”In The Mood” är The Playtones femte album sedan starten för cirka 3 år sedan, och innehåller 15 låtar av både originallåtar och covers. Stefan ”Boppin’ Steve” ligger bakom flera utav låtarna, och även Tobias Einestad står för några låtar, även en Bromölla tjej vid namnet Martina Karlsson står för öppningsspåret ”Chevy 55”, kanske har vi en ny framtida textförfattare här? Albumets titel är tagen från Glenn Millners gamla låt från 40-talet ”In The Mood”, förutom cover på Glenn Millner gör The Playtones sina versioner på bland andra Waylon Jennings ”Nobody Knows I’m Elvis”, Chuck Berry’s ”Roll Over Beethoven” Dorsey Burnette’s ”Let’s Fall In Love”.

”In The Mood” känns faktiskt lite som om dem har backat bandet lite, musikmässigt påminner det en hel del om albumet ”Rock ‘N’ Roll Is King” än det förra albumet ”Rock The Road” som var mer V8 råa avgasfyllda rockabilly / rock ‘n’ roll influerad. Vissa påstår dock att ”In The Mood” innehåller mer rockabilly / rock ‘n’ roll och country influenser än tidigare, men jag vet inte om jag kan skriva under på det.

Förutom Martina Karlssons låt ”Chevy 55” så innehåller albumet flera guldkorn, men den som har etsat sig fast mest i mitt öra är ”Where Do We Go” som gästas av Sveriges absoluta nya stjärnskott Fanny Mae från Fanny Mae and The Dynamite Believers. En perfekt kombination av en av Sveriges bästa musiker/sångare Stefan ”Boppin’ Steve” Jonasson och en av mina favorit sångerskor Fanny Mae, tillsammans gör dem ”Where Do We Go” klart den bästa låten på detta album. ”Don’t Slam The Door” är inte heller fy skam, den är mer åt country swing hållet dessutom gästas låten av Stefans styvdotter Izabell Jossbom

Avslutningsvis, man kan alltid räkna med att det som Stefan ”Boppin’ Steve” och The Playtones kommer ut med svänger och får alla att vilja svänga sina lurviga på dansbanan, The Playtones kanske snöade in på dansbands-hållet när bandet slog igenom på TV-programmet Dansbandskampen men nu börjar det att arta sig, för nu lutar det åt det som Stefan ”Boppin’ Steve” ska syssla med, svängig rockabilly / rock ‘n’ roll med hett pianospel.

Here you go – Here is our interpretation of early.
In the days when music history created, fast no one knew about it.
In our hearts, one of the greatest yet least record label and studio, Sun Records, 706 Union Avenue in Memphis Tennessee.
We’ve collected some of our favorites on this article.
Of course some of my own interpretations and some songs you probably heard before and some you have not heard.

Sun Records is like a big treasure chest and finding new diamonds all the time. The Years 1952-1960 it never really end.
We have here b la picked from, Warren Smith, Carl Perkins, Jerry Lee Lewis, Little Milton, Charlie Rich, Carl Mann och Onie Wheeler.
We are proud o happy to have done this for real, The old fashioned way!
A bunch of awesome songs, joyously, a couple of cases of beer, four pickups in one o the same room, great energy and attitude. We loved it!
