If you were somehow able to combine the humorous R&B vocal style of the Coasters with some wicked Lowman Pauling style guitar, you'd end up with this incredible little slice of R&B perfection.

Teenage primitivism at it's best. These guys can barely play their instruments, but still manage to get it so right. Better than Led Zeppelin.

Found this little baby in a junk shop in Baton Rouge for fifty cents! Signed!

Originally released in 1957 credited to Thunderwords, this record was re-released in 1963 with the label credit you see here. Not to be confused with Rockin' Sidney.
Nice Louisiana rockabilly sounds. This record demonstrates the correct way to play an electric guitar.
