Hawkins became a regular on WWVA Jamboree from 1945 to 1954 in Wheeling, West Virginia. In 1946, he signed a recording contract with King Records in Cincinnati, Ohio. His first two recordings with King, "Pan American" and "Dog House Boogie", were top ten country hits.
On March 5, 1963, after finishing a gig with Patsy Cline and Cowboy Copas, Hawkins was killed in a devastating plane crash with them. In 1962 he recorded his biggest hit, "Lonesome 7-7203". It first appeared on the Billboard country chart as a March 2, 1963 release, three days before Hawkins died.

They became the house band at New York's Electric Circus. Cat Mother was initially managed by Michael Jeffery, who also co-managed Hendrix. Cat Mother opened for Hendrix on several occasions, as a result. Other notable early appearances included playing at the Toronto Rock and Roll Revival. Because of this connection they were able to get Jimi Hendrix to produced their first album, the only album Jimi produced for another band.

Liverpool UK
John Lennon: vocal, rhythm guitar

The Beatles recorded two Larry Williams songs during a single 10 May 1965 session: Bad Boy and Dizzy Miss Lizzy, both sung by John Lennon.

45 single bw Let’s Get Out: Taz Records T1005
Milwaukee Wisconsin
Danny Roman aka Pete Garza: lead vocals
Larry Lynn: drums
Others not known to me
Produced 1959
One of the few releases on the little Taz Records label. (It has nothing to do with Taz Records of Halifax / Dartmouth, Nova Scotia). The Rock-A-Tones seemed to back up various singers but I haven’t found any useful information about the band. They also backed songwriter Irma Garza who released a 45 on the Mayte label out of Linn, Texas.

Unknown hammer player
Unknown drummer
Produced by Don Law, 1961
Jimmy Ray Dean b. August 10, 1928 Plainview, TX / d. June 13, 2010 (81) Varina, Virginia
Big Bad John won Dean the 1962 Grammy Award for Best Country & Western Recording. Country pianist Floyd Cramer, who was hired to play piano on the song, came up with the idea to use a hammer and a piece of steel instead. This became a distinctive characteristic of the recording.
Country Yossi, an Orthodox Jewish composer and singer, parodied "Big Bad John" as "Big Bad Moish". The song's title has also been the target of many jokes, in reference to toilets.

11. Johnny Winter: Bad Luck and Trouble
(J Winter)
The Progressive Blues Experiment: Imperial Records – LP 12431
Beaumont, Texas
Johnny Winter, National Steel, mandolin, harmonica, vocals
Produced by Bill Josey and Rim Kelly, 1969
Recorded by Rim Kelley at Vulcan Gas Company, Austin, 1968
First issued on Sonobeat Records 1968
Winter’s debut album was recorded it in August 1968 at the Vulcan Gas Company, an Austin music club and was released on a small, local label called Sonobeat Records. After the release of his ‘officially’ first LP for Columbia which put Johnny over the top, Progressive Blues was sold to Imperial Records who decided to cash in on Winter’s fame at the time. For most of us, this was actually the second Johnny Winter album. It’s more primal, cuts into the roots of the blues but still has the fire of a super-hot guitar slinger.
12. Ennio Morricone: The Good, The Bad and The Ugly theme

Ennio Morricone commented about the music he created for Sergio Leone’s spaghetti Westerns in 2007: "Some of the music was written before the film, which was unusual. Leone's films were made like that because he wanted the music to be an important part of it; he kept the scenes longer because he did not want the music to end." According to Morricone this explains "why the films are so slow".

Hans Schleuter (bass)
John Doddridge (drums)
Gordon "Junior" Dix (guitar)
Peter Jermyn (organ)

Produced by Ted Gerow 1967
The band Thee Deuces was originally formed in 1964 in Almonte south-west of Ottawa as an instrumental group who performed for nearly a full year at Inter-Provincial Hotel in Hull, Quebec as the house band.
By the summer of 1967, the band decided to update their name - The Heart - and their sound by adding former Luke & The Apostles keyboardist Peter Jermyn. But Jermyn would leave again in 1968 to form The Modern Rock Quartet with former Esquires members Doug Orr and Robert Coulthart. The Heart then recruited Corbin and Arseneault from The Five D for one more single called "Yesterday Was a Dream" on RCA at Christmas that year. The act lasted only until the Spring of 1969.
Sir John A Records - Named after Canada's first Prime Minister, was a label that existed for less than 2 years. Formed to celebrate Canada's centennial year in 1967 by local Ottawa personality John Pozer and musician/artist Ron Greene - the label tapped into some of the Ottawa area's hottest up and coming bands. The records issued on the label were very limited pressings of 100 - 500 quantities.

John-Paul Jones: bass
John Bonham: drums
Robert Plant: vocals
Produced by Jimmy Page, 1969
Recorded at Olympic Studios, London Sept – Oct 1968 by Glyn Johns
"Good Times Bad Times" was a commercial-sounding track that was considered as the group's debut single in the UK, and released as such in the US. As well as showcasing the whole band and their new heavy style, it featured a catchy chorus and a variety of guitar overdubs.[22] Despite being a strong track, it was seldom performed live by Led Zeppelin.
Hour Two
1. Oscar Peterson: I’ve Got It Bad And That Ain’t Good
(Ellington / Webster)
In Russia: Pablo Records 2625-711
Montreal / Mississauga
Oscar Peterson: piano
Produced by Norman Granzinsky, 1976
Recorded Tallinn, Estonia, Nov 17, 1974
Interestingly, it’s called “In Russia” but the actual performance of this double album took place in Tallinn, Estonia! But it was all considered a communist block of countries under the USSR. Estonia, like Latvia and Lithuania, were totally controlled back then by the Kremlin. This album documents a milestone for “western” jazz in the Soviet bloc. Side one was Oscar alone while the other sides of the album include some backup players. The response is audible.

By 1970, long after they dropped the white hair and suit gimmick, they released several more singles in French including a version of the Guess Who's "These Eyes". Les Classels were the first rock band in Quebec to receive gold records based on sales. This was the band that Montreal newspapers were calling ‘The Quebec Beatles’.

Bailey taught himself to play guitar and began performing at the age of 12. The Bad Apple was his first single, a rockabilly song which took him to recording studios in Toronto to make several other singles for the Chateau label. He had to wait until he was signed to Dominion Records before releasing the first of seven LPs. Because he didn’t like to stray far from his hometown, he didn’t get the breaks that many of his contemporaries had. He wound down his recording career in the 1980s and died of heart failure at the age of 49.

While trying to find a suitable name, band member Rick Mars remembered an incident that occurred when he was playing with a band called White Horse, when one of the other band members called the group "a motley looking crew". He had remembered the phrase and later copied it down as 'Mottley Cru'. After modifying the spelling slightly, "Mötley Crüe" was eventually selected as the band's name, with the stylistic decision suggested by vocalist Vince Neil to add the two sets of metal umlauts, supposedly inspired by the German beer Löwenbräu, which the members were drinking at the time.
