Roots Music Report

The title of Jimmy Regal & The Royals’ second album proclaims both the band's love of the roots music culture of the southern United States, and their less salubrious relationship with the fast food of their native South London. To cement their standing in the fine tradition of Old Skool Thames Delta Rhythm & Blues – stretching from The Rolling Stones to Dr Feelgood – Late Night Chicken was produced by Simon Trought at Soup Studio, which is situated in a former lightship on the banks of the muddy Thames.
