Eddie Bo is doing the talking (he produced it), and Mac Rebennack (Dr John) is on guitar.<BR/><BR/>Guitarist Rene Hall did make some great instrumental sides. He was originally from Morgan City, LA and played jazz before getting into R&B in the 50's on the West Coast. That's him on a lot of Larry Williams hits like "Dizzy Miss Lizzy" and "Bad Boy". I think he was the guitarist on the original "La Bamba", too, with<BR/>Earl Palmer on drums. They both did lots of session work in L.A.Dan Phillipshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12185793905565005146noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-11910289.post-1120960780005367082005-07-09T20:59:00.000-05:002005-07-09T20:59:00.000-05:00Brian, "The Pretzel" is credited to band member Jo...Brian, "The Pretzel" is credited to band member John Krenski.Todd Lucashttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01121569810897361036noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-11910289.post-1120879613616605572005-07-08T22:26:00.000-05:002005-07-08T22:26:00.000-05:00Scott, I have another Denims record, "Salty Dog Ma...Scott, I have another Denims record, "Salty Dog Man" that was used to promote jeans.

But one that I want, that I have heard of but not heard is a Maiden bra ad song by the Push-Ups.

Any idea how he got to use the name and logo? Thanks for the info. on Robert Parker. I sort of wondered why he recorded an instrumental.Todd Lucashttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01121569810897361036noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-11910289.post-1120740554057803152005-07-07T07:49:00.000-05:002005-07-07T07:49:00.000-05:00ToddHoliday Inn Records was Sam Phillips label aft...Todd<BR/>Holiday Inn Records was Sam Phillips label after Sun. I think the Robert Parker 45 might feature him on sax (he played in Professor Longhair's band) which might explain why there isn't much of a vocal there.<BR/>I'd love to hear those Real Don Steele airchecks. He went on to do some cameos in Roger Corman movies like Death Race 2000 and Rock and Roll High School.<BR/>LarryLarry Groganhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03515800274571731349noreply@blogger.com
