Press Reviews For Immediate Release October, 2002 Contact: Dana Forrester Heckler Entertainment 248-545-4749 hecklerdetroit@yahoo.com Detroit's Howling Diablos land track on Sun Records Tribute "Good Rockin' Tonight" (London-Sire Records) with Rock's Greatest Legends Including Bob Dylan, Elton John, Paul McCartney and Robert Plant/Jimmy Page. Detroit-Perhaps the only act that is not yet a household name, the Howling Diablos version of Stick McGhee's "Drinkin' Wine-Spo-Dee-O-Dee" is one of the stand-out tracks on the new "Good Rockin' Tonight (The Legacy of Sun Records)" disc. The Howling Diablos were personally invited by Atlantic Records pioneer Ahmet Ertegun, (who is also "Good Rockin' Tonight's" producer) to record "Drinkin' Wine-Spo-Dee-O-Dee" for the tribute album. The song has special significance for Ertegun, as it was Atlantic Record's first big hit, propelling the then jazz and blues focused label into the national spotlight. So how does it feel for the Howling Diablos to be included on a record alongside rock legends Paul McCartney (who throws down on "That's All Right Mama") and Bob Dylan (crooning "Red Cadillac and a Black Moustache")?! Tino (the Howling Diablos' lead vocalist) effuses, "It's amazing , sometimes I pinch myself . It's incredible to be on this record with our heroes. But on the other hand we are musicians too and we can hang . I think we're supposed to be on it and we're really grateful." While longtime Howing Diablos fan and supporter Kid Rock joins the band on "Drinkin' Wine-Spo-Dee-O-Dee", when he first heard the Howling Diablos version, the multi-platinum artist was reluctant to add his trademark rap vocals because he liked their tracks so much. And what exactly is Wine-Spo-Dee-O-Dee? Tino explains, "It's an old term, a blues thing when all the winos would take the last of what's left in the bottles , and pour it all together to create a big mash. They would share it ... a big slop bucket full of alcohol." "Good Rockin' Tonight" hit the streets on October 30th. The Howling Diablos will also be featured in the network television special directed by award-winning filmmaker Bruce Sinofsky that will air in November and be available on DVD. Listen for the Howling Diablos track on college and commercial radio. The catchy "Drinkin' Wine-Spo-Dee-O-Dee" is sure to be a hit for music lovers of all ages. editor's note: Howling Diablos are available for interviews. CD, press kit, biographical data and photo are included. Heckler Entertainment: Detroit-248-545-4749
