienese town named S.ROCCO A PILLI.. After their stratospheric and engaging performance.... someone, at night, on the Siena-Grosseto highway (where this village is located) tampered with the road sign correcting it from S. ROCCO A PILLI to: "S. ROCKABILLY"... What a show guys!!! This is high-level irony!!!! That only music played with all the trimmings can give!!! And what to say when Jerry Flagello the guitarist-singer was chosen by FEDERICO FELLINI to play a part in "LA VOCE DELLA LUNA"?...
Someone reviewed this movie days ago.... Well, the priest, in the film with Villaggio and Benigni, was indeed one of these wild rockabillies: Jerry Flagello, now for everyone known as the "REVEREND"... Jerry lives in my area... And it's a blast to see this over-fifty with the pompadour wandering around.....and the people, who, not knowing who he is, can't stop laughing behind his back... in light of his funny and anachronistic mane... What a joy these musicians who never take off their work clothes and wear its stigmata! Tomorrow, in addition to the newspaper, treat yourself to this "NOI DURI".... Among "BE BOP A LULA".... "LUCILLE".... "NIGHT TRAIN" and other classics... you will be moved by the rhythm like palm trees shaken by the wind.... And if you can't dance, your neighbors will take advantage, for once... because this is a record that must be played loud!!! and if not.... it doesn't work!!!!
HAPPY ROCKABILLY EASTER.... HAPPY EASTER TO ALL!!! Bye! Smiles from unknown distances!!! Yours, Rainer!!!
