Got a great citique on my Radio Oxford show jonks ago - - and was it by Nick Vince? I remember his name was Nick. Anyhoo, about Jerry Byrne & later Dr John??? got probs with recall, but believe it's the same man. if so, RIP. Great RNR. Thanks for uploading.
Wonderful record timeless and having heard it thousands of time, it will never wear on me. God bless rock and roll. you gave me th best years of my life. NICK VINCE Southend Teds Rule OK
I am saddened to hear of his passing. I have loved this all my life. At the risk of sounding like a git, his name and memory will live on. One of my favourite records ever; one of the greatest records ever!
It is with extreme saddness that I must tell you this. Jerry Byrne passed away Wednesday morning (4/7/10) after fighting a brave battle against his illnesses. He will be sorely missed by his family, friends and fans. He was so loved and was a kind, loving and generous human being. The world has been dimmed by his loss.
@DonnaJAppel .Thank you for letting us know . The light out song is a fav of mine and used to bop to it in the early 80's it was good for attracting the girls. Even bought an original 45. Thank you and RIP Mr Byrne Regards from England
Bowser...Of course, this may not be pure 'billy, but give Mv his due: it's a damned lot nearer than most pap that fellow Brits of my(and his) age are told is rockabilly.
Mr Motivating whilst i commend your taste in music this aint rockabilly ..... but you are so young!! if you want !true rockabilly see "Charlie Feathers "
I have been on the Rockin scene since 1976 and have seen Charlie Feathers several times and a myriad of others at many weekenders around the world. You may not class Jerry as Rockabilly, but I do. There is often a fine line between Rock n Roll and rockabilly for many artists on the rocking scene.
Jerry classes his material as both rock n Roll and Rockabilly which he confirmed to a group of us when we saw him in Hammersmith in 1987.
Jerry is a good friend of mine. He has been having some serious medical problems of late and would enjoy cards from his fans. To send your regards you can contact Jerry Byrne at PO Box 431, Morgan City, LA 70381.
Sorry bellgardens53, he didn't. Dr John was Mac Rebennack who co-wrote and plays piano on this. You can see his name on the writing credits in the picture
Apparently there exists in 'The Vaults' an even faster and wilder take of this track which has not been 'officially' released. Does anyone have a recording of it they could put up? One of the finest records ever made. I never, ever, tire of hearing it even after 30-plus years. I remember getting a request for it played on the radio in 1978 when I was a boy...
Could you PLEASE post the flip side of this single? I believe it is "Honey Baby" as my brother had this record years ago and it is one of my favorite rockabilly memories.

Mac Rebennack didn't play piano on this. It was a guy called Art Neville. Jerry did sing with Rebennack's band at one point, however.

My sincere sympathy to all of Jerry's family and loved ones.
I have admired this record so much since the first time I ever heard.
Hope that I can be worthy enough to meet him someday up there in Rock & Roll Heaven some day.

The late 50's
A young boy growing up in East Texas and going
to sleep every night with WNOE and Long John Silver
on the radio.
This is one of those tunes that made the music and radio
from that era so unbelivably exciting!
