JOHNNY RIVERS : POOR SIDE OF TOWN

One of my favorite songs since I was yet to be a teenager. First heard it on a scratched up 45rpm that was handed down. That record got played over and over again on a plastic kid record player - mono - the worn needle scratching deeper.

COMMENTARY ON ERSEL HICKEY YOU THREW A DART

Wes Bryan tells me that Johnny Rivers said, in more recent times, that 1950's early Rock and Roller and singer-songwriter, Ersel Hickey was "Really The First Punk rocker." This song proves it to me. I've been listening to it - and other early rock and roll tunes all day as we upgrade WES BRYAN - MY LIFE IN MUSIC. We're having a good time!
