***** 2008 *****

Hope it's a GREAT year for everyone!

For me, I never got into the major end-of-year party thing.....



Eddie Cleary-I Don't Care

Here's a cool fuzzed out number from northern California. Released in 1966. This was the band's 2nd single.

The Rob Roys-Do You Girl

<><><><>HAPPY HOLIDAYS TO ALL !!! <><><><>






Tommy Lee & The Orbits-Jingle Rock

Keeping the spirit going with the late Cordell Jackson's offering....


Cordell Jackson-BeBopper's Christmas

Well..I guess it's that time of the year again...

The Sonics-Don't Believe In Christmas

Eddie Bond can sure get it! Some classic rockabilly. Check out his page on the Rockabilly Hall of Fame web site HERE

Eddie Bond And His Stompers-Slip, Slip, Slippin' In

R.I.P. Ike Turner. Mainly known for his work with Tina...but there was more.... His band worked on Jackie Brenston's "Rocket 88" which is considered by many to be the first rock n' roll record.




Jackie Brenston & His Delta Cats-Rocket 88

Here's a later (early 1960s) release by Ike:

Ike Turner-Takin' Back My Name

With the cold/rainy weather here in the desert... sittin' around with a guitar in hand sounds like a cool idea....


Carl Miller-Rhythm Guitar

Been listening to some cool western swing provided by the late Merrill Moore. Check out the pounding of the keys. Sounds like they had a real blast recording!

Get more info on Merrill from The Rockabilly Hall of Fame site HERE


Merrill Moore-Hard Top Race

Merrill Moore-Rock-Rockola

FRIDAY BONUS CUT.....a taste of blues...Merrill style!!!!!!
Merrill Moore-Moore Blues

Flipping through a box of old 45s...I stumbled across this gem by Sonny Terry on the JOSIE label. Cool harmonica based sides. It's these kind of finds that keep me searchin' for new and exciting vintage sounds!

Sonny Terry-Fast Freight Blues

Sonny Terry-Dangerous Woman

When pressed for something to post....one can ALWAYS count on 706 Union Street for a sure-fire winner. Here's SUN single 240

Jack Earls-Slow Down

Jack Earls-A Fool For Lovin' You
