Ethyl and the Regulars – Fill’er Up [LP]
by Sheila Broderick
Self-proclaimed High-Octane Hillbilly Boogie and Western Swing, Ethyl and the Regulars certainly deliver! You will find yourself hard pressed to find a spot on the dance floor when this group performs. Coming together in November of 2005, they have become one of Denver’s premier attractions in the local Rockabilly and Country scene. Members are frontman Hank Hays, Tim Whitlock on the pedal steel, mandolin, and vocals, Jeff Yeary on the rhythm guitar and vocals, Donnie Jerome on the upright bass and vocals, and Mark Milard on drums. Influenced by Hank Williams, Johnny Horton, Dwight Yoakum, and more … this group really gets you swinging!
Their full-length 10-track CD, Fill’er Up, released in 2009, is a must-have addition to any collection (available on iTunes and CDBaby). “Clementine” and “Big As Texas” get you moving no matter where you are. One thing I love about this group is they are as good live as they are recorded, which seems to be hard to come by these days. If you like Country and you like to shake a tail feather, go check these guys out – you are guaranteed to have a good time!
