| Here's one of Keb Darge's favourite hard-to-find rockabilly gems."Little Bit Lonesome" cut by Charles Ross on Clay-Ro Records. |
Writes Keb Darge...
"My only real claim to fame on the rockabilly scene and the main reason I sold some nice garage punk recently. Just over thirty years ago I was chatting with Lew Stanley from North Carolina about some soul and funk records I was buying off him when he said “Oh Keb, you like rockabilly don’t you ? I’ve found one that nobody seems to know”. He then played this to me and just after the opening bars I said yes I’ll have it please. I then played it to all the rockabilly collecting elite back in London and right enough none of them had heard of it before. I played it out for about a year, but sadly rockabilly did not go down well at the nights I was doing back then, so when Barney Koumis offered me a handsome four figure sum for it I accepted. Been kicking myself ever since, but now it’s back home, Hoooorah !!!"
