The Hot Rod Jordanaires
Jordanaires - Malibu Run (2:04)
Recently, while scrounging for 45s out in the Atlanta suburbs I found this mystifying head-scratcher by the Jordanaires. Who would've figured these tame but talented background vocalists for Rip Chords wannabes with a passion for hot rod sounds? Certainly not I. And how about the fact that this extraordinarily unlikely disc was produced by Don Law and Frank Jones, Columbia's in-house go-to guys for classic Nashville country sounds by people like Ray Price, Carl Butler and Pearl, Johnny Cash, Marty Robbins, Lefty Frizzell and others. And I have no idea who author R. Wilkins is but I wonder if he's somehow related to Bucky Wilkin (no "s" at the end) who wrote and recorded a substantial body of hot rod work in Nashville as a member of Ronny & The Daytonas.

A SCORPION by any other name...
I while back I wrote a blog about Jimmie McConville's amazing contribution to the Instrumental genre; Scorpion. It was released under his own name, and later by his band The Carnations.
Well, as an adden-dumb to that post, I present this. An outright theft of Scorpion by a band called The Dawn Beats. Not sure what year this is from, probably early 60's.
Here is the original post:
Three_Scorpions!
And here is Road_Block.
Notice the similarities...

Slippery When Wet 1958
Bruce Brown shot 8mm films of surfers when he was stationed in Hawaii back in the 1950's. After moving back to California, Dale Velzy gave him $5000 to shoot a 16mm film promoting the Velzy surf team. Brown narrates and Bud Shank provides the soundtrack. The goofy narration in these films is what makes it for me.

Jerry Lee Lewis - FULL version of "Jukebox" from the London Sessions
In one of those cases of "clueless producers completely botching incredible Jerry Lee Lewis performances" (the 60s and 70s are full of these unfortunate occurances) - here is a completely mesmerizing version of "Jukebox" from his 1973 album The London Sessions. Near as I can tell the released version, itself one of the highlights of the 2 LP set, is an almost randomly edited version of this 8 minute drunken biographical yodeling rant, with TWO great solo breaks and enough improvised asides, hollers, and hilarious band directions to fill an entire mid 60s SMASH LP. Considering the overall sloppiness of the Session recordings in general, how this recording was deemed unfit for public exposure is beyond this Ichibaner's comprehension - this + "Headstone on My Grave" would make for one of the greatest sides of uncut Jerry Lee ever.
Stop what you're doing and give yourself eight minutes to pay attention to this one (actually 15, because you want to take it twice, killer) and if ANYONE can tell me where to acquire a hard copy of this recording in better thanYoutube fidelity, please inform me in the blog posthaste. Near as I can tell it's not on the Complete London Sessions CDs or any Bear Family Box Set. The only reference I can find to its existence might be on an Argentinian Jerry Lee fansite, but then again my researches are pretty half-assed, and my half assing is not nearly as genius as Jerry Lee's.
Think about it:
