Description
AN ORIGINAL US SUN PRESSING OF THIS GREAT 78 FROM TOMMY BLAKE AND THE RHYTHM REBELS IN EXCELLENT CONDITION
FLAT FOOT SAM
b/w LORDY HOODY
After an unsuccessful release from RCA Victor in 1957 didn't produce the success Tommy Blake was looking for, he and lead guitarist Carl Adams and rhythm guitarist Ed Dettenheim attended a disc jockey convention a few short months after leaving RCA Victor. Also in attendance at the meeting was renowned Memphis producer Sam Phillips, who Tommy was fortunate enough to meet and chat with. During their conversation, Sam may have inferred an interest in wanting to record Tommy and the Rhythm Rebels ( Carl & Ed), as that summer, the trio traveled to Memphis to solicit a recording date at Sun.
Sam consented and the group, bolstered by Sun session drummer Jimmy Van Eton, cut a brief session. The result was a solid reworking of TV Slim's Clif/Checker label recording of Flat Foot Sam and a further addition to the Hoody saga with the very raw and unbridled Lordy Hoody ( the term Hoody derived from Who Dey?, itself a bastardization of Who Are They ? ). Flat Foot Sam proved that Tommy and the Rhythm Rebels now had a firm grasp on rockabilly, while Lordy Hoody was a perfect showcase for Carl's blistering or "screaming" guitar work. Similarly, Tommy sounded far more comfortable with the new R&B tinged material. Lordy Hoody was pure, lowdown rockabilly, rivaling the work of other Sun stalwart guitarists as Jimmy Wages and Ray Harris. Sam noted similar merit in both cuts as he chose to couple them for release on Sept. 14, 1957 as Sun 278.
