Glen Glenn

Last night we had the opportunity to see Rockabilly legend Glen Glenn perform at a free concert at Heritage Park in La Verne, CA. Glen only sang a couple songs near the end of the show, but he was a lot of fun! When he said he had free photos of his smiling face for the young girls in the audience, my wife ran down and got one and he signed it for her.

We also picked up a really cool book about Elvis that guitarist Alan Clark was selling. Lots of rare photos and news clippings. Alan runs The Alan Clark Archives and has other collectible books for sale. Fun story about Carl Perkins in his biography. Check it out if you get a chance or maybe pick up a book or two. More info about Glen Glenn can be found here.

Here's an original Glen Glenn recording from 1958. Not bad for a high school dropout.

REVEVEREND ORGANDRUM

I gotta tell ya - I LOVE the Reverend Horton Heat. He's my fave, and every year, I go see him play, with dedication to the task, creativity in the set, and cool radiating off him like the stink waves on a cartoon cat's ass. Jimbo, too!

Brian Setzer can shove his stilted view of rockabilly up his precious little swing-dancing-at-Christmas-ass. *puke*

Now, the Rev has put together this new album of hits with two friends that have formidable accomplishments in the fields of drumming and organ playing. A little shift to the left that provides friggin' deliciousness of the first order.

Next, I want say I fucking HATE MySpace - it's shit for the clueless, on a platter of stupidity. UnfortunatEly, it's also a valuable tool for musicians trying to seduce the half-witted Rubes into tasting their wares.

HAVING SAID THAT, the Rev has got a MySpace for the entity known as Reverend Organdrum, this collaboration that showcases not only his, but his organ player's and drummer's skills as well. So I linked it because it's got cuts. I also am linking to his Yep Roc Records page as well as his OFFICIAL web page to allow you to listen to some other cuts as well as gain insights.

"A Shot In the Dark" "Ain't That a Kick In the Head" "Time is Tight" and "route 66" are all there.

All I can say is..............fuck.

With Much Love,

Yeah, I'm gushing......jealous?

Go listen, saddle pals.
