Buckle Up

DD Verni is best known as a founding member of Overkill, but he is at it again with his Cadillac Band. This second DD Verni and the Cadillac Band record Buckle Up picks up (and goes further) than their exciting debut Lets Rattle. With the success of the last record, DD was able to recruit some of the genres top players to record on this new record. The rhythm section is made up of Bernie Dresel on drums and Johnny Hatton on the slap bass. Both played in Brian Setzer’s band for years and are two of the absolute best in the genre. Horn arrangements were by Jim McMillen. Jim has done arrangements for Rod Stewart and shines here. Horn players from Paul McCartney’s band, The Eagles as well as pianist Or Matias (Josh Groben), guitarist Angus Clark (Trans-Siberian Orchestra) and backing vocals by Kingston and Greystarr round out the talented band.
