"Well, Dale Hawkins, out of Louisiana... yeah, everyone knows 'Suzie Q,' the megahit classic song written and recorded in 1957 by Dale and James Burton... and covered by EVERYONE! And some people know of Dale's successful production career with the likes of Mouse & The Traps, 5 Americans, Bruce Channel, Ronnie Self, Michael Nesmith and Harry Nilsson... a few even know of his years as a top DJ, TV host, and major label A&R man (for Bell and RCA), but even they will be surprised by this amazing album! Cut on his travels whilst producing all manner of records in the three Music Cities of the title, L.A., Memphis, & Tyler, Texas is a triumph of 1969 simmering swamp-rock/blues brilliance! Cut in three classic and legendary rock n' roll studios -- Joe Osborne's in L.A. (famed for the lost Jan and Dean album Save For A Rainy Day and the first Carpenters recordings!), Ardent in Memphis (home of so many legendary soul sessions, and the cult genius of Big Star), and Robin Hood Brians' in Tyler, Texas (home of so many garage legends and soul/country classics!). Featuring old pal James Burton (on the cusp of swapping sessioneering for the Elvis TCB Band!) and L.A. stalwarts Joe Osborne and Ry Cooder, as well as Taj Mahal, Mouse And The Traps and legendary soul horn player Wayne Jackson, all giving their best for an icon of blues, R&B and rockabilly. With intensified sound, innovative packaging, and a detailed liner note by Tim Tooher, this is an album you need in your life! Contemporary and on an artistic par with Dusty In Memphis and From Elvis In Memphis this is truly a missing link in rock and soul history!"

Title:	Oh! Suzy-Q
Label:	RUMBLE RECORDS
Format:	LP
Price:	$21.00
Catalog #:	RUM 2011001LP

"A true legend in his own way, the Louisiana born and bred Dale Hawkins is mostly known to the world for his all-time rockabilly classic 'Suzie Q', as made famous by Creedence Clearwater Revival in their successfully revived, million-seller 1968 version. One of the very few white artists on the legendary Chess label, although often overlooked, Dale Hawkins's contributions are as valid as any of rock 'n' roll's founding fathers, and his 1958 Oh! Suzy-Q debut is one of the best hidden rockabilly treasures of the fifties."
