Twanging Tuesday # 49 - Delayed

Todays track is from one of the pioneers in swamp rock - Dale Hawkins. Born in the the late 1930s in Louisiana he raised up with the black cotton pickers and played with them while they had a break in work. Also inspired from Elvis Presley he released in 1957 his classic Suzie Q. He's also a classic in this genre.

Twanging Tuesday # 8

This track is from the legendary Ronnie Hawkins and it's based on a track originally from Chuck Berry. You can follow his career by clicking the link to Wikipedia. For me it's just another little masterpiece in Rockabilly. His cousin is Dale Hawkins, who gave us the wonderful Suzie Q.
