He used to tour as a hired guitarist with Primal Scream, but Barrie Cadogan's own music is steeped in rockabilly and blues. Stand Your Ground, his second album with his eponymous Nottingham trio, romanticises the era when groovy young British bands looked westward for inspiration. There's not much attempt to incorporate developments post-1960 - producer Dan the Automator, of Gorillaz renown, could have brought his hip-hop experience to bear, but he lets Barrie follow his heart.
