Dwight "Whitey" Pullen
Sunglasses After Dark
(Cleopatra)
Whitey's "Sunglasses After Dark," the greased anthem of hep wolves everywhere, has been revisited by a wicked roster that numbers the Cramps, Meteors, and Japan's 5.6.7.8s. This fresh Cleopatra remarketing of the erstwhile Blue Cap plank-packer's killer 7"s reminds (as if any afficianado had forgotten) that not all top-drawer, first-generation Rockabilly is credited to marquee personalities.
(Note: Alabama-birthed Whitey resurfaced in the 1970s. He cut sides for Californian Ronny Weiser's Rollin' Rock, as did other Golden Agers like Charlie Feathers, Ray Campi, Johnny Carroll, and Mac Curtis.)
