This guy was awesome. Folks over in the USA don't know but this is what we perceive as being backwoods music. The sort of thing you would hear on a Steve King movie, others (sort of). Well I did anyway.
Good post Paul, great guitarist too.

I knew it in four notes... one of my fav songs ever... rockabilly at it's finest.
has been done by everyone from rev horton heath to george thorogood...
thanks for reminding me how cool this song is and pointing out such an animated version.

Yeah he is. Didja look at his axe?
It's a Telly what's been completely wrapped in hand-tooled leather with yellow roses & scenes & my gawd it's a beautiful thing.
I saw Ray Benson a cpl years ago doing the solo thing, cuz he supposedly comes from Paw Paw, WV. He is a tall drink of water, for sure, but an excellent entertainer.

That guitar looks like a toy in his hands. He really is a great entertainer!
