Wild Bob Burgos is an artist whose career I have looked at closely throughout the years with Matchbox, The Wild Angels, etc., and not forgetting his solo projects with his own band. He has a hell of a drum sound on several tracks and it really blends remarkably well with the rest of the instruments. That's strictly a recording aspect of his work, which really helps getting the music off the ground.
I've listened to Wild Bob's music before on a previous CD and found it very rewarding. Wild Bob's band are out of this world and I would really like to have these guys backing me up on some future recordings - that'd be a real kick in the ass!! These cats play some of the meanest Berry, Elmore James and what have you that I've heard for a hell of a long time!! I enjoyed Bob's music enormously, it really and truly shows that he knows where it's at as far as rock'n'roll goes. I won't put any brakes on, cause he deserves all the recognition he can playing rock'n'roll this good!! I'm always glad to help a fellow rocker of Wild Bob's calibre, because he really deserves it!

No one has made a better impression than my friend Wild Bob... I say friend because I feel like I've known him for a long time. (Maybe we played music in another life together, who knows!) Listening to his music, I can tell he knows what he's doing. I love the overall feel of it, and how everything has its space so to speak. It's well thought out my man, and I really like that. All this and it has a nice edge to it too! Congratulations Bob! I hope things go well for you, and you can damn well count on me among, I'm sure, many fans. I hope we work together some time soon Bob, I think we speak the same language. Keep Rockin' man... always your pal,

Wild Bob Burgos is one of the most in-demand session and stage rock'n'roll drummers in Europe. He has appeared on over 80 albums with estimated world sales of 1,250,000. Bob, who is of Spanish extraction, began his rock'n'roll career almost three decades ago as a founding member of South London's fabulous Shotgun. He has subsequently been drummer for Shakin' Stevens & The Sunsets, Marty Wilde, Matchbox, Tommy Bruce, and many others. A prolific song-writer, his work has been recorded by The Blue Caps, The Comets, The Wild Angels, Screaming Lord Sutch, and others. Bob is perhaps equally as well known for his body tattoos as his wild vocals. Today he lives in Essex with his wife, and is always in demand as a performer in his own right on the continent. As rockabilly queen Janis Martin once said, 'Wild Bob Burgos IS Rock'n'Roll!'

I was just listening to one of Bob's CD's and it's a great compliment to the 50s music as Wild Bob is a great singer and also a terrific drummer as well. This compact disc 'Red Hot 'n' Rockin" is truly rock'n'roll at its best. Thanks for everything Bob... a good buddy and friend.
