Jay Hawkins was one of the most unique and original artists of the Rock and Roll era who's exclusive style and weird stage shtick made him an interesting cut above the rest...

Rubén González "Introducing..." 1997

Rubén González (born May 26, 1919, Santa Clara, Cuba - died December 8, 2003, Havana, Cuba) was a Cuban pianist...
...He was a legend in Cuban music and counted as one of the most influential pianists of the music style Son. He became internationally known in the 1990's through Ry Cooder's Buena Vista Social Club and afterwards released two albums. - discogs

The Halibuts "Gnarly" 1986

Brings me back to Hermosa Beach in 1990-1991. Many nights spent listening to you guys throughout South Bay. I am glad to hear you again. Great CD. Suffering through a nasty New England winter, the CD made me take one one long look at my board and wish for summer. - Michael Donovan
tarting in the early 80's, South Bay los Angeles' own Halibuts played instro surf music when it wasn't even hip. All but one of the members in the band surfed, unusual at the time as well. This cd contains their first two albums which includes some instro ska/surf tunes as well as tradition instro surf tunes. There is even a few vocals thrown in for fun.

The Satelliters "The Thyme Is Now" 1996

Taking a cue from theatrical Bay Area budget rockers like the Mummies,the Ripoffs and the Trashwomen, the Satelliters started their career cladin matching black leather fetish masks and noir outfits...
...But their songswere always more polished and evolved than their San Francisco brethren,even when they pounded out crude punk rock whoppers like "I Hate You,"on their 1995 Pinup Records 10," a split with the surf-rockin' Astronauts. - The Sateliters

The Untamed Youth "Some Kinda Fun" 1988

I've just finished ripping Untamed Youth's "Some Kinda Fun!" from my scratchy vinyl - if you wanted to post it, be my guest! Sleeve scans are in there too. Thanks again." - Reverend Bill
One of the most infectuous garage revival releases! Released on the great Norton Records in 1988, "Som Kinda Fun" was a throwback to the hot-rod and surf artists of the 60s (such as The Trashmen) but managed to sound fresh and original. I guess thats because in retrospect, Deke Dickerson was able to utilize the best aspects of the genre. This may not be extremely deep music, but it is incredibly fun and catchy. It sounds so pure, unlike many other bands who simply treated this music as a campy joke. It also has a perfect running time of just over a half hour, and doesn't contain a single weak track. The most popular number from the album is undoubtably "Pabst Blue Ribbon" (recently included on Rhino's box set "Children of Nuggets"), the anthem of all those who favour PBR over any other beer (including myself). If its hotrod-revival you want, you can't do much better than this. - StrummerFan8

Mickey Baker "In The '50s; Hit, Git & Split" 2007

Of all the guitarists who helped transform rhythm & blues into rock & roll, Mickey Baker was one of the very most important, ranking almost on the level of Chuck Berry and Bo Diddley. The reason he wasn't nearly as well known as those legends is that a great deal of his work wasn't issued under his own name, but as a backing guitarist for many R&B and rock & roll musicians. Baker originally aspired to be a jazz musician, but turned to calypso, mambo, and then R&B, where the most work could be found...to be continued... - by Richie Unterberger

Screamin' Jay Hawkins "I Shake My Stick On You" 1991

The CD cover says: "WARNING! This recording contains material that may be offensive to some people!"
This is one of the few true "albums" of Screamin Jay that is not a compilation or re-recording of old material. A great bluesy back up band supports Jay very well. The recording is from 1991 and features Bo Diddley Jr on guitar. This CD has great material and excellent sound quality. For fans of the late great Hawkins, this is a must have.

"EGYPTIAN CHA-CHA" A New Kind Of Mambo Vol. 37

Mambo is a Latin dance of Cuba which was developed in the 1940s when the music genre of the same name became popular throughout Latin America…
...The original ballroom dance which emerged in Cuba and Mexico was related to the danzón, albeit faster and less rigid. In the United States, it replaced rhumba as the most fashionable Latin dance. Later on, with the advent of salsa and its more sophisticated dance, a new type of mambo dance including breaking steps was popularized in New York. This form received the name of "salsa on 2", "mambo on 2" or "modern mambo". - wiki

MICKEY BAKER "Session Man & Performer" Vol. 5

Here is final volume in this series of Mickey Baker's legendary work, compiled by Marty Mellow. (He just passed away November 27, 2012.) If you asked me, and I know you didn't, but if you did, I'd say Mickey "Guitar" Baker is the greatest guitarist in rock'n'roll history...
...Bob Quine agreed with me. (The Hound Blog)Of all the guitarists who helped transform rhythm & blues into rock & roll, Mickey Baker is one of the very most important, ranking almost on the level of Chuck Berry and Bo Diddley. The reason he isn't nearly as well known as those legends is that a great deal of his work wasn't issued under his own name, but as a backing guitarist for many R&B and rock & roll musicians.

My word, this band became one of my tops over the adventure across their 3 records, this one is such a healthy mix of fun, dort, emotion, exactly why I listen to music is for shit like this - ssurfinturd
The cleaner, more polished sound shines light on a slightly different side of the band. Catchy melodies and the same uplifting feeling I love about other Guantanamo Baywatch records make for a great album. - ph0cid

Doyley & The Twanglords "Twang Solo" 2017

Sometimes you see an album cover and you are sure from the start that this one will make you happy, without having listened to a single note. You are right: With a Diablo Release it is even more safe to say, that disappointment is unlikely...
...However in the case of „Twang Solo“ it was the Artwork by Eugenio Magno, showing Doyley as one of my most important childhood heroes Han Solo surrounded by the deadly seed from „Day of the Triffids“ felt a lot like: This was made for me. I know, there’s a lot of people out there, that are rather sceptic concerning instrumental albums. Maybe this is one of the record that will convince people that it makes no difference if there are vocals or if it’s the guitar that sings. Believe me: The 21 tracks on „Twang Solo“ by DOYLEY & THE TWANGLORDS guarantee 100 % entertainment.

