Jack Southern - Darlene - Rockabilly 45

[@MartinRivera-zp7lr]

I love that background voice, great rhythm, hell yeah!!!!

[@wellsy1954]

This is Baker Knight. The background effects were added to give the record a Johnny Rivers-type sound, as he was having success at the time with "Memphis" and "Maybelline"

[@laszlomarkus2529]

Unstopable! Killer track!

[@whispperson]

Wicked recording. Love listening to this incredible Rocker.

[@malmalamie2732]

Love this, not sure if its Rockabilly, sounds like its from the mid 60s blues thing , still great 👍

[@rockitMiC]

Right! It ain’t Rockabilly at all! It belongs to that intermediate style from the early sixties. Think Johnny Rivers and all.

[@johnnyhelge1743]

I'd call it psychedelic rockabilly

[@streetdevil2169]

We play it in the rockin scene to bop to In the UK

Sounds a bit like Kenny Owens - Long lost john . This was written by Baker Knight & he recorded stuff himself in the 50's .( Bring my Cadillac Back. On Spinning records . could even be him singing .

Gee, I never knew Creedence and Doors did a single together.

[@gwugluud]

Another thing that gives it away this is mid 60s is toward the end, where the last verse was doing that Standells "grumbling/talking under his breath" thing, lol. Greatness

A great party track. Baker Knight wrote it and probably did demo. Strong vocal and guitar and female backing

Baker Knight the guy who wrote Lonesome Town?

[@MedicalTape_xX]

Now Darlene used to love me And I know she loved me so But then one night I took her to the whiskey A Go-Go We stood there in the corner where the lights were low and dim Well then and there is where my baby lerned to do the swim Oh Darlene, Darlene Tell me what you gonna do You know that rock and roll music Sure has got a hold on you Well she went on got some records and she played 'em all night long She learned to do the swim to every single little song She went on up to 'Frisco to the condor by the bay And now when Darlene does the swim they carry folks away Oh Darlene, Darlene Tell me what you gonna do (Darlene) I said that rock and roll music Sure has got a hold on you (Oh rock out baby) Well every night she swimming down right up there on the stage Let me tell you sweet Darlene is now the latest craze When the band is playin' boy she really knocks 'em dead People have to stop and put their eyes back in their heads Oh Darlene, Darlene Aw tell me what you gonna do You know that rock and roll music Sure has got a hold on you All that fame and fortune's gone to your head Well look at her swimming up there on that stage torturing me! Oh well you know what I mean You're doing so much swimming Imma learn to be a life guard Yeah somebody gonna have to bring you back to shore Oh c'mon

[@gwugluud]

Thx for doing that! 👍

[@manuela5142]

Thank you

The only correction to your lyrics is "I took her to the Whiskey A Go-Go" (which is a long-standing bar on Sunset BLVD in West Hollywood)

I suggest "Well, I'm Weak" by Eddie Stapleton, and "Mean Mean Woman" by the Twisters. Those are two of my favorites.

Check out Walt Cochran "I'm Sitting on Top of the World".

[@dabtonydimple9819]

Imagine just the instrumental....

[@malaquiasalfaro81]

It’s definitely late rockabilly and garage. A song can fall into more than one genre? Call it Garage-a billy then. It’s sloppy, sleazy, has the southern hiccup, southern draw, and a seriously heavy dose of R&B.

[@jellyrollbaker]

Awesome song,but i can not find anything on this Jack Southern?? I know Baker Knight wrote the song....but did he also sing it?? Or did he write it for this Jack Southern??

[@cadetmouse]

they are the same person....one version had the annoying gals talking in the background, the other was released under Baker Knight without the added girls in the background...

Early era go go very 1965 or so as distinct from the 70's disco with its latino element. Another example of early go go era is the youngblood with "Grizzly bear".

[@importantmancommenting9336]

Is that cartman in the background?

[@bertoast99]

I wish there was a version without the annoying background vocals.

[@timwhitlock2684]

I love the wild, cool chick in the back. She pushes the song's energy up a notch.

Can someone please tell me the lyrics?

[@johnjackson2044]

Thnks it aint R-A-Billy,sort of stuff P.J.Proby(Jett Powers) sang/played when he arrived in the UK.

[@Trentonpage]

Baker knight wrote it. He is dead now.

[@SteveBraithwaite]

This sounds more like 60s SoCal garage rock. It's certainly not rockabilly.

[@cadetmouse]

Its not Rockabilly, its great Rock n Roll...

[@mikefule]

I agree it's not rockabilly. Has some of the sound of the early Rolling Stones bluesy material.

[@adrianjae599]

It’s classified as Rockabilly and someone on this thread described as ‘a great bopper’ which I can sort of visualise given the vocals and guitar however I personally wouldn’t call it Rockabilly , it’s more raw garage 60’s RnB with someone playing a lo-fi organ which wasn’t an instrument associated with original Rockabilly recordings.

[@vladrosenwine33]

Great track but not rockabilly.Bit of Rolling Stones early vibe here,Johnny Rivers too,good rhythm and blues.

[@mariacanavan3305]

This ain't Rockabilly... More like 60s pop...

[@forastero4ever]

Sound like the Kinks

[@wellsy1954]

I don't know how.
