Duane Eddy Steps Up To The Mic...And Sings?

Duane Eddy  -  Guitar Star

I don't know how many records Duane Eddy sang on, but here's the only one I have, the fantastic Guitar Star.  I've always imagined (okay, fantasized) that if the Untamed Youth got back into the studio to record another album, that this would be a can't-miss candidate for inclusion.  Just imagine Mace huffing out the all the grumpy old guy lines like "Gee, I wish someone would take his guitar away!" I swear they'd sell at least a couple hundred copies!

How 'Bout Some Ribs, Pretty Lady?

Bluesman Jimmy Rushing wasn't hogging the ribs.  As you can see from this 1955 JET photo, he was perfectly willy to share with exotic dancer Chinky Grimes.  Chinky, incidentally, was married to R&B guitarist and bandleader Tiny Grimes.

That Lucky Old Sun

One of the Killer's sublime 50s tracks that went unreleased until the 70s.
