(Both Palms and Jamie recordings are by the same band, who started out as Don & Jer & the Screamers.) Great versions of both songs.

The Jamie was also pressed by Monarch so some will turn up with Delta pressing info in the dead wax.

SJW-No. # - The Great Society (Hypo Music)

DIXIE 1109

Charlotte, NC

No idea who Ski King is. Kind of reminds me of a milder Johnny Rebel. Sounds to me he's pretty anti government handouts - so I imagine if he's still alive and kicking he may not have been too pleased with what is called "Obamacare" (Although it should be called Milt-Romney-Care as he created it before Obama.)

CENLA 222

CHUCK RIVERS

58/59

CR-222-A - All alone at night (Cenla Music)

CR-222-B - Nobody else will do (Cenla Music)

CENLA 222

LA

Description when listed on ebay:

"This ultra-rare rockabilly 45rpm is by an obscure singer named Chuck Rivers. He sings "All Alone At Night" backed by a ballad "Nobody Else Will Do", It was released in 1959 on Cenla records CR-222. The rockabilly side is raw and is pure rockabilly with fantastic guitar licks. The flip is equally raw and is a hot ballad also with some fine guitar work."

Not so sure about the word "Ultra Rare". Rare for sure, but there were quite a few copies floating about awhile back. Do agree with the musical descrition though.
