Shakin' over to the rockin' spot
Another flea market find. Records like this are what keep me digging through dusty boxes in the hot sun.
This record was released twice. Once in 1959, credited to Curley Coldiron And The Circle C Boys and ten years later credited to the Sundowners. Both releases are on the Circle C label. I’ve got the 1969 release.
Apparently, the Sundowners were a Chicago institution, they were the house band on a Chicago TV show and had a 20 year (!!) residency at a place called the Bar R-R club. Everyone from Fats Domino to the Mekons played with the Sundowners at the Bar R-R. Jon Langford says that the trio gave the Mekons an education in country music at. Guess who is the subject of this picture that Langford painted.
I’ve had this 45 for years but it was just recently that I found out that Bloodshot Records included it on a compilation that they put out in 1994. I only play one side though. The flip, as good as it is, is not rockin’.
