FENDERMEN Mule Skinner Blues...plus (LP, 180g Vinyl)

(Beat Rocket) 17 tracks - original sealed first pressing 

“Mule Skinner Blues” captures The Fendermen at their most distinctive: raw, stripped-down and unmistakably rooted in early American rockabilly. Formed in the late 1950s by Jim Sundquist and Phil Humphrey, the duo scored their breakthrough in 1960 with their version of Jimmie Rodgers’ “Mule Skinner Blues”. The single reached No. 5 on the Billboard Hot 100 and No. 2 in Canada. The BeatRocket LP BR 116, released in 2000, expands the classic repertoire into a 17-track collection featuring “Mule Skinner Blues”, “Torture”, “Beach Party”, “Bertha Lou”, “Don't You Just Know It”, “Heartbreakin' Special”, “Jack Of Diamonds”, “High Noon”, “Koo-Koo” and “Caravan”. It also includes “Wolfman”, “Everglades” and alternate takes of “Mule Skinner Blues” and “Torture”. A rewarding vinyl choice for collectors of rockabilly, rock’n’roll and early instrumental sounds.
