"The album kicks off with mid-tempo rockabilly & nice picking from Hurtt & a good balance between the bass & drums. Things get more frantic with their cover of (I Got) A Hole In My Pocket. Back to a more traditional sound with the hillbilly-tinged Conscience to the Wind. Beehive Baby is on the neo-side & reminds a bit of Levi Dexter. They turn Memphis Minnie’s Down In the Alley into a solid rockabilly-blues stroller while Buzzsaw is a surf instrumental showing the diversity & the skill of the band. Next is Croc-O-Doll, a Rockabilly/Rock’n’Roll number that wouldn’t be out of place on the Ripsaw label, think Billy Hancock. Back to Rockabilly-blues with Lazy Lester’s Lover Not A Fighter with lead singer Ron Scott playing some harmonica. It’s time for lead guitarist Eric Hurtt to take the lead vocals on a period perfect cover of Slipping Out & Slipping In. It’s Love Baby is straight ahead blues with a top notch guitar solo. Blue Tricks ends this good & eclectic album on a fas

"Whether on gigs or on the new album, Four Star Combo delivers lean and hungry modern rockabilly that hits the jackpot as first-rate entertainment. Built for speed, indeed!"

“This type of CD suits me marvelously. Ron Scott (voc, gtr, hca), Eric Hurtt (lead gtr, voc), Donovan Stokes (bass) and Drake Sorey (drums), after years spent in various formations, combined their talents in 2007 for a Rockabilly/Hillbilly Bop/Honky Tonk quartet. They do not confuse rhythm with excessive speed, and Eric-like Carl Perkins-reels off notes with ease, which doesn't prevent the guitar from being incisive. In short, they understand everything about the music they play. There is no weak title among the 12 songs, mixing well chosen covers (two rockin' Blues /Rockabilly's: Down In The Alley & Lover Not A Fighter, and a Hillbilly Bop revival of Jeepster by T Rex-the original of which was unknown to me) and original compositions (Wait A Minute, Baby-classic Rockabilly with call & response, and the superb Honky Tonk/Bakersfield-flavored, Conscience To The Wind). The only question I ask myself is: why did it take seven years for a 1st album?”

"I received this album from 2014 on Man O Man! Records from The Four Star Combo. The band, all dressed up looking perfect for the music they bring to you on their first full length album. What do I see? A mix of plain good old rockabilly, honky tonk and vintage instruments. Well, that’s exactly what I heard on their album, containing the bands' originals and covers (A Hole in My Pocket). Honky tonk original, "Conscience To The Wind, makes you sing along with the lyrics easily. Buzzsaw is an instrumental with a surf style. A variation of Americana roots styles and influences you can hear very well in this album. Ron has a deep rock and roll voice you can compare easily to singers of the ol’ days. They have a sound Gene Vincent would appreciate, especially the guitars. If you are an “old school rock and roller” type, looking for some traditional roots music, here you are! An album many would like to bop on!"

"Man I dig rockabilly. The sparse arrangements, the twangy guitars, the hiccupped, deep-throated vocals, that slap bass. And there are just some albums that make me remember exactly why I love it so much. Wait a Minute Baby by The Four Star Combo out of Washington DC is one of those records. This record sounds really great. It’s modern recording but with all the elements of classic rockabilly. I’ve listened through this record numerous times, and I’m still enjoying it. These guys have a great feel for the music. And they’ve perfected the rockabilly attitude which shines through on each tune. And those other influences that, while of course went into spawning rockabilly in the first place, are not usually so close to the surface as they are with Four Star Combo…I like it."

"Rockin' and Rollin' on the Town Green": The sounds of primal rockabilly music filled the town of Vienna’s Town Green as part of the Summer on the Green concert series on June 14. Concertgoers unfolded lawn chairs, spread blankets and unpacked picnics as The Four Star Combo band provided the soundtrack to a beautiful evening."

“Good recordings and also playing. Two songs “Wait a Minute, Baby” and “Conscience to the Wind” (simple and catchy-also in different styles, which shows creativity of author) are self penned by rhythm guitar player and vocalist Ron Scott. Somehow I feel it ["Linda Lou"] might be a favourite song of lead guitarist Eric Hurtt, finally he is given the perfect chance to show all his complicated guitar skills, which you can describe in one short word “wow!” “Rompin’ and Stompin’ ” by Curtis Gordon is brilliantly covered, with replacing piano solo of the original song with the guitar picking and guitar solo with a demonstrating walking bass of upright bass player Rolf Hanson. The next “pause” is filled with…drumming! Even being a little bit too much enthusiastic, the drummer “The Oklahoma Kid” deserves applause. “Daddy-O-Rock” is another good choice! In general I liked the band very much-the whole opinion would certainly be very favorable.”
