A wonky recording but an infectious number.

 

 

Dave Edmunds is absolutely smokin' on lead.  I'm sure your neighbors will love it, too.

 

 

Good to see a good man back on the thread.

Welcome back Tippaporn. 

 

Thanks, bannork.  I've got some free time again so I'll just be groovin' for a while.

 

 

Been looking for some long forgotten gems from the 50's and early 60's.  Lots of good old tunes.  Here's one from Curly & The Jades with a nice Bo Diddley beat from 1962.

 

 

 

Eddie Fontaine's Nothing Shakin' from '58.  We need to get tutsi over here so he can relive some of his earlier memories.  LOL

 

 

Twirl those girls!  Larry Williams from '58.  I wasn't old enough to have remembered anything from the 50's but I probably heard most of it growin' up in the 60's.  The the music and the artists are all familiar.  Funny. by the late 60's when rock ruled supreme I remember the "oldies" radio stations playing 50's music that was, what, maybe 10~15 years old at the time.  That's like calling mid-2000's music "oldies."

 

 

Here's an interesting number from circa '63 or thereabouts featuring Peter Drake and his "talking" guitar.  Frampton made the talkbox especially famous on his "Do You Feel Like We Do" number.  Drake was an early user of it.

I think he's working in the desert at the moment, judging by the time he posts, but he could be in Supanburi, staying up to the wee hours, looking out for eye candy or more.

Great tune.

From 1956.  What's interesting about going back to this era is realizing much of it is the source material for so much of the rock versions to come years and years later.

 

 

Aerosmith's '74 version, which kicks arse.

 

 

Well now, I think everyone is familiar with Lloyd Price's '52 classic, Lawdy Miss Clawdy.  It's certainly stood the test of time.

 

 

And another absolute classic by Fats Domino, Blueberry Hill recorded in '56.

 

 

What's great about rediscovering that era is that while many artists have signature songs which everyone knows so well other excellent material does get play time.

 

Here's another great Fats number from '53.

 

 

And the swingin' 1972 version from New Orleans' great, late Professor Longhair.

 

 

And since I brought up Professor Longhair I must include this gem, Tipatina, from his 1978 live LP, Live On The Queen Mary.

 

 

Little Willie John's 1960 hit, I'm Shakin'.

 

 

The Blasters put out an excellent version 21 years later.

Ramadan mubarak...

The Del Vikings' Whispering Bells and Come And Go With Me, both from '57.

And Same Old Blues from '74.
