Jimmy Johnson - All Dressed Up

Real primitive Rockabilly from 1956/ Starday Records, Flip of Woman Love! Played also together with Jack Rhodes. One weekend in March 1956, Jack asked his friend Jimmy Johnson to demo a couple of new songs. Johnson had some sides as vocalist with Rhodes' band a few years before. Though he was a part-timer, whose few recording opportunities had arisen solely through Rhodes' patronage rather than his own initiative, Johnson was an engaging vocalist with an authoritative style. His cool, dry delivery and virile lived-in timbre seemed ideally suited to Jack's songs. They worked on Woman Love, a lascivious blues, and All Dressed Up, a Don Carter song that boasted a rockabilly groove and classic honky tonk lyrics. Johnson accompanied himself on electric guitar, playing the bluesy lead licks himself.
