A great west coast swinger from Morris and his band which (to my ears) sounds like it included Speedy West and Jimmy Bryant. The A side is a fast-paced hillbilly bopper with clever, humourous lyrics - the type of song I could imagine Tennessee Ernie Ford covering with great aplomb. 541-B was picked up and recorded by Merrill E Moore on Capitol Records 3311. Jack also turns up on Sage Records from Hollywood, CA (“White Line” / “Stop Teasing me” - SAGE 228, “”Four Wheeled Bungalow” / “Glad I’m Looking Back On You” - SAGE 232). Note that both sides are not published by Starday, Starrite etc. A first! (MC)
