(Rhythm & blues, doo-wop, soul) Clairy Browne & The Bangin' Rackettes - Baby Caught The Bus - 2011, MP3, 320 kbps

Fierce leading lady Clairy Browne and her harmonizing girl group, The Bangin’ Rackettes formed in 2009 over a mutual love of early rhythm n’ blues records and big hair.
Since their debut, the group have been bringing back the big show to venues and festivals all over the country with highlights including touring with the Big Day Out and The Cat Empire and playing Golden Plains and Melbourne Festival.
The nine-piece rhythm and blues big band will take you though the hard-hitting sounds of northern soul, jump blues, doo-wop, ska and gospel. Fuelled by an eclectic mix of influences ranging from Etta James, Tina Turner and Prince to D’Angelo and Salt n’ Pepa, Clairy Browne & the Bangin’ Rackettes are renowned for delivering a dynamic and energetic live show with their contemporary take on all the showmanship from the shindig era of the 60’s.
This collection of songs is delivered with dynamic vocal harmonies and the force of the rhythm section, with Clairy’s big soul voice and the horns leading the procession.
