Bo Diddley

suffered a stroke and has been hospitalized. Last I heard he was doing okay... not sure if he'll play again. Created the coolest beat tho...

Suprised to find this one in the vault.... a fav of mine as done later by the New York Dolls.

Johnny Powers hailed from Michigan and kicked out some hot rockabilly in the '50s. To this day, he still makes the noise.

The Emperor's on the SABRE record label circa 1965. I can't find alot of info on this one, but it has appeared on several recent comps. Another tough find!

A new focus..... I've decided to keep the posts limited to the stuff from the '50s & '60s that rattle my ears. The more obscure, rockin', harder to find gems. This will include, rockabilly , flat-out rockers, surf, garage , psych and..... No more hodge-podge posts. Most of my listening comes from this era anyway. Besides, modern day punk & alternative was built on these foundations. If I have info on a selection, I will share it.

So, let's start out with a side from the very first 45rpm by The Electric Prunes circa 1966...
