The theme in question is quite close to the craziest and wildest rockabilly of the 50's. Steve Darbishire & The Yum Yum Band only recorded 5 singles, between '65 and '67. Their albums contain touches of psychedelia mixed with Elvis influences. Pete Dello, who would later be in Honeybus, composed many of the group's songs, and was a member of the band until its dissolution.
Artist: Steve Darbishire Album: Single Song: I Do Know Record company: Decca Record Release date: 1966 https://poisonivylovers.com...Carl Perkins - Lonely Heart ( Demo with femenine chords)Poison Ivy Lovers2021-12-17 | From 1963, young British Rock & Roll artists such as The Beatles, The Searchers, The Swinging Blue Jeans, Les Curtis & The All Stars or King Size Taylor, to name some of the most relevant, vindicated the great American artists , which originally created Rock & Roll, and which in some cases, such as Carl Perkins, had been forgotten in their country of origin. Carl Perkins was not one of the best known American artists on the old continent, until these groups began to include his songs in their repertoires. This resulted in these great figures of early Rock & Roll being able to tour the United Kingdom and part of Europe. Carl Perkins specifically, made his first tour of Great Britain in 1964 with Chuck Berry, in fact the English promoter wanted Gene Vincent, who was quite famous in Great Britain and had already toured there before, but it could not be and at final hired Carl Perkins. Carl was not at all convinced of this tour, because he thought it would not be successful, but Chuck Berry explained that in Europe they were true idols of youth and that they awaited them with open arms. From May 9, 1964 to November 22 of that same year, Carl Perkins made a successful tour of the UK. In this tour, Perkins had two English bands as a backing group, in the first 24 dates of the tour he was backed by The Nashville Teens and in the next 30 by The Quotations. Perkins also passed through the BBC offering a live show and an interview. The tour was a resounding success and after his last concert on the tour, Perkins was invited to a private party at the home of singer Alma Cogan, where he sat on the floor, shared stories, played guitar and sang surrounded by The Beatles. Ringo Starr asked if he could record "Honey Don't" and Perkins replied, "Sure man, go ahead and do it." The Beatles not only recorded "Honey Don't", they also covered "Matchbox" and "Everybody's Trying to Be My Baby", previously in 1963 they had already recorded two versions of "Glad All Over". As a culmination of his stay in the UK, Carl Perkins left us a magnificent single for the Brunswick label with the songs "Big Bad Blues" and "Lonely Heart". In this single, Carl Perkins is accompanied by the British The Nashville Teens and it shows the good harmony he achieved with the British groups, the two songs are magnificent. The theme of this clip is a very different demo from the song that would later be published, the rhythm is frenetic and more wild with female voices in the backing vocals and a different guitar solo, I don't know which of the two I like better.

In 1969 the band debuted with their self-titled LP, on this album they made it very clear what their influences were, the LP opened its A-side with Eddie Cochran's “C'mon Everybody”, on this album we can find versions of Sun Ra, Bruce Channel , Carla Bley and Sonny Terry and Brownie McGhee, as well as her own songs that are now classics in her repertoire, such as "Stomp", "You Can't Hide" or "Mama Get Down Those Rock And Roll Shoes". The sales were moderate without great commercial repercussion, but the band began to have some unconditional fans, among which were many celebrities from the world of music, this caused a legend to be forged around them as a cult band. Music critics didn't quite understand the group's musical perspective, they didn't understand that scruffy hippie-looking dudes were claiming '50s Rockabilly,' 30s Jazz standards or '60s Pop, all played. with the virtuosity of jazz musicians, this caused critics to call them an unclassifiable band incapable of focusing on one genre and following a style; "Hippies don't like Rockabilly and greasers don't like long hair," you could read in a magazine of the time.

Well, because they are able to play any style of American music, Jazz, Doo Wop, Rockabilly, 60's Pop, Frat Rock, Country & Western, Soul, R&B, etc ... Any version of a classic of American music that belongs to In the 30's, 40's, 50's or 60's it can pass through your hands and become something personal and magnificent, without losing its essence. Because in their albums you can find influences from Eddie Cochran, Big Joe Turner, Sun Ra, Lovin 'Spoonful, The Beach Boys, The Everly Brothers, The Beatles, The Shaggs, Thelonius Monk, Johnny Cash, Jerry Lee Lewis, The Turtles, The Coasters, 60's girls groups, Surf music, New Orleans sound, Harry Nilsson and many more and everything takes on a coherence that very few groups would achieve. Because they recorded albums with legends like Skeeter Davis or Carl Perkins. Because Link and Doug Wray gave them backing vocals on their song "Get a Grip." Because they are one of the favorite bands of Dave Edmunds, Paul McCartney, Eddie Angel, Elvis Costello, Greg Townson, Carlene Carter, Keith Richard, Bonnie Raitt, Robyn Hitchcock, Dan Baird, Hendrik Röver, The Young Fresh Fellows, Earl Palmer, John Sebastian, Skeeter Davis or Carl Perkins, and if musicians like these adore them, they will be right. And last but not least, because any song performed by them, such as this version of The Delmore Brothers, makes my day and gives me an incredible good vibes. Groups like, The Skeletons, The Morells, Ben Vaughn, Webb Wilder, Southern Culture On The Skids, Marshall Crenshaw, The Del Lords, Los Lobos or NRBQ are the sacred trinity of American Rock & Roll, groups that from the tradition of Rock & Roll Roll and Pop do what they really want, without distorting any genre.

