Cliff Gallup was one of the greatest if not the greatest rockabilly guitarists of all time. I think one of his greatest solos is on B-I-Bickey Bi,Bo- Bo-Go. I think it sucks that he wasn't in Rolling Stones greatest guitar players issue. They did have Link Wray in the issue though which was cool.Thanks for posting this.
i was given a music challenge the other evening, and was played a song (not this one) and they said who sings this record, and because of the vocals, i would have said cliff richard, and that is what i said, but now i know differently because of the caption 2 below. music works in mysterious ways xx
HEY KIDS! Try turnin,off the fuzz and all the other pedals for a minute, try some heavy gauge strings, learn somethin' about a back beat, and some 6th, 7th, and 9th chords. See if any real soul or feel creeps in to your playing, It might open up some possibilities you hadn't thought about before. If not, go back to what you were dion' before, but at least you tried. Understand where it came from, and move ahead with more conviction.
Gene and Cliff were a musical combination made in Rock'n'Roll heaven. I also loved the sound of Paul Burlison with Johnny Burnette, Scotty with Elvis (as well as James Burton who's work with Dale Hawkins, Ricky Nelson and many others is incredible. Oh how I wish there was video footage of Cliff Gallup with Gene Vincent from 1956. Thanks for posting this song.
Cliff was a dream Guitar Player I don't think anyone will ever be like him He played on 34 cuts and all these years later guitarists are still discovering him Thanks Cliff
I have to agree that Cliff was a true innovator and played some monster rockabilly riffs. He was definitely one of the best. He had a Guitar Player interview in the early Eighties; but, we lost him soon after. Gene was all grades of awesome. I'm right sure Elvis saw Gene perform (probably with his leg brace) just before he did his(Elvis') "wobbly knee dance" onstage and noticed the crowd reaction to it.

