UNION Avenue plays least expected cover versions of popular songs in the style of Johnny Cash during his early Sun session years in the 1950s.

From Pink Floyd to the Stones and Bob Marley to Creedence, Union Avenue make these songs sound like they were written by, or for, Cash. The band's version of Motorhead's 'Ace of Spades' is a former record of the week on BBC Radio 1 and is available now on Raucous Records.

Andrew Cardno's superb vocals sound more like Cash than the man in black himself . He is accompanied in Union Avenue by a line-up culled from some of Sctland's highest profile rockabilly, roots and blues bands:

Paul Paterson (lead guitar) is Scotland's finest rockabilly guitarist from one of the UK's best rockabilly bands Hi Voltage.

Matt Hill (upright bass) is the larger than life frontman of glam-a-billy rebels The Dagmars.

Dave Arcari (acoustic guitar) is frontman of Radiotones and swaps his trademark national steel guitars for the sound of wood.