Screamin' Jay Hawkins "Something Funny Goin' On" 1993

He may be old, but he'll shake your walls if you play this loud enough. This cd is from 94 and is full of great songs, great singing and moments that'll make you laugh your [rear] off-like three bizarre musical interludes about Amy Fisher. Jay was probably all but forgotten at this point, but he kept on truckin and put out a great album. - Stanley Runk
Let's Drink A Toast To The Road And It's Master! In 1994, Screamin' Jay Hawkins released one rocker of an album, every song on this masterpiece has the possibility of making you house fall down, if you play it a maximum volume your girlfriend's clothes fall off. Screamin' Jay Hawkins classics such the title track, Brujo and 14 Wives still show's Screamin' Jay's nice little warped sense of humor. - Dean

"ROOM TO RUMBA" A New Kind Of Mambo Vol. 36

"When I first heard Tito and Machito forget it, that really blew my mind. So I had much more enjoyment and much more soul-fulfilling feeling taking my trumpet out, not sucking on a mute or playing extra-soft not to offend diners' ears playing society versions of Cole Porter but playing this real raucous, uninhibited, wonderful-feeling music." -Joe 'Mad Mad Mambo' Cain, who produced the Joe Cotto and Cabrerita tracks here and also worked with Dizzy Gillespie & Tito Puente among many others...
…If you haven't seen it already you should check out Art Fein's youtube channel which features Jim Dickinson telling us that the first rockin music he heard was the Harlem in Havana revue, Panther Burns doing 'O How She Dances', an amazing history of record companies lesson from Phil Alvin and much more...

The Speakeasies' Swing Band! "Uproaring Twenties" 2022

An absolute stellar effort by a band who have captured the sound of a bygone era perfectly. If you have ever watched a movie starring Fred Astaire and wanted to get up and start dancing yourself then this album is for you. A class act and are set for world domination. - - - Connections Radio Show - - - Land Of Plenty reviewed by Connections Radio Show.
With smooth arrangements and the vocal delights of Caterina Sisinni you are going to fall in love with this group.

His Master's Voice "Last Wave" 2020 - 12"/45rpm EP

This effort is a dizzying blast of overdriven guitars, crashing cymbals, and winding synthesized timbres. We tried to capture the less-than polished sound of our live shows with these recordings, embracing overdrive, mistakes, and imperfect timing in hopes of taking hold of some of that je-ne-sais-quoi inherent to real people performing live. We are not so self-assured as to be sure we wholly encoded our true selves into this music, but we'd like to think that we stamped in at least a few fragments.

MICKEY BAKER "Session Man & Performer" Vol. 4

Here is great collection of Mickey Baker's great work. (He just passed away November 27, 2012.) If you asked me, and I know you didn't, but if you did, I'd say Mickey "Guitar" Baker is the greatest guitarist in rock'n'roll history. Bob Quine agreed with me. (The Hound Blog)
Of all the guitarists who helped transform rhythm & blues into rock & roll, Mickey Baker is one of the very most important, ranking almost on the level of Chuck Berry and Bo Diddley. The reason he isn't nearly as well known as those legends is that a great deal of his work wasn't issued under his own name, but as a backing guitarist for many R&B and rock & roll musicians. Baker originally aspired to be a jazz musician, but turned to calypso, mambo, and then R&B, where the most work could be found. (Allmusic)
Great article about Mickey Baker here:

Guantanamo Baywatch "Darling... It's Too Late" 2015 + "Mama" 2012 - 7"/45rpm

If you’ve been searching for your perfect summer soundtrack, you may look no further.
Portland's surfin' party punks Guantanamo Baywatch have learned a few tricks in the three years since they released their first album, and 2015's Darling... It's Too Late is in practically every respect an improvement on their well-meaning but not so thrilling debut, Chest Crawl. Guantanamo Baywatch have worked up a better set of songs this time out; "Jungle Bride," "Sea of Love," and "Beat Has Changed" outweigh anything on the group's debut, and guitarist Jason Powell has not only sharpened his six-string skills, he's come up with some snazzy instrumental numbers, and "Raunch Stomp" and "Shenanigans" should separate the cool cats from the ho-dads in no time flat. (Powell also cooks up a nice cover of Eddie & the Showmen's "Mr. Rebel" for the historically minded.) The production and engineering (courtesy of Ben Coleman, Justin McNeight, and Ed Rawls) are cleaner and tougher this time out, and bassist Chevelle Super Sport and drummer Christopher Michael Scott are a stronger, steadier rhythm section after a few years' practice. And while slightly bent surf music is still this band's stock in trade, the slinky R&B-influenced weeper "Too Late" (including a guest appearance by singer Curtis Harding) and the stomping dance number "Boy Like Me" show they're adding new levels to their game and making it work. At just 31 minutes, Darling...

"Mama" 2012 - 7"/45rpm" 2012
...It's Too Late feels a bit like a party that broke up before it really got into fifth gear, but this album is a much better expression of Guantanamo Baywatch's potential than their first long-player, and anyone who wished GB's music was as good as their ideas on Chest Crawl gets the payoff on Darling... It's Too Late. - AllMusic Review by Mark Deming
