Nice tribute to the late Country Dick Montana at The Belly Up in Solana Beach, CA, November 2010. From the Utoobage:
Dave Alvin sings the song “Beat Generation“, and is joined by members of the Beat Farmers, Candy Kane, Peter Case, Mojo Nixon, Cindy Lee Berryhill, and others…
Here’s Dave Alvin & The Blasters with “Marie Marie.” I saw them at the Whiskey in 1980.
Another band from the punkabilly scene: Levi & The Rockats on the Mike Douglas Show, 1979. (That hepcat on bass is hilarious.)
Reverend Horton Heat’s “Psychobilly Freakout.” [Don’t watch if you’re epileptic…]
Johnny Carroll & His Hot Rocks “Rockin’ Maybelle” is the real deal from about 1957.
Too hot to handle and too cold to hold. Those should keep you jumpin’ jivin’ and wailin’ for a while. See you back here tomorrow.
