• Lyhyt kuvaus # rockabilly made in Germany # powerful lady in a man's world # debut CD, recorded with German musicians # classics re-recorded, and new original songs No piano melancholy, no folksongs backed by strumming guitars, no chirpy pop music: Peggy Sugarhill has got the courage. She's different. She's a woman playing rockabilly in a world dominated by men. 100 per cent rockabilly! Peggy who?! The female vocalist, daughter of Czech/Lithuanian parents, grew up in Cologne. For the sheer fun of singing she worked with amateur combos in her younger days, performing i.e. Andrew Sister songs. Then HE walked into the frame, Elvis! Movies, music, clothing, presence – Peggy got seriously infected. Because of material security, she became a foreign language secretary. But the music never let her go. Working in a Presley cover band didn't change her mind – the young lady wanted to stand on her own feet! She wanted to sing rockabilly like only a few women did in the past: Wanda Jackson, Charline Arthur, Sister Rosetta (Tharpe), who also had not been afraid of taking possession of songs by legendary colleagues. The time was ripe for Peggy Sugarhill! The Backbeat musicians appeared on the scene. They had successfully supported popular German vocalist, Sascha with his new chart hitting concept. Already her first live shows in bars, on village fairs and similar events produced a lot of feedback, upward trend. Producers who were interested in working with her, left her alone when they learned about her pregnancy. What next? What to do? There's nothing like doing it yourself: Peggy and her band put together a CD under their own direction, recorded 'live' at Hanno Kahl's Bex Studio in Cologne. And when Bear Family Records, always open for newcomers, heard about the project, it was thumbs up! from them, too! It was done! Genre classics like Arthur Crudup's That's Alright Mama, Brian Setzer's Swithcblade 327 (Stray Cats), Jackie DeShannon's Breakaway, and Titus Turner's Sticks And Stones – Peggy Sugarhill knows how to handle this. In a cool manner she is adding convincing, explosive original songs to her debut (Rockabilly Music Is Bad Bad Bad, Gisele, Eldorado Lost), without ever lowering the high level of quality. Ladies first: contemporary rockabilly has a new name – Peggy Sugarhill.
