People love to gamble, it’s exciting and fraught with danger, in a world rigid with conformity and mediocrity- no wonder people turn to the element of chance in a vain hope of hitting that big win and a solution to all their problems. Of course this is a very rare occurrence and for the most part the dream is short lived. No wonder then that so many great songs have been written about the subject- Gambling in life is also synonymous with the Rock ‘n’ Roll life style- Living on the edge – Let’s face it ‘Thee who dares wins’. Whether it be Blues, Country or Rockabilly - you just struck lucky if you got your hands on this album!
