One night, one of the
wildest rock'n'roll party
was held in a small flat.
The Mad Daddy came and
started to play his
favorite records. Bottles
of booze were brought.
Somewhere in a dark
corner, near the kitchen,
you could see Link Wray
showing Chuck Berry
guitar chords he didn't
know and both were having
more fun they ever had
before. It was time to
order more bottles. Eddie
Cochran came, just before
catching a plane that
would fly him to England.
He loved what he heard,
plugged his guitar and,
with a little distortion,
started to play a wild
and frantic instrumental.
More bottles were opened
and emptied the following
minutes. Hey, who's that
knocking? It's Nat County
and Buddy Love (and some
booze too). The following
instant a mad cover of
Elvis' Heartbreak Hotel
was played. Ten more
bottles took their
journey to the bottle's
heaven. RIP. From the
window you could see a
young Lux Interior
watching the party. He
probably learned a thing
or two that night. John
Lee Hooker shouted for
more alcohol, Jimmy Lloys
gave him one, but in
exchange asked him how to
play that Boom Boom riff.
When the dawn came,
everyone went back home
to cure his hangover.
Sadly, it was long after
the wild party was over
that someone realised it
hadn't been recorded (probably
too much booze involved).
But don't despair !Nearly
five decades later, four
guys from Paris, France
managed to capture the
essence of that specific
night on a platter that
is hotter than lava. And
now, you dear reader, for
a ridiculous amount of
money (booze not included)
you can recreate it over
and over again.
Simply go here.
