(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.

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.
