Jo Ann Campbell, Jackie Dee, Brenda Lee, Nedra Price...

I promised a post of upbeat rockabilly ages ago. When I promise something, I do (usually) carry through eventually. This will be a long one; hold tight.




Jo Ann Campbell

I'm Nobody's Baby (1959)
Wassa Matter With You Baby?
Self-penned 1958 awesome. Campbell is a hero.



Jackie Dee

Best Of...1958-1980: Come and Get Me (2000)
Buddy
a.k.a. Jackie DeShannon. She recorded this in 1959 when she was fifteen and wore gold pants. Later, she'd be responsible for "When You Walk Into the Room," which is pretty much the pinnacle.



Brenda Lee

Anthology (1956-1980) (1991)
Bigelow 6-200
This song is penned by Don Woody, who is a pretty great singer in his own right.



Nedra Price

Sugar Doll (2005)
Let's Have a Party
I want to meet this girl.



Lou & Ginny

Sugar Doll (2005)
Do I Do Right?
yeah, I like Sugar Doll...



Penny Candy

The Rockin' Lady (1959)
The Rockin' Lady
Discovered this in a big bag of my dad's 45s a while ago. Became obsessed.
