The first is by Junior Parker who wrote the song, it is slow- er than what came later, having the speed of a train slowly moving from a station. It is almost languid in it’s pace and vocals. The next and most famous rendition is by Elvis, it is much faster,driven by the Scotty Moore guitar riff that fuels all later versions. As Elvis got older and more sub- stance dependent the song got faster and faster. James Burton provided the guitar, pushing the main riff past anything previous, with speed and technique, to about 60 or 70 mph with no station in sight. This is the way of playing this song that I learned from my guitar teacher Danny Gatton in 1969. The only other serious reworking of “Mystery Train” was the one “The Band” put out on one their albums. Resting some- where between the original and Presley’s, with Levon Helm singing the vocals and Robbie Robertson providing the guitar. Robertson also wrote some additional words and added additional stanzas, twisting the song considerably but still keeping the feel. Now when I play the song (which is rarely) it is as it was originally recorded. Slowly, with an almost drag beat. “Train I r--i--d--e....”. The fascination stays intact at any speed, always impenetrable and com- plex. A song containing no obvious emotion, but once heard it will not leave your head. American and ancient, simple and demanding, inspired and sad.

  • Charles Diamond Pennywell & the Fairlanes / Sunlovers's
    Reprinted with permission from Echoes of the Past magazine, Issue #116 (Summer, 2016), pp. 13 - 19. Charles Diamond Pennywell & the Fairlanes / Sunlover's Shreveport Doo Wop to West Coast Soul By Charlie Horner With Contributions from Pamela Horner city, next to New Orleans and Baton Rouge. It's always been an important music city, though it of- ten doesn't get the recognition it deserves. At one time or another, the Shreveport area was the home to important singers and musicians of all genres, including blues (Lead Belly), gospel (Ever Ready Gospel Singers), country & western (Hank Wil- liams, Johnny Horton, Jim Reeves) and rock-a-billy (Dale Hawkins), along with rhythm & blues, rock & roll and of course Cajun music. Shreveport's "Louisiana Hayride” broadcasts played a pivotal role in the music careers of both Hank Williams and Elvis Presley. Shreveport was the home of Stan Lewis's Paula, Jewel and Ronn record labels and the birthplace of Nashville music mogul Shelby Sin- gleton. Shreveport was a major hub in black mu- sic's “Chitlin’ Circuit”. Still, precious little research has been done on Shreveport's 1950’s African American music scene. Charles Pennywell began singing at the age of ten but really began to take it seriously when he got to high school. Influenced by r&b vocal groups like the Spaniels, Dells, Five Royales and Five Sat- ins, Charles and some friends formed a singing group of their own. "We were in high school Transitioning between 1950's doo wop, six- ties soul and seventies funk music is not easy.

  • John Fogerty Is Rehearsing for His first Extended Live Shows in More Than a Decade
    May 21, 1997--- LOS ANGELES---The clouds of mystery are lifting over the mountainside studio where John Fogerty is rehearsing for his first extended live shows in more than a decade. Wearing a green plaid workshirt and pressed blue jeans, the creative force behind Creedence Clearwater Revival is preparing to hit the road to promote his new "Blue Moon Swamp" record, released Tuesday on Warner Bros. But the majority of the dates in New York, Los Angeles and Chicago will consist of Creedence hits. Fronting a quartet, Fogerty will even play some of the classics through vintage '60s gear. Fogerty has never leaned on Creedence songs as a solo act. Coming to terms with the past may account for the clarity of "Blue Moon Swamp." Full of dobros, guitars and passionate vocals, it is Fogerty's most rootsy album since his self-titled 1975 solo debut. Then again, maybe the clarity was already in place. "It came first," Fogerty says before rehearsal. "I get a lot of the clarity from my wife, Julie (Kramer, who hails from Elkhart, Ind.). Her positiveness helps me every day. That spilled over into my directness with the music, and I became very clear with who I should be. And that's a good thing to know, because there's been times in my life where I wasn't that sure. "(The dark, high-tech 1986 release) `Eye of the Zombie' is certainly a great example. So are some of the lost soul meanderings of the '70s, when I made an ill- fated record called `Whodo' that shows up in bootlegs at flea markets.

  • BUDDY HOLLY (Charles Hardin Holley) 7Th September 1936 - 3Rd February 1959 LYRICS Coordinated by Robin Dunn & Chrissie Van Varik
    BUDDY HOLLY (Charles Hardin Holley) 7th September 1936 - 3rd February 1959 LYRICS Coordinated by Robin Dunn & Chrissie van Varik. Buddy Holly was born Charles Hardin Holley on 7th September 1936 in Lubbock, Texas. At a young age he learned to play guitar, fiddle and piano. He released only three albums during his short lifetime, before his untimely death in an airplane crash that fateful “day the music died”, 3rd February 1959. However, he had been a prolific writer and a couple of albums consisting of unreleased material and demo recordings were issued posthumously. Buddy Holly was one of the inaugural inductees into the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame in 1986, together with The Everly Brothers.

  • The Geographic Dimensions of Buddy Holly's Meteoric Career
    Romig: "Not Fade Away" “Not Fade Away”: The Geographic Dimensions of Buddy Holly’s Meteoric Career Kevin Romig 8 Produced by The Berkeley Electronic Press, 2011 1 Buddy Holly and radio host, Red Robinson, October 1957. Courtesy Red Robinson. Journal of Texas Music History, Vol. 11 [2011], Iss. 1, Art. 3 The career of native Texan Buddy Holly is often described as “meteoric.” Within 18 months of his frst hit,“That’ll Be the Day,” which charted on the Billboard Top 40 list in 1957, Holly released seven other songs that made the Billboard Top 40.1 He and his band toured extensively throughout the United States, Canada, Australia, and Great Britain, while many contemporaries, such as Elvis Presley, did not tour much, if at all, outside of the 9 United States. Holly quickly established himself as a rock and roll pioneer before his untimely death in an airplane crash on February 3, 1959, while on tour in the American Midwest.2 Holly was only 22 years old when he perished on the ill-fated fight along with fellow pop stars Ritchie Valens and J.P. “The Big Bopper” Richardson.3 Holly, his band members, and his manager/recording engineer, Norman Petty, had worked tirelessly during the mid- to late 1950s writing and recording new material. Holly’s innovative and driven approach to producing catchy tunes placed him frmly within the upper echelon of rock and roll artists at a time when the market was crowded with aspiring musicians. Te bespectacled and somewhat awkward-looking Holly was perhaps an unlikely candidate to become a teen idol, especially considering that he was following in the footsteps of such stars as Elvis Presley, Chuck Berry, and Jerry Lee Lewis.
