"Gallopin'" Cliff Gallup, Vincent's guitarist, was on a par with Scotty Moore, whose guitar licks "made" Elvis's early songs. I also think Gallup was ahead of his time. His fluidity and guitar creativity would have made him a rock star today.
stray cats brought me here. I love the stray cats and I found out that they did a lot of gene Vincent covers and I loved the songs so I decided to listen to him and wow. I just love it. the stray cats did an awesome job of playing and spreading this music
The guitar player is Johnny Meeks and a very good one at that. I was very fortunate to be able to actually meet him yesterday in my hometown. Thanks Johnny you're a hero in my book.
that guy on the left has an 80's new wave/punk hair! How cool are they? So ahead of their time and I've never even heard of them until I came across this.
