Yes, i have seen the programme from Hultsfreds Hayride and noticed that you were playing. Regretably i will not be able to go there... Will be on vacation with the family here in Denmark.

Man, that is so flipping great for JD. Having learned of him here through your post, Flat-Top, I've been a huge fan since. And it's just cool seeing him do so well, he deserves every bit of it.

Doing a little more internet research on this...it seems that it may not be Alice at all on that track. It may actually be Gene Vincent(!), who was backed by Alice's band in his later years!

I'm fairly certain it's not Alice Cooper's voice on that track. He has a very distinctive vocal.

Exactly! This song and one the in the same style have appeared on Alice bootlegs for years apparently with no official explaination.

Somebody having a laugh, maybe.... or possibly the label deliberately let this out among some Alice stuff as a way of tracing a bootlegger?

That JD clip really has everything I love in one place!

It reminded me of this great moment from 20 years ago:
The Honeydrippers on Saturday Night Live

Maybe to country for some of you though?

I LOVE Rockabilly. I love the music and the subculture and the vintage '50s clothing associated with Rockabilly.
I think Rockabilly fits nicely somewhere in that part of the '50s which was forward looking, sleek car driving, futuristic dreaming....If it ever existed it was an ideal era.

Looks like Mando Dorame( from Royal Crown Revue and Seabass' cousin) is in the horn section wearing a Mr Freedom casquette!

Royal Crown Revue: I haven't heard that name in quite some time. Actually, I was talking about them and the Amazing Royal Crowns recently and their once upon a time legal battles. Sure wish RCR would put out a few more albums. Sadly, it seems as if many of rockabilly bigger name acts of the last twenty years have slowed down in touring and in releasing new music.

We (Harry & Edna on the Wireless) had a little venture from our beloved 1940's postal district to find out what life is like in the 1950s with the help of our rockablily friends "The Broadway Twisters"
