One of my favorites from the 40's, i love this song. The solos are pure rock and roll and the verses are very catchy.
@richarddewitt2072
It is the "Western" influence of the late 40s ( including Arthur Smith Guitar Boogie 1945) that inspired Bill Haley to merge R&B with "Western" music. The rest is Rock & Roll history.

How can this song not have 1 million likes !!???
@LuisRodriguez-ge2wf
Heard this song tonight while riding the Dollywood engine train. Quite catchy and appropriate tune. Love that harmonica. Thanks for sharing.
@brod7501
Lively tune. The bassline isn't boogie-woogie but the guitar comes in with a boogie-woogie lick.
@ratherknotty
Very good, respectful bio, I think they lead the way, first with dual harmony( before both the Monroe brothers and also the Blue Sky Boys and other copy- cats) so they were overwhelmed by imitators. Then they were one of the first into Boogie, and it happened again !!!! so many jumped on the bandwagon, actually copying their songs they got swamped again!!!!!! We have the privilege to be able to savour their musicianship and the lasting legacy they have left behind.
