Women can rock, too. Don’t misunderstand me. But there’s something about a bunch of men going APE. SHIT. like this that makes my knees melt. Here is Sun Records artist Sonny Burgess – whose big Sun hit was “Red-Headed Woman” (you probably know it), in the current-ish day playing with one of the most kick-ass bands I’ve ever heard. Macho creative Southern DUDES. There’s something about those Southern boys, with their hair and their slick duds and their innocent aggression and their talent. Pitter-pat.
That performance screams out of the tiny Youtube screen. The piano player alone!
Sonny Burgess is one of the only guys “left” from those long-ago Sun Records days – outside of Jerry Lee Lewis.
The Blasters’ three early 80’s LPs were all awesome. I’m happy to see they’re still bringing it. Great stuff!
Wow, Jeff – had no idea – I am totally going to check them out – they are amazing.
Here’s my favorite song of theirs: http://youtu.be/NgPk5REcTDk
And on their last album, they even had a couple of songs with the Jordanaires singing backup!
Wow!!
