Late career Ronnie Self, once coined "Mr. Frantic" for his wild stage presence and scorching rockabilly 45s like "Bop-A-Lena", "Ain't I'm A Dog", "Pretty Bad Blues" and others. I had "high" hopes for an unknown rocker when I dug this up- Ronnie Self produced by none other than Dale "Suzie Q" Hawkins, but here he sounds more like Lorenzo St. DuBois from Mel Brooks' The Producers.

I still love it- rockers can be a dime a dozen, but weird is priceless.

Dig these lyrics (and the sound effects): Green hickory wood will make your fireplace pop/But man try to tell that to a Frisco cop/He choked me with my beads and shoved me down for pot/And said that long strong daddy was going to blow my top/He finally hauled me in for possession of.../Love... and a pocket knife/And I was only high on life

It's been awhile since I've had a good score out digging- some goodies from this weekend that may have come from legendary Bay Area KSAN R&B DJ Ol "Jumpin" George (at least the Marigolds 45). Killer stuff, thanks, George!
