HAWKINS, DALE - La, Memphis & Tyler, Texas (Sealed) (LP)

In 1956, Dale Hawkins (1936 - 2010) wrote Suzie Q - a giant song and a classic of garage rock of the 1960s. After his years as a musician at Chess Records (1956 - 1961), he recorded for various US labels and worked as a producer. In 1969 he made his comeback with this album - a shock for many of his Rockabilly fans! A crazy mixture of roots rock, blues, country and soul. Various sessions with Texas legends Bugs Henderson and Ronnie Weiss (Mouse & The Traps), Taj Mahal, Ry Cooder, James Burton, Joe Osborne and the Memphis Horns, a.o. Newly mastered for this exquisite 180-gram pressing with the original cover artwork.
