Back In the Day: 1979

Jimmie Lee Maslon

Salacious Rockabilly Cat

(Rollin' Rock Records)




Some of these tracks were put to tape when Jimmie Lee was but a lad of fifteen summers. Even then, he was a raucous stalwart of Ronny Weiser's storied Rollin' Rock stable, an assemblage that included Gene Vincent, Colin Winski, Ray Campi, and Jerry Sikorski. In fact, Ray (and Rip Masters) are featured players on this, a rough-hewn platform for febrile rockabilly mindful of its country blood.

1997 saw an expanded reissue from HMG/Hightone

Recommended: "That Gal's Wicked," "Bip Bop Boom," "Back In My Bed," "3-D Daddy," "True Fine Baby," "Love Train," "I Am What I Am," "Your Wildcat Ways"
