16 Knockout Hits

Description

It's the most awesome and sensational rhythm'n'blues-punk band from London. And it's a band that truly embodies London, with its eclectic mix of Caribbean, French, Japanese, and Spanish influences. With a repertoire inspired by many great classics from the 50s and 60s, reinterpreted to offer a fresh and modern sound, you won't be able to help but tap your feet when the Cumberland Three resonate at full volume in your speakers. The King screams like Screaming Jay Hawkins, with Bo Diddley chasing after him, while André Williams tries to offer him some of his bacon fat, and the Trashmen perform "Surfin' Bird" behind him. He's a man who never stops swaying, wriggling, and grooving.
For nearly two decades, King Salami & the Cumberland Three have been spreading their explosive mix of rhythm & punk across this vast world, bringing with them tons of good cheer, unbridled energy, madness, smiles, and sweat! With this quartet, every concert is a real party!! To mark their 20 years of concerts and dozens of albums released, King Salami & the Cumberland Three have drawn from their vast repertoire to select 16 of their most heart-wrenching tracks. The result is an album overflowing with good cheer, featuring wacky classics such as "The Pulpo Dance," "Pineapple Mama," "Shake it Wild," and "Do the Wurst," as well as their lesser-known instrumental track "Itch!," recently used in the television advertisement for Dreamies cat food.
