Country Bop On ABC-PARAMOUNT

(I've Got) The Texas Blues

Found this one lying around in a box I've had for years. This is a pretty good uptempo country bop/western swing record on ABC-PARAMOUNT. I don't really see too much country music on the label other than George Hamilton. I was suprised to hear it be so good. Take a listen!

Louie Meyers & The Aces

Just Whaling

Bluesy

Woah! Found this killer blues harp instrumental in Southeast Illinois on my way to Bloomington, IN! Rare Chicago blues label ABCO with other releases by Arbee Stidham and Freddie Hall. When I cued up this piece of wax I was blown away to hear what I thought was Little Walter. Louie Meyers was Little Walter's guitar player and I assume he picked up a big harp playing influence on him. Both sides are killer. I have also found out that Fred Below plays drums on this cut. Another fantastic 50's Chicago blues record. DIG!

Puddle Jumper.....

Puddle Jumper

Junked this 3 months ago. "Puddle Jumper" is a great rockabilly/R&B tittyshaker instro. Great guitar and sax give it that greasy sound. I dropped the needle on it and I knew I had to have it. Ember is a hard label for me to turn up. I usually only see the The Silhouettes or The Five Satins, with that being said I'm gonna pick up anything out of the ordinary. I don't have any information on Davey Dee and The Mudcats, so if any of you readers and listeners have any then please send it my way. Give this a spin. DIG!

The Original Big Guitar!

Big Guitar

I acquired this from a friend of mine in the last few months. I believe this is the original version of "Big Guitar", like Owen Bradley's. I like this version better. I'm not sure if this record is hard to find but I've never come across one in wild. Just another great record on the DOT label. Take a listen!
