This cut was originally recorded by Gene Vincent and his Blue Caps... probably at Capitol Records in Hollywood California. But then... the Stray Cats released it in the 80's, and it was a little more rockin'! We decided to see what would happen if we bumped it up into the red a little bit MORE...
Rockabilly!
