    The latest "Roots Rock Radio" is now archived until January 19th at the
    link below. Here's the playlist:

    1. RUMBLE, Link Wray

    One of the real great 50's instrumentals. Here where it sits on my 1958 instrumentals list

    1. Rebel Rouser Duane Eddy
    2. Rumble Link Wray
    3. Tequila Champs
    4. Ramrod Duane Eddy
    5. Manhattan Spiritual Reg Owen
    6. Guitar Boogie Shuffle Virtues
    7. Rock Bottom Little Walter
    8. Peter Gunn Henry Mancini
    9. Cannon Ball Duane Eddy
    10. Rockhouse Ray Charles

    2. DON’T YOU JUST KNOW IT, Huey “Piano” Smith & The Clowns

    California covers New Orleans' Huey with a pretty decent version on
    Specialty
    https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=fDQpXRW9c-k

    3. PUMPIN’ PIANO ROCK, Jerry Lee Lewis

    From a session in February 1957 where Jerry lays down both versions of
    "It'll Be Me" (the single and the better alternate LP version) plus his
    huge "Whole Lot Of Shakin' Going On",several takes of "Ole Pal Of
    Yesterday",an early try at "You Win Again","Love Letters In The Sand"
    and a couple of shots at "Little Green Valley". Backing as usual
    features Jimmy Van Eaton and Roland Janes

    5. THREE COOL CATS, The Coasters

    Here's a British try at the song that doesn't *quite* come up to
    Coasters standard (!) featuring Cliff Richard,Marty Wilde and Dickie
    Pride from the TV show "Oh Boy!"

    https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=HOrsFuij5xg

    6. DEACON DAN TUCKER, Jesse Belvin

    Not sure who the "real" Dan Tucker was but reminds me of "Go Dan Tucker"
    by Little Billy Earl on Goldband that used to sell real well for us back
    when

    https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=40tSGIROj70

    16. BABY LOVES HIM, Wanda Jackson

    Always loved this one. Up there with her very best

    17. NO-GOOD LOVER, Mickey & Sylvia

    I liked this one much better than their big "Love Is Strange" hit as
    witnessed
    by their placings in the "20 Fave Duets - 1956" post from a little while
    back

    6. NO GOOD LOVER – MICKEY & SYLVIA >>https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=z1s8VTiBy2c

    Their first on the Groove label several months before “Love Is Strange” >>(I like this one better too 😊)

    12. LOVE IS STRANGE – MICKEY & SYLVIA >>https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=C5HRwX7AH34

    Mickey Baker & Sylvia Vanderpool on a Bo Diddley penned song that was a
    #11 hit BBpop and #1 BBr&b

    19. HI-HEEL SNEAKERS, Tommy Tucker

    And answered s o effectively here by the recently deceased (and much
    missed) Miss Sugar Pie De Santo

    https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=U_ig4b1OvCQ

    22. RUNAROUND SUE, Dion

    Over here Dion scored a #11 hit with this memorable number--but had to
    suffer a limp UK cover version from local lad Doug Sheldon that also
    charted thus depriving Dion of a much bigger UK hit (maybe rivalling the
    #1 he achieved back home)

    https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=l2LPHAZ_YJc

    23. WITHOUT LOVE (There Is Nothing), Clyde McPhatter

    Here's a couple of later versions of this song that I like a lot

    From 1964 - Irma Thomas
    https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=prFHbrRjanw

    From 1967 - Oscar Toney Jr
    https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=YOaO65itQiw

    28. OH! BUT SHE DID, The El Capris

    Originally by The Opals in 1954 (The El Capris is from 1956).

    https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=X9BOeD7ekYM

    30. THE SHOOP SHOOP SONG (It’s in His Kidd), Betty Everett

    Original version by Ms Merry Clayton in 1963 on Capitol as "It's In His
    Kiss"

    https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=iGjXWzTxti4

    34. ALL NIGHT LONG, Rusty Bryant

    This will feature in my 1953 20 Fave Instrumentals post (coming shortly)
    as "Nite Train" as it originally appeared on the Carolyn label

    36. CAN’T HELP LOVING THAT GIRL OF MINE, The Hide-a-Ways

    Readers will probably know I'm a sucker for good show tunes with a very
    high regard for one of the very best songs from Kern's immortal "Show Boat"--dubbed in the MGM movie for Ava Gardner's rendition but
    unneccessarily IMO since in the much later movie compilation "Thats Entertainment III" we hear the UNDUBBED version (in Ava's own
    voice)---and I for one think the gal does well

    45. A LOVELY WAY TO SPEND AN EVENING, The Angels

    Beautiful number introduced by Sinatra in his 1943 movie "Higher And
    Higher" and a great version on TV later by Nat "King" Cole too. Plus The
    Angels version here ain't too shabby either! :)

    How about playing the Opals' version next time?

    I never heard this one before. I think it's better than "Motorcycle"!

    Also never heard "Pumping Piano Rock" by JLL before. Amazing what they
    didn't see fit to release.

    Did not know this one. Jerry Lee certainly has more good unissued
    recordings from the 50s than anybody.

    You can thank Bear Family and its amazing boxed sets for the
    availability of this material.

    I think the Jerry Lee things were out long before the Bear Family boxes.
    Lots of Sun and Charly albums contained those things in the 1970s.

    I think that "Pumpin' Piano Rock" was first released on this LP from
    Japan.
