Million Dollar Tones is a great eight piece group, very together, driven by a super hammer-line drum beat, producing really authentic recreations of rocking r&b and well-writen originals in a genuine Southern, all-black rock and roll style. The singer, Antti Pajula, is a revelation. He doesn't try to ape Little Richard, but he uses his own voice to superb effect remodeling the music that was wonderful then, and is wonderful now.

The listener is immediately won over by hot guitar licks followed by meaty baritone and tenor sax rock 'n' roll intersposed in the genuine rocking piano. Million Dollar Tones are not trying to be a copy, they are making fabulous rocking music and they are having a wonderful time doing it.
