Noisy Cats: CATCH-22 vol.1 with a bonus track
Remixed for the occasion by Matt The Cat – digital mp3 download only!
Go Away Hound Dog (Cliff Johnson)
original performer: Cliff Johnson 1957
One of our long-time favorites. Covered by some.
Ravioli Rock (Matt The Cat-Bob Cat)
Noisy Cats 2022
Our original of the EP. In style of The Treniers and Freddie Bell & The Bellboys. Kind of jazzy swing and doo-wop combined. Written mostly by Matt, Bob only helped with some of the lyrics.
Bop Bop A Doo Bop (Lew Williams)
original performer: Lew Williams 1956
Stray Cats took this and created Fishnet Stockings. We took them both here. The beginning of the first guitar solo follows the original.
Drinkin’ Wine Spo Dee O Dee (Stick McGhee-J.Mayo Williams)
original performer: Stick McGhee 1949
Especially Matt’s favorite. Busload of covers, e.g. by Jerry Lee Lewis and Johnny Burnette Trio. The guitar parts follow the Burnette version, where Grady Martin plays the nice lead guitar.

BONUS TRACK: I Love You Because (Leon Payne)
original performer: Leon Payne 1949
Covered by many, e.g. Elvis Presley, Johnny Cash and Jim Reeves. Bob liked the song when it was played in midtempo, instead of Elvis’ very slow performance. This is a very nice treatment by Noisy Cats. Recorded during the early Catch 22 sessions.
Background
This is a digital rockabilly / rock’n’roll release from the Finnish brothers Bob Cat and Matt The Cat. The group has been around since 1989 and still going strong. Bob Cat created the cover, using Stray Cats’ and Polecats’ first album covers as a tribute guideline.
Noisy Cats consists of Esa and Marko singing and playing everything you can (and cannot) hear on this set. However, the origin of their inspiration dates back to the sound of the 1950’s.
So far Bob and Matt, aka Esa Wirta and Marko Virta, have recorded mostly original material with some significant exceptions to the rule. Also, you can hear them sing and play for example on Spotify and other streaming services.
