The Pistoleers - 'Bank Robber'.
I heard this track on Radio 6 a few weeks ago when Andrew Weatherall (remember when he was Andy Weatherall) did the Queens Of Noize show. He played some great rockabilly and more 'modern' stuff.
'Bank Robber' by the Pistoleers is from an album of called 'This Is Rockabilly Clash'. A compilation of Clash covers by rockabilly bands. It's a great record. Some tracks are better than others but the whole concept works really well. It also highlights what great songwriters the Clash were (but what a dismal lyricist Joe Strummer occasionally was).
This is my favorite from the album. Listening to rockabilly nowadays seems one of the most 'alternative' music choices you can make. However, it kind of sounds somehow perfectly modern. I've been predicting a rockabilly revival for years now. Not that anyone is listening.