just a little aside comment we have the advantage of looking back and seeing what others were playing guys like cliff had only their instincts and talent and oh my cliff had talent ask jeff beck about cliff gallup and gene vincent they gave us all a path to travel rock and roll
xoxoxoxoxo many people have tried to copy Mr Gallup and to my knowledge none have succeded, but some are near..but not quite there.... his rifts are the best in my opinion..but thats only mine...and thankyou for all your comments weather you like or dislike.. me.. i love mr gallup!! xoxoxoox
steve vi, joe sartini, and that swedish guy who's name cant be pronounced all need to go jump in a lake. cliff gallop is what a great guitarist sounds like. you dont need 10,000 notes and endless scale runs to sound great. go cliff!!!
wow, I must say. This is just one of the overall coolest tunes I'd ever heard. This thing is so hot it just smokes. 56 to boot. Are you shitting me? Thanks man this is just phenom.
Cliff Gallup was really the most underrated guitarist in music history, there is so few information about his life and influence on the internet :( BTW The song blows today's radios balls off!
thank you british nobleman at least there is someone else out there with a decent sense of whats right.In fact it is a fact and not just an opinion.Keep on rockin.
This is real PURE guitar playing in the tradition of Charlie Christian, Merle Travis, Junior Barnard, Les Paul etc These modern kids don't even know their guitar history, when it's all there for FREE on youtube.Do some Research!!!!!
proper guitar playing never mind rock guitar solos they have no soul just alot of noise.How anyone can relate to that shite beggars belief.Cliff and his like made guitars sound as theyshould.Lots of screechin notes and distortion only goes to show what shite players those so called rock players really are try to get them to play some proper rock an roll guitar licks if they can. Oh dear i bet lots of dick heads tell me im totally wrong now, ah well reply if you must .
@66drummerman as someone who plays allsorts of styles with all sorts of sounds I have to say you are ABSOLUTELY correct. The time spent learning to play, say a Rockabilly song in the way Brian Setzer plays against one of Yngwie Malmsteens 300MPH Shreds is not only far greater, but is time better spent as it will make you a better player. Getting it right with a clean sound is far more difficult than thrashing out noise with a cranked amp and effects pedal...and far more effective in my book.
no I admit I dont understand and dont want to...i'm not open to learning. I have tightly defined bounderies of what sounds good to me. steve vi and that swedish guy whos name I cant pronounce have noting to show me I need to know about. rockabilly players, classic rock I-cons are all I need. lots of notes do not a good guitarist make with me. keep it simple. scale runners go elsewhere.
@TNO73 joe sartini and the rest of those goofs cant produce anything that sounds this good. so what you can play 10,000 notes. their all discordant. this is musical!
Why is it that this was unacceptable in 1956 but Charlie Daniel's "the Devil Went Down to Georgia," which is saying basically the same thing (someone beating the devil at something) was considered OK in the 1970s.
@RaananVolesPianist I have no idea why this was unacceptable in the 50s, I guess because it was knew and in the 70s rock was already bigger and when the Devil Went Down to Georgia came out, it was not a completely new Idea. Also you probably know, but this is song is one of the influences for the Devil went down to georgia
Well I've led an evil life, so they say But I'll out run the devil on judgement day, I said Move, hot-rod, move man! Move, hot-rod, move man! Move hot-rod, move me on down the the line, oh yeah! Well me and the devil, at a stop light He started rollin', I was out of sight, I said Move, hot-rod, move man! Move, hot-rod, move man! Move hot-rod, move me on down the the line, oh yeah!
Well, goin' pretty fast, looked behind A-hear come the the devil doin' ninety-nine, I said Move, hot-rod, move man! Move, hot-rod, move man! Move hot-rod, move me on down the the line, oh yeah! Well I've led an evil life, so they say But I'll hide from the devil on judgement day, I said Move, hot-rod, move man! Move, hot-rod, move man! Move hot-rod, move me on down the the line.
cliff gallop,the best rock n roll guitarist ever...he was taken from a jazz band by vincent..cliff is a jazz guitarist,he uses 7ths and 9ths a lot in his playing..thats why its so melodic..he didnt want stardom...he was older than the other lads and had a family..he also uses 4 finger plecks,,three finger one thumb,,all metal..jeff beck has these now..he has not long been put into the r n r hall of fame...no body can touch this guy,,he made two albums with gene..the first two..the king..rip....
That's because Gene was Georges main musical influence. Pre Beatles (Silver Beatles) was Genes backing group in the UK. Gene wanted them to be his permanent backing group, but the beatles wanted to go alone.
