Merrell & The Exiles - Too Many Heartbreaks

[desperadoxl]

Great song, it does sound a little like Ricky Nelson,

[obg3leng3]

Catchy - nice rocker. Yes, there IS a hint of Ricky Nelson here! Len-G

[dowopper51]

@obg3leng3 Thank you Len!

[toddwindyhill]

Great tune to help stoke the rpm's.........fast car, why not make it move faster than anyone else dared to.......440 CU Chrysler power!!

[WallyPlumstead]

Cool! I saw this over on chezfun's channel as one she rated. A nice record!

Rhythm and vocal, snappy!

(never heard this one before, but I'm glad I did now)

Thank you Wally! If you scan down the comments you will see "Merrell Fankhauser" the artist of this tune responded when I first posted this, what a surprise it was.

I agree that this does sound like Ricky Nelson (I STILL have a crush on him). I agree with thebigfist that this is a Rock-a billy/Rock `n`roll crossover.

[chezfun]

Rock n Roll angst!!  LOVE it!!

[thedrifter50s]

Thats cool big brother

Love that song.

Dave,

[dowopper51]

Join the crowd my friend, thanks!

[thebigfist]

Super song! When it comes to Rock-a billy/Rock `n`roll crossovers,it doesn`t get any better than this!

[dowopper51]

I AGREE, It should have been a #1 hit world wide.

[PJDooWop]

I agree.. I'm not big on the teen sound, but this is great

[COGENTCOG]

Thanks for this uploading! An original 45"!!

Don't kill me, but I'm not American so I barely know Ricky Nelson, instead I have all Merrell Fankhauser's lps and CDs (about 50 records). He's such a very talented artist!

[LHUPA]

I do this too and I use WAVELAB by Steinberg for heradication of "clicks" and "pops" and Wave Corrector by Ganymede Measuring Instruments for adjusting treble. I will transfer records from the ITTUSB turntable by ION soon ant it use AUDACITY but WAVELAB is far away the best and it will work great with the ITTUSB.

[LHUPA]

Wich medium your music come from... original 45's or CD's? This music (all of your stock) is crystal clear! It seems to be brand new 45' records!... It's exact? I also remark that ALL doo-wop lovers on YouTube with their collections are also in a stunning quality as yours!!! Special phenomenon!!!!

[dowopper51]

All 45s and LPs. I use Cooledit Pro 2000 with Clickfix plugin. Then I use MP3Gain to set the volumes, it's faster to load a batch of songs in MP3Gain than to use Cooledit to do them separately. I think now there are probably plenty of programs out there that can record and clean the vinyl if you did a net search. Cooledit & Clickfix happen to be my favorites. Whenever I post a song without the label or an LP jacket and use cars instead as my pics that means I don't have the record, just the MP3

[grandprix63]

Hey Merrell! You've got a Swedish fan as well. Great song, did you ever do any more cuts in this style?

[manfrommu]

Yes ,the 1967 Fapardokly LP has many songs in the same style as "Too Many Heartbreaks".
