Other tracks are Chew Tobacco Rag No2 by Billy Briggs and Shake Your Money Maker by Elmore James. May be good to add a track listing?

Jiver is That's Right by The Five Keys very popular at the time as a new re-issue album was released. I think the DJ Fifties Flash was involved in that release. You can download tracks from itunes.

Brings back a lot of memories about the animosity that the Freds felt about the non-orthodox styles. Being a Psychobilly back then could be hazardous to your health. However, we all get fat and old in the end.

Stray Cat's not rockabilly or rock and roll? LOL. I'm a rock and roll guy. Grew up with Elvis then other rockabilly and 50's rock and roll then 60's with Motown, Beatles and the Stones, then classic rock. As I got going with with this music I discovered the roots more. The first time I really heard the blues I realized too my ears it was slowed down rock and roll. Deep down in my soul I'm blues and rockabilly. I still slick my hair back, wear blue suede shoes and own a 57 chevy.
