The latest ROOTS ROCK RADIO is archived until July 14th at the link
below. Here's the playlist:

3. CASTIN’ MY SPELL, The Johnny Otis Show

Here's the rarely heard original version (also from 1959) by the song's writers

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=PwOfRQed9aQ

8. JUNGLE ROCK, Hank Mizell

Not a big fan of this one but it can't be over stated how popular this
was on the UK rock 'n' roll circuit
and consequently how well it sold (both here in UK and across Europe)
circa 1975 when it was booted VERY big time---leading to it being
released by Charly label here and soaring to #3 (NME) on the UK chart in
April 1976

9. LOVE ME TO PIECES, Janis Martin

Recorded in January 1957 at RCA Studio in Nashville Janis' original
version of this song features backing from Chet Atkins and Dave Rich (gtrs)Grady Martin (bs)Buddy Harman (dms) Floyd Cramer (pno)

The song became the title of a CBS-TV "Studio One" production in July
that year where it was performed by thrush Jill Corey who took the song
into the Billboard Top 20

15. LET’S HAVE A PARTY, Wanda Jackson

Recorded 7 April 1958 at Capitol Studio in Hollywood features Wanda
Jackson (vcl) Buck Owens (gtr) Vernon Sandusky (gtr) Skeets McDonald
(bs) Joe Brawley (dms) Al Downing (pno)

First released on the "Wanda Jackson" Capitol LP in 1958 and as a
Capitol single in 1960 (a release that did well on the charts on both
sides of the pond)

16. MILKSHAKE MADEMOISELLE, Jerry Lee Lewis [Previously unreleased]

Four different takes of this song were recorded at Sun Studio,706 Union Ave,Memphis at January 16/17 session. Personnel : Jerry Lee Lewis
(vcl/pno) Billy Riley (gtr) J.W Brown (bs) J.M Van Eaton (dms)

This session also produced "Down The Line" and a couple of early
attempts at "Breathless"

"Milkshake Mademoiselle" first appears on record in 1975 via the French
LP "Original Super Rock"

29. WHEN WILL I BE LOVED, The Everly Brothers

I guess it's a toss up between this one and Sam Cooke's "Wonderful
World" as to the most valuable song left in the vaults of their previous
record company during the period we discuss---after the artist(s) in
question jumped ship to a more lucrative contract with another company

31. DUCK TAIL, Joe Clay

We've had discussions on here before as to the merits of the two
versions of "Duck Tail"---both the Joe Clay version here or the Rudy
"Tutti" Grayzell original both from 1956

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=GejtyaTt31o

I go with the Clay here but you be the judge!

36. RUNNING SCARED, Roy Orbison

My favorite of his Monument recordings I think

43. STICK SHIFT, The Duals

Comes in at #10 on my Favorite Instrumentals of 1961 list

1..Hideaway Freddy King - 1961
2. Last Night Mar-Keys - 1961
3. You Can’t Sit Down Philip Upchurch Combo - 1961
4. San-Ho-Zay Freddy King - 1961
5. Let There Be Drums Sandy Nelson – 1961
6..One Mint Julep Ray Charles – 1961
7. Theme From Dixie Duane Eddy – 1961
8. Surfer’s Stomp Mar-Kets – 1961
9. Jive Harp Tim Whitsett - 1961
10.Stick Shift Duals - 1961

45. TILL THEN, The Classics

For me NONE of the many versions since top the original Mills Brothers recording

46. GOODNIGHT SWEETHEART GOODNIGHT, The Spaniels

I guess the ultimate "closer" number never bettered

Very enjoyable show as always. No one commented on this one:

5. HOUSE OF LOVE, Henry Hall & The 5 Bell Aires [Previously unreleased]

Dean said it was recorded in 1958, the group is from Hartford, and the
lead singer is still alive and well. 1958 doowop is not my favorite
sound, but judged against all others I've heard from that year, this is
not bad at all. Hope you play it again, Dean, it's worth another listen.

I like the Orioles version much better. The Mills Boys are more popish
by then.

My fave version is by The Hilltoppers with a great lead and superior instrumental backing.

Definitely worth another listen or two or three....

Here is another of their unreleased tracks, secular but I hear some
gospel influence:

Come On To My Love House

Henry Hall actually made a comment for this link just 2 years ago
(as @henryhall8743). He said,
Rock a billy with rhythm and blues, the band ron and the rattle tones
with the 5 bell aires. My name should have been the writer and
arranger also on this song.

What a fucking buffoon you are. The fucking Hilltoppers are shit. And
the musical backing on that stuff is awful.

I've never done dedications on my show(s). I think they're silly.

What's silly about someone sending out a song to their spouse or someone
else they love?

Nothing. Next to the music, it was one of the things that we used to
listen for on WING. It made everyone feel like they were part of
something. And there were requests from different schools that got a
shout out.
