Warren Rough is still around the Melbourne live music scene, he is in a band "Woodward and Rough" doing old timey music and plays every Sunday night at the Lomond Hotel in East Brunswick. Also he plays acoustic guitar at the Lomond's old timey jam session every Saturday arvo from 4.30pm (except Xmas, Easter, Grand Final Day, and the weekends of the Harrietville & Beechworth bluegrass conventions, and the Yarra Junction and Blackwood Fiddlers Conventions).

I loved this band! Their gigs at The Tote were wild!

Rick O'Shea and Warren Rough should really get this band back together again!

Love it :)

[beaumarisdavid]

went to see the boys at la Tote in Collingwood many times. Backed up by No Nonsence and sometimes the Hot Dogs-Good Times

[itginternet]

yep, the Hot Dogs were brilliant. Paul Addison (lead singer) is (was) my brother in law, sadly he passed away a few years ago.

[leahmhaines]

[vincemcdonnell]

searched hi and low for this.

wow its great to hear after all these years, As anyone got a version with out the commentry and clapping

[Buckpenn]

They sure revived rockabilly in the 80's, and it might have been the Stray Cats and not so the Crackerjacks that paved this revival. As the Beatles paved the way for the British Invasion in the 60s, Elvis must have paved the way for rockabilly's birth a decade earlier.

[CyberjamClub]

Kickin. I like it...5*****

Paul C J C

[rutlegirl]

yeah I want to get my hair done at that place lol! :)

[cordwoody53]

That was worth the addmission fee !!!, the best version of this old classic i've ever heard . FANTASTIC !!!.

[lambemos2]

enorme .... j'adore !

[briust]

best version ever.

And the Hank Williams suit..

[hunnymunch3000]

not bad for austrailia i suppose

[johnnykallista]

Hey the Crackajacks are one of Australias greatest Rockabilly acts! I was lucky to see them when they reformed in the late 80's at a show at the Burwood RSL! Rick O'Shea Rocks! Where is he now?

Cheers

Qué buenos!! Me encanta el cantante.

[Zipgunn1]

Fantastic cover, ahead of its time. Where are they now?????????

[rockabillypsych0sis]

Rockin'est cover of this I've ever seen/heard. WILD.

[garagekings]

the Crackajacks were an Aussie Rockabilly revival band. This 45 was released 3 times in 1980/81 and is a little killer. Never saw them on Countdown, our biggest Pop TV show, but fab to see this clip from it.

[jt123egypte]

Johnny Powers would be amused.Great performance!
