The great Hilton Valentine assumed room temperature this week in R&R brothers and sisters.....A sad bit of news to be sure.
I met Hilton Valentine at a record show in Connecticut a few years ago and purchased a few 45's from him. We got to discuss some of his guitars, amps, influences, etc. I asked him where he got the idea for the guitar into on "Baby let me take you home"......he laughed and told me from Jimmy Page who played guitar on Hoagy Lands 45 rpm the same year. What? Where can I get a copy? Hilton had one for sale so after a short negotiation, I had the original in my hand...What? The Bert Berns penned Hoagy 45 wasn't the original? No Berns got it from Dylan [Baby, Let me follow you down] who got it from a traditional folk song....you can't make this stuff up! 
So the incredible guitar intro is Page according to Hilton but Wikipedia has Eric Gale as the guitarist...? Jimmy Page is one of the funkiest guitarists ever! His timing on the Yardbirds stuff and especially Zeppelin are outrageous.
I can't figure out the intro no matter who's playing it! 
Dig it!.....

Okay...I'm somewhat settled into the new digs when we get a Nor'Easter which brought over 2 feet of snow! So you know it's always back aching time. My snowblower decided to go on strike by starting and pulling in the white  s**t but not tossin' any of it...Not to worry. After an extensive search,  I found some ratchets, open-end wrenches and fixed the culprit! 

Back to the show!

Welcome to the first DR&R Show of the new year! 2012....Holy S**t!

We'll start out with the Usual Suspects and then Kai Ray takes center stage with a classic DR&R wiggler: Jungle Talk [I want some of that]. The original release was on Lodestar 1961 but we'll have to settle with my 45 rpm on Bright Star [same year].

For the 1st set we hand the mic off to Jimmy Reed - I'm goin' upside your head [Vee Jay 1964] a sure candidate for misogynist platter of the '60s...sorry Jagger but "Under My Thumb" gets 2nd billing to the musings of Mr. Reed! Albert Collins turns up the heat with "Whatcha Say" a pounder of gigantic proportions! [Imperial 1968]. Ronnie Hawkins asks the age-old lovers question: "Who do you love?" which got it's waxing on Roulette in 1963...and the author of WDYLOve, Bo Diddley, follows up with all apologies: Dearest Darlin' which appeared on a Checker 45 in 1958 [a great year for music!].

Purging out the demon for the start of the 2nd set with a killer garage waxing from the Hangmen on Monument 1966...quintessential garage! Following up with a west coast ditty by The Jewels on Imperial "Natural natural ditty" 1955. And just to prove that all music is just music we spin the opening cut from Brisbane's The Saints 1st LP - "I'm Stranded".  We found an Aussie pressing of their first 2 pounding punk LP's last year! For my money, The Saints were opening the punk door for EVERYONE! From Australia to Morris County, NJ with a band [that changed their name from The Pseudo-Realists to Good Reason for no good reason] with a song that should've been blasting on every car radio "Hold on to me". A song that's near and dear to my heart as this was the last recordings of my band in the '90s. DRR fave Mark Oliver Everett aka The Eels from a release that I didn't pick up until recently "End Times" from 2010.

Last set of the show:  The Queen of Rock-a-billy Wanda Jackson cooks up a vampy meal with Funnel of Love on the Capitol label from 1961. And speaking of vamps: Billie Holiday w/ the Teddy Wilson Orchestra swings like 60 from 1941 on Columbia Records - Miss Brown to you. You betcha! Jethro Tull informs us that "It's a new day yesterday" while the Gang of Four revisits one of their pounders "Naturals no in it"....

Over and Out with the Braz Gonsalves 7.....Raga Rock on Odeon Records 1970....I've had this one for a while and this is its first airing....
