Larry & The Headliners
Lot-A-Lovin / Plastic Saddle
Jar : 474108 (45s)
Super-elusive, beyond rare Minnesota Rock-a-billy 45 in exception condition.
Larry Bergstrom and The Headliners travel to Universal Audio Recording in Winona, Minnesota guided by Minneapolis based engineer Jerry Adams on this very rare local 45. Led by a wailing "Memphis" inspired rocking stroller "Plastic Saddle" dominated by twanging guitar rhythms, highlighted by a lengthy skilled break, before Larry (Johnny Cash inspired) bursts back into to action with his most effective drawl vocal.
The real value of this disc tough, lies in the original flipside "Lot-A-Lovin" b-side fires out a frantic Rock-A-Billy dancer. A relentless screamer saturated in attitude and drive, again bridged by an impressive guitar break. This guitar interlude bristling with much more purpose and attitude, matching up to Larry's newly invigorated energy. The session gives up a 2:00 minute attack of pure undiluted Rock-A-Billy, featuring savage drumming and frenetic plectrum work... impressive small label Rock-a-billy.
Two great sides, with the obscured flipside turning out to be the real jewel.