@gibsongold1970 i agree totally. you are 1,ooo% correct. all the mop top lady bugs and brits ever did was get american music and make it more generic so it would be more commercial; easily digestible for mass consumption! thanks for your comment.
Cliff Gallup played a Gretsch Duo Jet with flat wound strings, Johnny Meeks played a Strat and Russell Wilford, who appeared briefly with the band in The Girl Can't Help It played a Telecaster.
Comment on the music. Who cares who wrote it? And there sure as hell is no room here for another loser bellyaching about Obama. He won--get over it. Ciff Gallup rules!
This comment has received too many negative votesshow
and then search for OBAMA JOKES.....theres this one where he gets his healthcare bill passed. The punch line comes when the country goes bankrupt and is then owned by china and all americans are forced into communism
NOW THATS COMEDY, LETS JUST HOPE IT DOESNT ACTUALLY HAPPEN
Does anyone know where I can get any printed posters of Gene Vincent and The Blue Caps, especially something like the image at the 21~25 second point of this video clip???
Excellent composite with excellent song! Gene's song sounds like it was born in the mid-1950s culture and just recorded in the 1950s like some of his contemporaries.
It's no wonder Nashville session men were impressed with Cliff Gallup's playing.
Cliff gallup put so many nuances in this song like using the bigsby throuhgout the whole entire melody. Most guys I've seen play this song don't seem to notice, which is why they never sound like Cliff Gallup.
This sounds very much like the Roy Orbison c.d. I bought sometime ago from the Sunday market. I really like the echoey vocals that are created. I really like the guitar at 0:50/0:51 seconds for 5 seconds of that guitar riff bit. Its snazzy and cool.
Cliff Gallup became the most forgot guitar played in Rock'n'Roll history. Although he died in 1988, he will stay in our hearts as the biggest. Race With The Devil shows you how great he was, only compared by Scotty Moore on Too Much and Frannie Beache on Birth Of The Boogie. But Cliff was highest than anybody
For sure, bellgardens53, I agree with you. I just talked about the 3 greatest rock'n'roll solos in my estimation. I have the whole complete Eddie Cochran discography and I agree with you. For sure you'd know all his recordings, but I'd like to make you hear again Eddie's "FOURTH MAN THEME", a re-make of Orson Welles's film music. Greetings from Spain
Why are people mentioning Fabian? Nothing against this artist, but certainly nowhere near the league of Gene Vincent and his Blue Caps.
As for Jeff Beck's attempt, not bad at all, very good guitarist, but no thanks, NO ONE can reach the skills and genius of the one and only Cliff Gallup...Also he could have hired a real rock and roll singer for that CD...Gene was simply one of a kind...
FYI: Monster4josh et al. Blue Caps #1 had Cliff Gallup at lead gtr ( April-Sept '56. Caps #2 still had Gallup as lead gtr ( Sept to Nov '56 ). Caps #3 had Johnny Meeks at lead gtr ( March-Dec '57 ) Caps #4 still had Johnny Meeks at lead gtr ( Jan -April '58 ) Caps #5 had Howard Reed ast lead gtr. Fontana was drummer in that period ( May-July '58 ). Caps #6 had Johnny Meeks back at lead gtr ( mid-Sept-mid-Oct '58 ) Grady Martin did not play in any Blue Caps version. Those that played bass was
cont...Jack Neal (Caps #1,2). Bobby Lee Jones (Caps #3), Bobby Lee Jones (Caps #4), Grady Owen (Caps#5, 6). Gallup played with Gene for six months but during that time become a legend. Gallup used to play a Gibson Les Paul Duo-Jet pancake model with Bigsby tremelo. On recording dates he used a leather bound Standell amp.
@sly1mo I can only imagine how Cliff Gallup would have sounded playing a '54 or '55 Les Paul with a Bigsby on it through that Fender Tweed-with-echo (and he made his own echo devices off old tape recorder parts) rig he fashioned so effectively. Perhaps "extraterrestrial" might be the way to describe how he'd have sounded on that . . . not that he wasn't in that neighbourhood already . . .
I have always wondered where/how/why Vincent picked up this strange title "Race With the Devil" and lyrics too. Why does he have to race with the devil? BTW who wrote it, again. Don't get me wrong as I'm facinated by "Race With the Devil"
Yes I know that he co wrote it with 'Sheriff'' Davis but why is Gene racing with the Devil and why? Or maybe one shouldn't ask such questions but I do.
Agree that there was nobody that could outplay Gallup back in the era, although Scotty Moore was pretty close IMO. Cliff died young - in his early 40's, while I believe Scotty is still somewhat active today...Both are considered early rock guitar legends.
Cliff Gallup was one of the greatest if not the greatest rockabilly guitarists of all time. I think one of his greatest solos is on B-I-Bickey Bi,Bo- Bo-Go. I think it sucks that he wasn't in Rolling Stones greatest guitar players issue. They did have Link Wray in the issue though which was cool.Thanks for posting this.

