Ohio Gospel Country Bop

Talk About The Good Times

The Lord Will Make A Way

Two hot gospel bop sides from Lloyd Farley. I found this record in Memphis last fall. I believe he or the label Revelators is from Columbus, Ohio though I am not certain. He could possibly be from West Virginia. Two great finger pickin sides on this ep. These records sure are hard to find. Whenever I see great looking gospel labels like this they usually turn out to be turds. This is a winner!

Rock N Roll Deacon

Rock And Roll Deacon

One of my most prized possessions that I had to let go of. This St. Louis holy grail black rocker 45 by Screamin' Joe Neal. Took me a while to track down a copy. MEGA RARE! I believe it was recorded at Premier Stuidos. Many of the other releases on the label that I have come across have been Rite pressed gospel records by various artists, one being The Bronner Brothers. Not much else to say about this masterpiece. DIG IT!

Southwest MO Trip 4/29/12

Yesterday I tagged along on a trip down to southwest MO as far as Joplin about 8 miles from the OKLA/MO border. I junked a few records making stops in Carthage, Joplin and Springfield. I picked up a few interesting platters. The most notable being Andy Wilson-My Love, My Love on BULLSEYE.....quite a good rocker! Marvin Rainwater-Tough Top Cat which is a cool novelty country rocker on WARWICK. Jeff Allen-That'll Be The Daddy, is a corny pop rocker cover of the Buddy Holly classic feat. Barney Kessel on UK RCA. The Deltones feat. The Gypsy-Bow Legged Annie, a cool black rocker in beat condition on JUBILEE. Ray Couch-Teardrop Valley is an early 60's country ballad with cool echo and tremolo drenched guitar on the RAYCO label. All and all it was a pretty good trip. Found a few other records that are for resale such as, Hawkshaw Hawkins-Car Hoppin' Mama and Jean Shepard-Jeporady. Can't wait to get back down to southwest MO! Clips to come soon!

Ohio Country Bop From Walter Scott

I'm Walking Out

This is a recent acqusition to my country bop collection. I just love this sound. This is one of the many great records on the Hamilton, Ohio Ruby label. There are several country boppers and rockabillies on this label such as: Della Hicks, Emery Blades, Stan Johnson and Hoyt Webb to name a few. Enjoy this spin, "I'm Walking Out".

Paul New & The Crew

She's A Woman

I just picked up this rocker by Paul New & The Crew just a week ago from a friend. Another "Uncle" Buck Lipe produced single on the Belleville, Ill Marlo label. I don't know anything about this group, I think this is their only single. 

The Bad Man

The Bad Man

I found this Ike & Tina Turner produced record earlier this month in a small junk shop in Muskogee, Okla while on tour. I normally wouldn't buy a record like this, but I did since it is Ike Turner involved. I cued this one up and I was surprised. This is a great early 60's rhythm n blues track. 

Bobcat: A Twin Guitar Instro!

Bobcat

Here's the first record I've seen on Trophy besides Bill Taylor & The Cyclones. This cut called "Bobcat" is a fantastic twin guitar western swing instrumental. It is fantastic and it really reminds of Jimmy Rivers & The Cherokees. Take it for a spin!
