The album of the week is the 2000 release, Rock And Roll Forever, by Lemmy, Slim Jim & Danny B. A similar version of this album (with 3 tracks omitted) was released 6 years later under the band name The Head Cat.
This is a covers album by the supergroup of Lemmy Kilmister (Motörhead), Slim Jim Phantom (The Stray Cats) and Danny B. Harvey (Lonesome Spurs & Rockcats), which formed after the individual members had contributed to an Elvis Presley tribute album back in 1999. As the story goes, Lemmy picked up an acoustic guitar and started playing some of his favorite songs from the '50s, and as the other two knew them well, joined in.
There's nothing groundbreaking on this album... just three guys paying homage to the music they obviously love. If you're a fan of early rock and roll, be sure to give this one a listen.
Enjoy!
