Ole Sonny Boy !

Image
The folks who-follow-the-shoe say that Ole Sonny Boy is apparently a pseudonym for Papa Lightfoot , and the folks who-follow-the-gourd say that Ole Sonny Boy is in fact J.D. Horton. Anyone ?

Trouble !

Hello my dears. For those who don’t know their story, The Music Machine was an US band headed by singer-songwriter Sean Bonniwell and based in Los Angeles. The group came together as The Ragamuffins in 1965, but became The Music Machine in 1966. The single "Talk Talk" was recorded at RCA studios on July 30, 1966. Their debut album, (Turn On) The Music Machine , was released in 1966 on the Original Sound label. Seven of the twelve tracks were originals, written by Bonniwell. One of these, "Talk Talk," became a Top 20 hit in the U.S. The follow-up single, "The People In Me," peaked at #66. Bonniwell blamed the weak showing of this single on a supposed feud between the band's manager and a top record executive. Four cover songs were included on this release, due to record company pressure. After a promotional tour of the U.S., the rest of the original line-up, which included Ron Edgar (drums), Mark Landon (guitar), Keith Olsen (bass) and Doug Rhodes (orga

Doktor Combover !

Hello y’all. Since the whole damn world knows that your host is an international superstar , I’m gonna give some credits to an other super-freaky-underground- sleazy band. From their roots working the strip joints of Las Vegas, Doktor Combover perfected their raw and dirty instrumental sleaze, pumpin' out ass shakin' grooves for the topless dancers' filthy gyrations. Their reputation as the dirtiest and most notorious combo on the strip led to their acclaimed residency at Burlesque joint 'The Go-Go Cage'. Over-indulging in a downright salacious playboy lifestyle resulted in the boys being run out of town by mobsters after running up massive gambling debts. Frantically looking for a new home they chose to flee overseas to Liverpool in England, attracted to its NorthWestCoast scene,its sunny climate and the city's fine surfing action on its world famous River Mersey. The Combover boys saw that this ledgendary city desperately needed a hot sleaze injection due to d

Rose, Rose, I Love You !

Ok folks, and now…something for the week-end One of my all time fav’ song for drinkin’ time ! (and I do have some drinkin’ time, believe me) Yao Lee possessed a remarkable voice that ensured her reign at the top of the hit parade lasted longer than any other Shangai diva. The little sister of celebrated composer Tao Min, Yao Lee was making a name for herself on radio at age 14 and achieved enormous success in 1940 with the Rose Rose I love You. Her career gained new strenght after relocating to Hong Kong. Nicknamed Hong Kong’s Patti Page, she sang covers of American tunes refitted with Chinese lyrics as well as homegrown Madarin ballads. Yao Lee - Rose, Rose, I Love You Yao Lee - This Love Is Not For Me FRIDAY BONUUUUUS ! Frankie Laine - Rose, Rose, I Love You Rex Kona - Bushi, Bushi + As requested by Princess Leia : Paul Evans - Happy Go Lucky Me Oh by the way, don’t believe what they tell you, we’re ok, keep up the fight, and fuck off to those who try to put you down.

The Victors !

Image
Thanks to Richie Unterberger for the bio ! The Victors were a mid-1960s Minneapolis garage band noted for including two future members of the Litter, Jim Kane (on bass) and Denny Waite (on vocals). Kane's friend Warren Kendrick recorded five unreleased cover songs with them, eventually issued on the 1993 CD The Scotty Story, which collects 30 Kendrick-produced tracks from several acts. These five tracks were competent covers of British Invasion tunes by Them and the Yardbirds, as well as a couple of soul songs. They're of interest only as artifacts in the Litter story. In 1966, Kane and Waite would team with a couple of members of another local band, the Tabs, to form the Litter, which went on to greater and more original things, with Kendrick still the producer.

Baboon Boogie !

Jimmy Murphy is one of the more enigmatic figures to come out of the country/rockabilly scene of the early to mid-1950s. A virtuoso guitar player and a gifted and inspired songwriter, he always defied categorization. His influences ranged from Jimmie Rodgers, to rockabilly, to honky tonk and bluegrass ! Murphy passed away in 1981. Jimmy Murphy - Baboon Boogie Jimmy Murphy - 16 Tons Of Rock'n'Roll FRIDAY 'LET US RIDE TO CAMELOT' BONUS !

The Joy Boys !

Image
In South Australia they were born (heave away, haul away). The band started playing under the name K.J. QUINTET. Jacobsen brothers (Kevin & Colin) changed the name of the band for Colin Joye And The Joy Boys in 1957. They recorded under Col Joye’s Joy Boys in 1960 and 1961 and as The Joy Boys from 1961. Enjoy !

Voodoo Blues !

Joe Williams was born in Cordele Georgia in 1918 and raised in Chicago by his mother. Chicago radio served as a vehicle for Joe to experience the many great jazz and blues artists of that time. He sang with many bands including Red Saunders, Johnny Long, Erskine Tate, Jimmy Noone, Coleman Hawkins, Lionel Hampton, and of course, Count Basie. That association lasted from 1954 to 1961, when Basie's "Number One Son" left the band with Basie's blessing to become a solo performer. Anyway, here’s two fantastic tracks from 1951 that ‘Jumpin’’ Joe Williams recorded with the mighty Red Saunders’ Orchestra .

Peppermint Harris !

Image
Although Peppermint Harris wrote lyrics for B B King and Etta James, his early success was followed by obscurity before he enjoyed a small revival among blues enthusiasts. By the time he was in his early 20s, Harrison Nelson, Jr. was lucky enough to have found a mentor and friend on the Houston blues front: Lightnin' Hopkins took an interest in the young man's musical development. When Harris was deemed ready, Lightnin' accompanied him to Houston's Gold Star Records. Nothing came of that jaunt, but Harris eventually recorded his debut 78 for the company in 1948 (as Peppermint Nelson). Bob Shad's Sittin' in With label was the vehicle that supplied Harris' early work to the masses -- especially his first major hit, "Raining in My Heart," in 1950. These weren't exactly formal sessions -- legend has it one took place in a Houston bordello! Nor was Shad too cognizant of Pep's surname -- when he couldn't recall it, he simply renamed our man

Stomp Fever !

The Denvermen actually took their name from the places that they came from. Dubbo, England, Norway, Villawood, Epping, Randwick. (D-E-N-V-E-R. Get it?) Anyway, they created Australian touring history at the time by travelling in excess of 400,000 kilometres throughout 1963! The Denvermen - Stomp Fever The Denvermen - The Mexican
