You ain't the only one.  There's a coupla strong rockabilly kickers, and a
whole bunch of mediocre songs.

I don't know about the Derailers' new one, but unfortunately I didn't find
Kirchen's new one to be much better than Rosie's.  A coupla decent songs,
and that's about it.  I think he's a guy who does best when he doesn't
rely so much on his own material.--don