and then search for OBAMA JOKES.....theres this one where he gets his healthcare bill passed. The punch line comes when the country goes bankrupt and is then owned by china and all americans are forced into communism

Excellent composite with excellent song! Gene's song sounds like it was born in the mid-1950s culture and just recorded in the 1950s like some of his contemporaries.
It's no wonder Nashville session men were impressed with Cliff Gallup's playing.

Cliff gallup put so many nuances in this song like using the bigsby throuhgout the whole entire melody. Most guys I've seen play this song don't seem to notice, which is why they never sound like Cliff Gallup.

This sounds very much like the Roy Orbison c.d. I bought sometime ago from the Sunday market. I really like the echoey vocals that are created. I really like the guitar at 0:50/0:51 seconds for 5 seconds of that guitar riff bit. Its snazzy and cool.

Cliff Gallup and Grady Martin are the reasons I chose to play guitar for a living - and earn very little !

Cliff Gallup became the most forgot guitar played in Rock'n'Roll history. Although he died in 1988, he will stay in our hearts as the biggest. Race With The Devil shows you how great he was, only compared by Scotty Moore on Too Much and Frannie Beache on Birth Of The Boogie. But Cliff was highest than anybody

Check Eddie Cochran on "Eddies Blues" and you might think it over one more time. Add Eddie.
bellgardens53 3 years ago
For sure, bellgardens53, I agree with you. I just talked about the 3 greatest rock'n'roll solos in my estimation. I have the whole complete Eddie Cochran discography and I agree with you. For sure you'd know all his recordings, but I'd like to make you hear again Eddie's "FOURTH MAN THEME", a re-make of Orson Welles's film music. Greetings from Spain
whitefalcon64 3 years ago
Yes, "Fourth Man Theme" is a nice one Not really Rockn'Roll but nice indeed.

100% correct! Innovative greatness long before Clapton, Beck, Page or Van Halen; Great long after them as wall.

Why are people mentioning Fabian? Nothing against this artist, but certainly nowhere near the league of Gene Vincent and his Blue Caps.
As for Jeff Beck's attempt, not bad at all, very good guitarist, but no thanks, NO ONE can reach the skills and genius of the one and only Cliff Gallup...Also he could have hired a real rock and roll singer for that CD...Gene was simply one of a kind...

FYI: Monster4josh et al. Blue Caps #1 had Cliff Gallup at lead gtr ( April-Sept '56. Caps #2 still had Gallup as lead gtr ( Sept to Nov '56 ). Caps #3 had Johnny Meeks at lead gtr ( March-Dec '57 ) Caps #4 still had Johnny Meeks at lead gtr ( Jan -April '58 ) Caps #5 had Howard Reed ast lead gtr. Fontana was drummer in that period ( May-July '58 ). Caps #6 had Johnny Meeks back at lead gtr ( mid-Sept-mid-Oct '58 ) Grady Martin did not play in any Blue Caps version. Those that played bass was

cont...Jack Neal (Caps #1,2). Bobby Lee Jones (Caps #3), Bobby Lee Jones (Caps #4), Grady Owen (Caps#5, 6). Gallup played with Gene for six months but during that time become a legend. Gallup used to play a Gibson Les Paul Duo-Jet pancake model with Bigsby tremelo. On recording dates he used a leather bound Standell amp.

A Duo-Jet is a GRETSCH. Not a Gibson.

bellgardens53 3 years ago
@sly1mo I can only imagine how Cliff Gallup would have sounded playing a '54 or '55 Les Paul with a Bigsby on it through that Fender Tweed-with-echo (and he made his own echo devices off old tape recorder parts) rig he fashioned so effectively. Perhaps "extraterrestrial" might be the way to describe how he'd have sounded on that . . . not that he wasn't in that neighbourhood already . . .

I have always wondered where/how/why Vincent picked up this strange title "Race With the Devil" and lyrics too. Why does he have to race with the devil? BTW who wrote it, again. Don't get me wrong as I'm facinated by "Race With the Devil"

Gene wrote it along with Tex Davis

Yes I know that he co wrote it with 'Sheriff'' Davis but why is Gene racing with the Devil and why? Or maybe one shouldn't ask such questions but I do.

urbanmonkey997 4 years ago
Agree that there was nobody that could outplay Gallup back in the era, although Scotty Moore was pretty close IMO. Cliff died young - in his early 40's, while I believe Scotty is still somewhat active today...Both are considered early rock guitar legends.
