With songs like this, I still can hear mothers and fathers shouting,Turn That Noise downnnnn...killer cut for 54" even man haven't been to the moon yet...😮
An addictive guitarist. I listen to it many times. It seems like a miracle to listen to a song made entirely of live sound. The riffs are good, the saxophones are good, and I always think it's new.
That guitar riffing sounds like it was heavily influential on Dick Dale, Lonnie Mack, and Jimi Hendrix, among others. Has a super drippy reverb sound I'm certain influenced a lot of the Surf Rock acts that came after in the early 1960's.
According to Rick James in his autobiography “Glow”, Hendrix memorized this and it’s where he got the idea to combine distortion with highly recognizable riffs :)) James also mentions Donald Duck Dunn in the book but not with regards to this (I’m not sure if we’re talking about the same musician?). As a personal note I do know that there was already distortion happening in the rockabilly and Cajun rock scene. One of the main takeaways from Glow is that all acts and scenes tend to have some overlap and influence each other due to great mutual admiration. His recollections of learning melodic guitar from Neil Young while schooling Neil about R&B in Toronto are fantastic. He has similar stories about working with Allman in Miami and Stephen Stills/Neil Young in LA. There’s a little bit of Rick all over Rock n Roll history, and a little bit of Rock all over Rick. I would think that’s what took place here too. :))

1954? Wow! He sounds way ahead of his time.
Back to the future….‘your kids are gonna love it.’
Johnny was ahead of his time. He's playing some cool T. Bone Walker licks on a Fender Stratocaster.

One of Frank Zappa's favorite guitarists!
Dude was RIPPIN!
Now that is wild. Wonder what the old folks thought?? Bet they got the idea when someone kicked the Fender Twin. . .
Always one of my favorites of all time. Severely underrated. Check out the SRV outro lick ("Pride and Joy")-SRV only copied from the best.
Wow!
you would hard pressed to find something else quite like this in 19- freakin'-54 ~
Amen! There was nothing else like Space Guitar back then.
R E V E R B E R A T I O N 😎
This could be the first psych record.
But most likely no acid involved…
@@anothersettlementneedsyour9628doesn’t really matter
WOW-WEE ✝️
Nasty
1:57 thats the " Stevie Ray Vaughan Lick" i suppose the lick got the wrong name ..
So odd hearing and realizing the horns date this song. The guitar rifts are pretty timeless.
