The Killer’s perennial country-tinged rock ‘n’ roll has taken on a number of guises over the years, from fraught in-your-face extremes, to beer-sodden regret. There are many collections out there that display different faces of the man whose fingers and feet did the talking on the piano. The Silver Collection has key-splintering salvos but the backing is more contemporary with more rock based arrangements and full on country feel in places as he re-records fine versions of classics like Blue Suede Shoes, Shake Rattle And Roll and Chantilly Lace alongside Roger Miller’s King Of The Road, Hank Williams’ Your Cheatin’ Heart and Creedence Clearwater Revival’s Bad Moon Rising.
