Lovely review of a lovely pair (don't!) of crunchy JC&TODS singles recorded here at Crunch HQ by moi. 😊

It’s ‘Blues, Skiffle, Calypso and Rockabilly with a creepy vaudeville twist’…Jo Carley and the Old Dry Skulls bring the voodoo to 2026!

Me (Grandbaby) and Jack (MAMA OH NO) are Baby Mama. Here's our new single. You might like it. The drums, Hammond organ (incl bass pedals) and upright piano were recorded on my old Iphone X. Then we added a load of other stuff. Wooh!
