    These dudes fully capture the 1950's version of "cool." It all fits. The shoes, the oversize sports coat, the rockin' drummer, the Berry guitar, the funkster on harp, love every note of it.

  • @larrynealwaxmuseum

    Very good, very good. When I saw the title of the song and then after hearing the lyrics of the song, it reminded me of the Bobby Freeman record out of 1958 on Josie Records, BETTY LOU GOT HER A NEW PAIR OF SHOES. The name of the group somewhat reminds me of the mid fifties group, the Cadillacs. Good Post!
