“Bakelite Radio represents the kind of music I was listening to as a young boy digging the wealth and richness of the blues. Several of these songs were just lying about looking for a little sunlight. The idea was not to dissect every little move, just keep the spirit intact and be sympathetic to the double bass. Ed, Claude, Nicky, Simon and I would instinctively pick up what was needed. We recorded 20 tracks for the Bakelite sessions in 6 x 4hr blocks at Woodstock Studios, Melbourne between Nov & Dec 2002.”

Joe Camilleri 

 'Fine roots material'

FEATURE ALBUM Dig Radio, 15 Sep 03 

 'Warm, relaxed and swinging across a repertoire that includes tunes from Blind Willie McTell, Tampa Red and JJ Cale'

Courier Mail, Brisbane, 20 Sep 03

 'Mellow with a low-slung groove... a classy take on easy-going wind-down music

* * * 1/2' Rave Magazine, Brisbane, 23 Sep 03

'A set that is amongst his best. An impressive collection.'

Adelaide Review, Oct 03

'One of Camilleri's most satisfying releases. The playing on this album is sublime. Bakelite Radio is a low-key release but don't let it pass you by. Its a gem'
