The Alarm Clocks !

Image
Wild, carefree, and rambunctious, The Alarm Clocks (1966 Ohio) transcend garage rock, implementing R&B and, at times, soul in their search for the perfect rock 'n' roll anthem ! And, believe it or not, they come darn close to rock 'n' roll perfection on choice cuts like "Yeah!" The Alarm Clocks - Yeah ! The Alarm Clocks - No Reason To Complain

Road Runner !

Image
« You can practically smell the burning rubber and see the smoke, but most of all you will hear the actual hot rod sounds along with getting that surge of speed feeling. This is HOT ROD MUSIC...it's new and designed for you, the hot-rodder! » When Del-Fi owner Bob Keane sensed that the surf wave had crested in the summer of 1963, he latched onto instrumental hot-rod music as the possible Next Big Thing and arranged some sessions with some of LA’s finest to create the scorchin’ tracks you’re about to hear. This one features session guitar slinger Tommy Tedesco ripping up the track. Yup, Hot Rod baby !

Jimmy Crain !

Image
Shortly after his seventeenth birthday (in 1958), Jimmy Crain signed a recording deal with Floyd Whited, owner of the Springfield, Ohio based Spangle label. Jimmy's first and only release on Spangle was "Shig-A-Shag", which was recorded at Bradley Studios in Nashville. Crain insists that he wrote the song himself, though the label credit reads "M. Whited / R. Fisher". Jimmy Crain - Shig-A-Shag Jimmy Crain - Spooky Village

In 1947 Dixon cut his earliest sides for the Supreme label. Playing piano and singing in the "jump" style of early rhythm-and-blues, he subsequently recorded for Aladdin, Modern and Specialty, and made early road forays with B.B. King and Ray Charles, whom he encouraged away from crooning and towards church-based styles. ...

Jack Starr !

Image
Jack Starr was both a rockabilly performer and a monster-movie makeup artist and much of his stuff were recorded in his mom's bathroom ! The lack of quality just adds to the magic. Starr was infatuated with monster flicks of the time and set about to make his own, creating his own costumes and, of course, soundtracks. In other words, a hero.

Young Jessie !

It's Tuesday ! It's Young Jessie ! Born on Dec 28, 1936 in Lincoln Manor, Texas, Obediah 'Young' Jessie was a member of the Flairs, Hunters, and Coasters, as well as scoring a solo West Coast hit with his 1955 rocker "Mary Lou." He was a Los Angeles high-school classmate of Richard "Louie Louie" Berry too ! Platters manager Buck Ram took over Jessie's career in time to pen his torrid 1956 rocker "Hit, Git & Split" under the sobriquet of Lynn Paul. Well, thanks to our international Pete , go check his discography if you want some more ! Young Jessie - Hit Git & Split Young Jessie - I Smell A Rat Young Jessie - Mary Lou

Endless Sleep !

Image
Jody Reynolds had a million-seller in 1958 with "Endless Sleep." The single became a forerunner of death rock classics ! Reynolds charted for the last time that same year with a number titled "Fire of Love." Reynolds had written ‘Endless Sleep’ in a single afternoon in 1956 in Yuma, AZ. Some of Reynolds' songs give a writing credit to Dolores Nance, but the name is a pseudonym that Reynolds used. Despite the lack of a string of chart successes, his one big seller was enough to ensure Reynolds' membership in the Rockabilly Hall of Fame, which inducted him in 1999. He left the limelight during the 1970s. He settled in Palm Springs, CA, where he sells real estate if I’m correct. Jody Reynolds - Endless Sleep Jody Reynolds - Fire Of Love + FRIDAY BONUS !

Maceo Merriweather !

Image
Major ‘Big Maceo’ Merriweather was already a seasoned pianist when he arrived in Detroit in 1924. After working around the Motor City scene, he ventured to Chicago in 1941 to make his recording debut for producer Lester Melrose and RCA Victor's Bluebird subsidiary. His first day in the studio produced 14 tracks -- six of his own and eight more as accompanist to renowned Chicago guitarist Tampa Red. One of his initial efforts, "Worried Life Blues," has passed into blues standard status (Chuck Berry was hip to it, covering it for Chess). Merriweather remained Tampa Red's favorite pianistic accompanist after that, gigging extensively with him and Big Bill Broonzy on Chicago's South side. He died in 1953 after suffering a debilitating stroke in 1946. Read a more complete bio here ! Maceo Merriweather - Have You Heard About It Maceo Merriweather - Worried Life Blues #2

Buster Brown !

Image
A Georgia native, Buster Brown ((1911-1976)) was a harmonica player who never made a recording until his late forties when he arrived in New York City in 1959 to record his one and only true hit, the classic Fanny Mae. He had a number of smaller hits in the early 60s before sinking into obscurity. Buster Brown - Fannie Mae Buster Brown - Is You Is Or Is You Ain't (My Baby) Buster Brown - Sugar Babe + FRIDAY BONUS !

The Super Stocks !

Image
The Super Stocks were one of the better and more interesting studio creations of producer-composer Gary Usher. Usher assembled a core of regular players, including Glen Campbell, Richie Podolor, and Paul Johnson on guitars; Hal Blaine on drums; and Steve Douglas on sax. He handled some of the early vocals himself, with Chuck Girard, Ritchie Burns, and Joe Kelly also singing; and Girard eventually took over most of the vocal chores. The Super Stocks were among Usher's more fondly remembered surf "bands" of this period, and one of the more ubiquitous, with three complete LPs to their credit as well as appearances on two popular compilation albums.
