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!

Come Back Baby.......Great R&B From Capitol

Come Back Baby

Here's an odd one I just picked up while junkin' my friend Tony's basement. I never really knew there was much R&B on capitol besides: Johnny Otis, T-Bone Walker, Sugar Chile Robinson and infamous R&B pounder ESQUERITA! I took a chance on this record, someone wrote "piano blues w/ sexy sax & blues guitar" on the sleeve......I was sold. Took this platter for a spin and I was surprised, not a little bad jump number. Usually when I see records like this they turn out to be bad Bill Haley wannabes. Great guitar on this track and Pepper Neely on vocals really reminds me of Wynonie Harris. Whaddya think?
