manhunterfrommars,the song has a similar tune with the dylan song "tombstone blues"

[texsis48]

Jerry Howell was from Kilgore, Texas. He was a year ahead of me. I remember their band so well.

[ManhunterFromMars]

Which Bob Dylan song does this sound like? I know there's one that has a very similar beat...

[mrmrscosanostra]

thats a fuckin guitar solo.

[stratbnder]

Ronnie Weiss is one of the best. always. Hes also a great guitarist and a good friend. he still lives in Tyler, does'nt gig much anymore but was still playing in church last I heard. It was a pleasure to hear him play.

[rustydixie]

I really like this song and was wondering if anyone knows where I can purchase it ?

[rustydixie]

I really like this song and was wondering if anyone knows where I can buy it ?

[sixtiesrecords]

One of my favorites, a classic garage beat with an electric Dylan's influence.

[walkentalk1]

Wheres the credit for the drummer for this track?

[pmmeditor]

Well, Ronnie sang pretty well, but Bugs was the talent in the band.

[sickleclown]

theres now a compilation out called the fraternity years available on ebay

[hyro924]

Thanks for checking. But I'll have to look for CD's or postings on You Tube. Thanks again.

[hyro924]

Wicker Vine was on a Bell promo copy that I had. Never seen a stock copy.

[garageband66]

two 45's are on ebay.

[hyro924]

Don't want to step on anyone's toes. Would just love to hear Wicker Vine - Mouse & Traps again.

[garageband66]

I'll see what I can find.

[hyro924]

Looking for a post of another song by Mouse & The Traps called Wicker Vine. Would love to hear it again. Can anyone help? Thanks

[garageband66]

It is likely on the Sundazed release but you run a risk of copyright issues if you post Sundazed's stuff.

[Khultan]

I love only the music side don't care for the verses, since I discovered The Clash and Sex Pistols.

[garageband66]

Well....where do you think they got their influences from?

[Khultan]

If you're talking about the clash, they threw out love songs when they formed. The closest love song from them might be 'Lover's rock'.

[garageband66]

Not the love song itself; the rawness and the energy that bands during the garage era had.

[Khultan]

Agree. And the melodic range is wild and not that three chord bull shit.

[1modernmessage]

HA! these guys are new to me but am big 13 floor elevators geek ,so i loved this .thx4posting

[doesntmattermuchtome]

hi garageband66, I wonder if you have ever heard the Mouse and the Traps song I've been trying to find for many years. Part of it goes, "This town has many faces, but none that I can see. No one seems to want me but they won't let me be," Then part of the chorus goes, "I'm looking for love love love. L.O.V.E. love." That song had an important message and I'd love to hear it again if anyone can post it.

[kangalic]

I wish it were on itunes

[kangalic]

oh my god what a great fuckin song !!!! LURRRRRVEIT!

[garageband66]

So I guess you are undecided about this one.

[tezbooze]

wish someone would put lie beg borrow on

[garageband66]

It's on the tube. Check out thunderbird57's site. I think he has it.

[tezbooze]

very nice indeed , did these do one called beg borrow steal ?

[garageband66]

Yup same group.

[hungovermorning]

I'm pretty sure the Ohio Express did that one.

[garageband66]

They did but a few months later.

[nilsbergman]

It's not the same song. They have the same song title, but are completely different songs. And for the record, Ohio Express stole their version from another band called The Rare Breed, and never gave them credit. The 60's....

[willminkorea]

This rocks.

[vinylvend]

I'm from Tyler, seen the studio where they did many of their recordings, very cool cut!

[nosoyunvirus]

yeah, good song! garage is one one the best musics, and i found so much pleasure listening the artists from Nuggets, great compilations which made me discover amazing groups like this one!

[garageband66]

Thanks!

[asybolde]

Thanks so much! I've been looking for this for quite a while. Fantastic!

[garageband66]

No problem!

[bucksheespins]

Excellent! Rocks as ever!

[garageband66]

There were so many great Texas bands during this time that only had limited regional or one or two national hits. These guys deserved a better fate than they got they were great.

[mackemc57]

brilliant!!!!

[garageband66]

Thanks! But all I did was post it! LOL!

[mackemc57]

If you didn't post it, I wouldn't have heard it!

Thanks.

[guitargreats1]

Great post. Buggs plays some great stinging guitar.

[garageband66]

Yes he do! I can't help but wonder what would have happened to rock had guys like these got national airplay. Maybe there'd be no RAP!

[guitargreats1]

I wish. Texas was a hotbed for some of the best garage punk bands. Kenny/Kasuals,13th Floor Elevators,Moving Sidewalks,Mouse and tons of others.

[garageband66]

Got some Kenny and the Kasuals, 13th Floor Elevators as well. I amazed at all of the posts already for a lot of the garage stuff. It seems the most eclectic folks are here in force on the tube!

Texas was also the home for Bobby Fuller who would have been the most famous and successful artists to ever come out of Texas had he not been murdered.

[thunderbird1958]

Great add. Thanks.
