Ronnie Hawkins & The Hawks - Bo Diddley

[srbrand04]

I need help! I heard a version of Ronnie Hawkins singing "Jambalaya" and it is awesome...but I can't find it!

This is great, but I am missing the cut of "Mary Lou" from this album. Did it have to be lifted from YouTube?

EYYYYYYYYYYY BO DIDLEY



[dreadnought45]

This album cover shows the original Hawks - Levon-drums; 'Will 'Pop"Jones-piano; and Jimmy-Ray Paulman - guitar. Will Jones, and Jimmy-Ray eventually went back to Arkansas while Levon stayed with Hawkins and became a member of the new Hawks who then became The Band when they left Hawkins to go out on their own.

i sang with Ronnie hawkens many times

[njva17420]

I never heard this version when these guys were on the air in the 50's. This is far better than any other version that was more popular -- including the original. The one I really remember was "Mary Lou". These guys were great and underappreciated at the time.

@njva17420 We did this song in London Ontario at Cambells Night Club many times

Pretty heavy guitar work by Robbie Robertson at the end for 1962' way ahead of Clapton i think.

[loverboy24you]

@Kenebutch Robbie was to cool back then and he was a great player

[tunderbomber]

The Band as the rough roadhouse band as they started out. Listen to that tight unit they already were in those early days! Just fucking great! I 'm gonna listen to this material the rest of the night with a glass of wine and comb my hair into that quiff.
