Rare 45 Henry Thome - "WOLF BAIT" MOODY SLEAZY SLOW ROCKABILLY

[1947carlton]

For me - Henry Thome's version of "Scotch & Soda" was better than the Kingston Trio's. He captured the essence of the song in a smokey, believable style that remains one of my favorite recordings today. I was 15 in 1962 when this came out & remember how pissed I was that the K'trio's version replaced it on the charts. I had the pleasure of hearing Henry Thome perform @ Rawhide a short time ago, and was so glad to finally meet him. A real homegrown Arizona talent & a true gentleman.

I got this record in my collection also. I though perhaps this was the original version of 'Scotch & Soda' but perhaps not? I personally don't hear 'rockabilly' in this record, it more like nightclub jazz.

@col1rbtx , I agree with you but has a sleazy rock element to it. I just use keywords like "rockabilly" to get people to check out the video. Thanks for your comment - dan
