Titles: Shakin 'All Over - / - Yes Sir, That's My Baby
In the batch of discs purchased that day at Age Concern, here are definitely my best hoe, Lonnie Donegan with .
Shakin 'All Over is a classic rock song, echoed by almost everyone, Vince Taylor, The Who, but I realize that before buying the 45 laps I had this version original disc in any home and I knew her very badly.
Like many I believe, I too tend to start the history of British rock with the Beatles and the Stones, but before them was particularly Cliff Richard and The Shadows, Vince Taylor and Johnny Kidd and the Pirates , who reached the top of the charts in 1960 with this Shakin 'All Over , their fourth single. The
May 13, 1960, the day of recording this album, the label had planned to register the group as side A Yes Sir, That's My Baby an American popular song from 1925, taken dozens times and in all styles, including, it is surely the only point of intersection of their discographies, by Georges Jouvin . The group had already recorded a version of this song a year earlier, wilder apparently that was not published. She might have remained completely new if it had not been put in place thereof in a reissue of the 45 laps in 1976.
In any case, as there Yes Sir, That's My Baby rock is a nice, very poppy, not far in the spirit of Buddy Holly . It would surely have had some success, but eventually she found herself relegated to the B side of 45s. Why? Because the label had left the group's second choice title, the day before recording, Johnny Kidd had written in a few minutes a new song, Shakin 'All Over . The song has been canned with more than two times, with just a guitar overdub with a lighter using improvised bottleneck. The guitar solo on this classic is held by Joe Moretti , who was not a permanent member of the Pirates (but he also plays on the next single, Restless). This name is unknown to non-specialists, but the guy has quite a pedigree. This is particularly he who, in 1959, supplied the guitar solo Brand New Cadillac Vince Taylor ! On its website, Joe Moretti tells of how delusional and exciting meeting with Johnny Kidd and the registration of Shakin 'All Over .
In my ears, who took things the wrong way from the years 1980, Shakin 'All Over sounds like a concentrate of all the rockabilly of the 1950s, rockabilly crazy revered and unearthed by Cramps, one with the guitar so wild Link Wray. If
Brand new cadillac has sold just at the time, especially as the BBC, where advertising is prohibited, refused to broadcast it, Shakin 'All Over was a real success in 1960 (if it was not sold many copies, it was very unlikely that I unearthed one in a store of the English province fifty years later).
Overseas, the song was a tube in 1965, after a recovery by Chad Allan / The Guess Who. This probably explains why Johnny Kidd recorded this year a new version, Shakin'all over '65, which gives pride to the organ. But Johnny did not take much longer for his classic, died the year since esy following a car accident.
