Jimmie Lloyd (Jimmy Logsdon) - You're Gone Baby

[NewOceanRocketry]

marylee246, I'm sure you recall the use of "I've Got A Rocket In My Pocket" for the Gordon Cooper introductory scene in "The Right Stuff." It is one of my all time favorite songs and so appropos for Gordo's entrance into the film. Your Daddy was awesome and will always be missed. Hope you are well and happy. - Joe in Knoxville

My Father was Jimmy Logsdon. I do remember when I was very young he wrote Hank Williams sings the Blues no more. It was the morning that my Dad found out about his death. He is greatly missed.

Thanks for the comment, and a pleasure to meet you marylee. Your father left a great musical legacy.

The pride of Panther, Ky. Sure miss the ole boy, worked with him around Cincinnati in the late 60's and early 70's at WZIP and WCLU. Jimmy started singing in Louisville with his sisters in the early 50's where heworked at WKLO before coming to WCKY to do the ole Jamboree. He cut some minor hits for Decca "The Death of Hank Williams" and also King records including "Truck driving daddy"

Little James L, RIP

Many thanks for the info, I didn't know any of that.

Although I am sure that Grady Martin plays lead guitar on "Where The Rio De Rosa Flows", the lead guitar on this sounds more like Hank Garland, but I wouldn't want to place a bet on it.

Got any recordings with Howard Whited on guitar?

[SirBasildeBrush]

I don't know enough about these recordings to know whether Mr Whited is playing. If he is, he's one helluva guitar player. One of the best guitar-driven songs know.

It would be real nice to have his classic "Rocket In My Pocket". That's one helluva rocker. I was on you tube before the 'great purge', that swept like a swarm of locusts decimating many good video savings for me and others.

[bellgardens53]

What can I say except classic Rockn'Roller/Rabilly from the sweet '50s. OMG great gtr!!!

[SirBasildeBrush]

Thanks for the comment. It's up there with Elvis' "Little Sister" for guitar to die for.

[MrCleanRunner2]

It great! Who's playing guitar?

[jarirusi]

Thomas Grady Martin plays lead guitar, Hank Garland plays rhythm.

@jarirusi

Wouldn't you know! Whenever I hear a really hot guitar on a 50s rockabilly record, it always turns out to be Grady Martin! :) What a legend. And what a dream team.

[jarirusi]

@MrCleanRunner2 Seems to go that way :)

[gangerollo]

[SirBasildeBrush]

An absolute powerhouse of a song. That lead guitar, that bass! And Mr Lloyd!

[CottonJohnson]
