Nanci Griffith - I Fought The Law with Sonny Curtis & The Crickets

[@SaturnsChildRecordings]

Jerry Alison is seriously under rated. There was DJ Fontana, and him in the early years of rock n' roll drumming. Jazz was the place to be as far as serious drumming was concerned, and these pioneers paved the way for Ringo, Bonham, Keith Moon, and many others.

[@SpiffEatWorld]

Yes! Topper Headon of the Clash was a jazz-trained drummer.

[@jamielwendland7041]

Jerry Allison and Dick Richards of the Comets are my favorite drummers--they invented rock drumming. I also love Jerry's songwriting. I mean it doesn't get better than Real Wild One..

[@iknowitall2546]

Best piece of drumming bar none! Absolutely perfection! Unbelievable timing. Superb!!!

[@kevincasson9848]

It's that good, it's almost unbelievable. And he is so layed back. Not animated one bit!. Wow! RIP JI. We miss ya so much!

[@boroboy1964]

[@kevincasson9848]

Jerry Allison's drumming on this will never, ever be beaten. His timiming is pure perfection!!

[@terrystroud200]

[@cityzen2717]

Jerry Alison is a great rnr drummer.

[@kevincasson9848]

Most underestamated drummer ever. Bobby Vee said i Once " JI could play coloures". And yoh know Bobby Vee was right!!

[@wimthetim1]

"I Fought The Law", written by Sonny Curtis of Buddy Holly's Crickets-saw them with Waylon Jennings in Chicago, 1980's and the great Nanci Griffith in '94. more inside stories.

[@LEEFORDJAGG]

Is this show out on DVD? Great band and background singers too

[@unkulmark]

Most people do not know that Sonny Curtis also wrote the Mary Tyler Moore theme song! Sonny sings it live here: kzbin.info/www/bejne/q323fJ6um5doisU

[@nunyabisniss1179]

Thank you, unkulmark. Are you Mark Hardin?

[@jacklincoln7786]

“Zip gun”? It’s 2019 and I just discovered it’s not “Six gun”. LOL

[@Rickholly74]

It was a "zip gun" on the original Crickets recording but Bobby Fuller changed to "six gun".

[@kishannaconandoyle1907]

The Clash version says "six gun"

[@joebeutner6538]

"robbin' people with a ZIP gun".........

[@arcade85_]

J.I. rocks

[@happyolddude]

Although I love the Crickets music I never could get into the singing of this lady. Always curious to why they got involved with her.

[@dahur]

I like it, but wish they had done the Bobby Fuller Four version.

[@theghosthunter787]

The post-Holly Crickets did the original, having written it. Bobby's rocked, but it's Crickets song. Would've given my teeth to ear Buddy do it...

[@Mooseman327]

The Clash crushed it.

[@axehound3718]

And Dead Kennedy’s

[@suzannelawson9215]

Yes, I loved the Bobby Fuller Four version. I grew up with their version and lived with my parent's in the Hollywood area then.

Sonny Curtis’ song ‘ I fought the Law’ copied by a James Damiano on YT 9 years ago.. who accuses Dylan of copying… him… #$$$InEyes
