The Breadmakers - Cool! (Corduroy Records 1996)

 

  

Timothy Gassen describes the sound of the Breadmakers as "mid-60s styled white R&B, heavily influenced by the British R&B scene of The Downliners Sect and Pretty Things. The sixpiece plays it pretty purist and straight, with some tasty harmonica and piano adding spark and flavor."
 
Biography
Melbourne, AU based "The Breadmakers" are playin' their Sloppy Swamp Pop since 1989.
Hoodoo White (Davern White, ex-Bo-Weevils) is on guitar and vocals, Lazy Dik (Richard Whelan) on Vocals, Harmonica & Maracas, Homesick Gordon playin lead guitar, Cadillac Slim (Nicholas Phillips, ex-The Puritans) is on bass while Bootpolish Lacey (Scott Lacey, another ex-The Puritans) plays drums. Smokey Shephard is on Piano and. Organ.  
First two LP’s Hoodoo Nightspot and Twelve More Miles To Midnight (later reissued as ... single CD) are followed by The Night The Moon Forgot To Rise. After Cool!, their last effort was sort of swamp rock opera The Case Of The Smouldering Redhead in 1998, all for Corduroy Records. A slightly changed line-up is back with the live set Night Of The Cobra in 2008, and they're still rockin'.    -BuckSooz


"Breadmakers were the house band of Corduroy, when Corduroy existed. Band and label were creatures of Nicky Shutdown, as well as the Puritans, Driveaway Service and Shutdown '66, all monsters freed from Nick's imagination to give vent to his love for the racy sound of the sixties. A love that must never be completely passed, if on the threshold of old age the good Nick decides that it is time to reform the band.... Franco "Lys" Dimauro
 
....but their newest incredible effort is not supposed to be our topic today and these words are only for additional information. 
Today the 4th album "Cool!" shall be brought to your ears. In 2005 the website of Corduroy offered the now 24 years old excellent piece of work with the following words:
 
"An absolutely swingin', cocktail shakin' masterpiece from the Breadmakers. Lots of hip new & original tunes about martinis, highways, voodoo and tequila, all recorded  in their favourite 1959 mono studio."
 
That's all I could find about this album on the net and in my archives.
