SIDE A = Come On   SIDE B = Slowly But Surely

Sleazy Records / SR85

Another 7" in the great Sleazy Records' Original Rockin' Series. This time, the chosen artist is Wynn Stewart, an influential singer in 50's Hillbilly made in the West Coast of the USA or, to be more precise, of the Bakersfield Sound. Wynn Stewart, even though he developed his career in California, was born in Missouri... but if you want to know more about his biography, the sleeve notes, by Carlos A. del Bosque, are really informative.

Side A is for "Come On", a Rockabilly recorded in 1958. It is an alternative take of the one chosen to be published in that same year on the Jackpot label. A good Rockabilly song in the style of what was being done at the end of the 50's.

"Slowly But Surely", the song on side B, was recorded a couple of years before and was published on the Capitol label. It is a Hillbilly song in which fiddle takes the lead. In this song it is important to read the list of musicians, where we will find, along with Wynn Stewart, names such as Joe Maphis (guitar), Skeets McDonald (bass) or Eddie Cochran himself (guitar, of course). Top names, no doubt.

A good 45, yes indeed, of one of the most influential names of the music that was being done in the Golden State during the 50's.

It has to be said: thank you Sleazy Records for the wonderful Original Rockin' Series.
