must recommend jerry lee lewis, the killer, the hell raising boogie woogie anti-christ, his stuff is just the biz, as is the biograpgy Hellfire by Nick Tosches, tho Little Richard gets the drop on him in my book
worth checking some of the many Sun rock and roll comps available cheap on CD for the multi-racial Memphis roots of this scene, lots of people never heard of since laying down big fat slices of country / rhythm and blues hybrids, proably Ike turners Rocket 88 (is that title right) is the seminal work in this genre
and really, the King, the elvis stuff from this period is awesome, mystery train, milk cow boogie, even heartbreak hotel, before it all descended into parody.
lovely stuff, had a great night of it in the backroom of this years Resonance party played by (i think) a Mexicano rockabilly woman on one old dansette turntable, like God intended. |
