Royal Crown Revue's new EP, entitled El Toro, is being released to coincide with the bands 2007 European Tour, which will last six weeks (April 11 May 19, 2007) and cover 12 countries. It s RCR's first release since 2004's Greetings From Hollywood. The disc includes two brand new RCR originals (El Toro and Won't You Ride With Me), plus a slamming cover of Neil Diamond's 1966 classic Solitary Man. Like RCR's previous albums, El Toro runs the gamut stylistically.
The explosive title track - which looks at a bullfight through the frightened eyes of a creature about to meet its maker - combines elements of punk, surf, jazz and mariachi. Rockville is a rough and tumble instrumental in the tradition of Hammond B3 pioneer Wild Bill Davis. It s A Good Day shows off the band s stellar jazz chops, while Brazil is a prime example of the Louis Prima inflected swing that has become RCR s signature. Won't You Ride With Me closes out the disc, sliding over the listener like a late night cruise up the coastline. /Amazon
