Junior Parker's Love My Baby

Junior Parker's of course did the original version of Elvis Presley's  "Mystery Train."  If you listen to Junior Parker's version of 'Mystery Train" it is much slower in tempo than the Presley version. "Love my Baby" was the b side to Parker's "Mystery Train" and listening to the track it sounds like Presley, Scotty Moore and company may have taken the arrangement of "Love my Baby" and used it for "Mystery Train."  What Scotty Moore did not do as is widely claimed (look up Mystery
Train on Wikipedia) was borrow the riff from "Love my Baby" and use it on "Mystery Train."  Here is the transcription to "Love my Baby" and yes it is great rockabilly style track it does not have the same lick as "Mystery Train."

Happy birthday Bob Stinson

This is probably the only non rockabilly post I will put on here.  A few days late but happy birthday  to the greatest ever.  RIP.

Wanda Jackson's I wanna waltz

Here is the solo from Wanda Jackson's "I Wanna Waltz." This is a countryish style solo that I believe was likely played by Joe Maphis.  This song is interesting in the it alternates 4/4 time with 3/4 time.  It also showcases how strong a country singer Wanda Jackson was and in fact I prefer her country style singing to her more deliberate raw type of vocals.  This solo is relatively simple and easy but still quite effective.
