Back in the Day, 1982

Jimmy and the Mustangs

Hey Little Girl

(Vanity)



Though a dapper Rockabilly firecracker of above-usual gifts, Jimmy Silver (né Haddox) also knew well related night-joint strains of senior vintage; his exhumations of Wynonie Harris, Baker Knight, and Louis Jordan shouters attested to diverse appreciation. He had furious chops that cashed the check his hepcat finery wrote. 

Fellow Californian stage-demolisher Jerry Sikorski tore at strings in spectacular manners (as he previously had with Ray Campi, and went on to do with American Patrol). Associated players stormed forward with the leanness and vigor of battle-ready recruits to a jukebox campaign. 

Hey Little Girl was the group's virgin wax. Subsequent platters boasted varied personnel, and emphasized a Rockabilly/Punk amalgam. 

Recommended: "Bring My Cadillac Back," "Pretty Baby," "Lovin' Machine," "I Want You to Be My Baby," "Let's Dance," "Red Hot Rockin' Blues," "You Cheated, You Lied," "Bloodshot Eyes"

Videos: "Pretty Baby"   "I Want You to Be My Baby"   "Let's Dance"
