Having a party? The folks at C&D Records know what you need, it's Black & White with their latest release Hepcat. Slap this disc on and watch the party Rip, Roar, Rock & Wail. This Rhythm and Blues Rock 'N' Roll trio kick it open with the Rockabilly slide guitar styling of the title track, then keep it churning with the up-tempo pickin' of "Alimony Blues", continuing with a Surf-Rock classic (in it's own right) "The Wave" that would be right at home along side any PulpBeachFictonBlanket Dick Dale tune. They then take it down a notch with the gut wrenching music and vocals of "Latest In The Evening" before swinging & swaying you through the final four tracks.

When it's over, do it again and marvel at the power put out by this trio of Mark Wagner (Vocals, Guitars), Don DiMuccio (Drums), and Kevin Martin (Fender Bass); with Special guests: Trombonist Porky Cohen (Tommy Dorsey, Artie Shaw), and Baritone Sax man Doug James (Roomful of Blues).
