I've had this forever on the "My Babe" LP but I'd never listened to it till Matt the Cat on 50s XM Night Prowl Show brought it to my attention 3 years ago. - my bad huh? I think Roy Buchannan was lead guitar as also on La Do Dah, the flip. J Burton was with him a little earlier - on Checker 863; "Don't Treat Me This Way"

"Cross Ties" was the b-side to Dale Hawkins 45-single, "La Do Da Da" -- Checker 900, released in 1958.

I wonder if guitarist James Burton is in on this one too with Dale.
