COMO, BE GONE

It's not often that a dorky photo inspires a post, but when said photo is of Gene Vincent and Wanda Jackson, I will invent a reason to post two artists that I cut my rockabilly teeth on. If your collection of sounds includes anything prior to 1960, it is incomplete without a bunch from these two. I'm talking anything pre-1960. This shit is Bach.

Wanda Jackson with Joe Maphis. Do I need to elaborate?

Here's just a few. I wanted to include the two versions of "Funnel of Love," because the original sounds so much like a song the Cramps would cover and...hey, look at that! The second version is with Poison Ivy on guitar and Lux Interior singing backing vocals (and it sounds like he's up to his old microphone-in-the-mouth tricks again). That's my kind of supergroup.

First ever documented guitar face. Watch the rhythm guitarist. Manic.

Mr. Gene Vincent should need no introduction. In fact, if you know his music, you know that the songs below are entry level stuff. Still, does it, can it, ever get old? Not tonight it doesn't.