"SPIRIT OF AUSTRALIA" Written-By – Pearce, Gilling
She took a long vacation from her Motherland, And came with her friends to check out all her favourite bands. All the guys liked to fun around, she liked to keep’em on the hook, Next day when they’d come around she wouldn’t give’em a second look.
She was the Spirit of Australia, Spirit of Australia, Oh she was blonde, and she was tanned, Was like a bombshell hit the sand, She was the Spirit of Australia.
Things really hotted up since she came ‘round here, Looked like a beauty queen, Miss Southern Hemisphere, She wore a blue swimsuit with her country’s flag upon it, And when she’d shoot the curl, they’d call her the Bondi Comet.

Dave Edmunds participated in the movie "Stardust", as musical director making and selecting the songs for the soundtrack. Edmunds also had a role in the film as a member of the group "Stray Cats" (not to be confused with the American Rockabilly band). Curious coincidence, that Edmunds was part of a fictional group called "Stray Cats" and that years later he became the producer of the Massapequa trio. "Stardust" was the second part of the movie "That'll Be the Day", both films star David Essex as the main character.

Commander Cody vindicated the music of American roots like Western Swing, Cajun, Honky Tonk, Country Rock, etc; But the most interesting thing is that at the same time that they recreated Country music classics and their own compositions in their repertoire there were R&B, Boogie, Doo Wop, Rockabilly and 50's Rock & Roll, all in equal parts, this was not surprising since the band had participated in some of his last Gene Vincent albums. In the early 70's the band was a breath of fresh air between so much brainy Rock with songs of more than 10 minutes, the Commander Cody were a quite popular band, with many performances throughout the USA, their headquarters since 1969 It was San Francisco, it had to be quite a sight to see them play “Git It” by Gene Vincent, “Midnight Shift by Buddy Holly or“ 20 Flight Rock ”by Eddie Cochran in front of a congregation of hippies.

Frayne, singer and pianist, founded his band Commander Cody And His Lost Planet Airmen in 1967, these were years when Psychedelia and Progressive Rock reigned among young Americans. Commander Cody vindicated the music of American roots like Western Swing, Cajun, Honky Tonk, Country Rock, etc; But the most interesting thing is that at the same time that they recreated Country music classics and their own compositions in their repertoire there were R&B, Boogie, Doo Wop, Rockabilly and 50's Rock & Roll, all in equal parts, this was not surprising since the band had participated in some of his last Gene Vincent albums. In the early 70's the band was a breath of fresh air between so much brainy Rock with songs of more than 10 minutes, the Commander Cody were a quite popular band, with many performances throughout the USA, their headquarters since 1969 It was San Francisco, it had to be quite a sight to see them play “Git It” by Gene Vincent, “Midnight Shift by Buddy Holly or“ 20 Flight Rock ”by Eddie Cochran in front of a congregation of hippies.

The singer and guitarist Bill Kirchen, nicknamed "The Titan of The Telecaster", who among others has collaborated and accompanied Gene Vincent, Link Wray, Nick Lowe, Elvis Costello or Marti Brom is perhaps the member of the band that has achieved the most recognition. , with a flawless solo career.

https://poisonivylovers.com...Danny & The Fat Boys (With The Clovers)- American MusicPoison Ivy Lovers2021-09-10 | Danny Gatton "the world's greatest unknown guitarist" was part of this group. Danny & The Fat Boys was a super band formed in the early 70's by Billy Hancock (bass and vocals), Danny Gatton (guitar) and Dave Elliott (drums). "American Music" was the title of his only album, and its title already makes it clear that it is a declaration of principles, said album appeared in 1975 and was released by the legendary Aladdin label. The album is a journey through all the great genres of American music, in which we find Rockabilly, Blues, Western Swing, Jazz or this great Doo Wop style song, which gives the LP its title, the song is original by Billy Hancock. and is backed by one of the best vocal groups of the 50s, The Clovers, the interpreters of "Love Potion Number 9". The song sounds like it belongs in the 1950s repertoire of The Clovers and the sound and production are excellent. If I remember correctly, I think it's Danny Gatton's only foray into Doo Wop. By the way, the guitar solo is great and the great Danny Gatton is quickly recognized.

Warren was active until recently, I think his last album is from 2019. This video is from a performance a few years ago at The Parish New Orleans on April 27, 2012, in which we can see Warren's magnificent drumming technique. This Louisiana supergroup was one of the last projects Warren was involved in. This supergroup consisted of: CC Adcock - guitar, vocals Steve Riley - accordion, vocals Warren Storm - drums, vocals 'Dickie' Landry - saxophones David Egan - keyboards, vocals Tommy McLain - voice Lil 'Buck Senegal - guitar Pat Breaux - saxophones John Troutman - steel pedal guitar Dave Ranson - bass Richard Comeaux - steel pedal guitarWarren Storm - Honky Tonk SongPoison Ivy Lovers2021-09-09 | Terrific cover of the original Mel Tillis song. Warren transforms this classic Country music into a cool Rhythm and Blues theme, New Orleans style. Without a doubt, this is one of my favorite versions of this song.

Alan Cassaro recorded this song in 1964 on the Integrity Records label, which was one of Cleveland's first independent labels. Created by Alan Cassaro and Bob Scherl. The Integrity Records label started with a couple of Alan Cassaro singles, and the song in this clip was one of them. Key garage groups from the 60s, like Missing Lynx or Human Benz (famous for their hit "Nobody But Me") went through Integrity Records. Human Benz's first LP includes several songs composed by Alan. The theme of this clip is composed by Alan Cassaro, and the accompanying band are Tom King & The Starfires, who soon after would change their name to The Outsiders and record their hit "Time Won't Let Me", a true garage classic. from the 60s. Alan is a wonderful person, very close and generous, he gave me a large part of his discography, and thanks to him I have been able to edit this clip.
