Huleyn Duvall
Huelyn Duvall, a true legend of 50’s rock’n’roll music. “Three Month To Kill” was recorded in 1958 at the Owen Bradley Studios in Nashville, Tennessee with such highlight musicians as Hank Garland and Grady Martin on guitar, Floyd Cramer on piano, Buddy Harmon on Drums and The Jordanaires on backup vocals. It must have been a big thrill for a 17 year old kid to cut these great rock’n’roll tunes with such
great pickers. It’s No wonder was recorded in 1958 at The Clifford Herring Studios in Forth Worth, Texas. Sugar Coated Love and Green River was recorded in Frisco, Texas in 2005 and are released here for the first time. Sugar Coated Love is an old Lazy Lester blues tune that Huelyn changed to rockabilly. Green River is the well known Creedence song cut here in a great raw version.Check out his new CD, Get Carried Away on Goofin’ Record where he is backed by Wildfire Willie and The Ramblers. www.goofinrecords.com. www.huleynduvall.com

West 45
This band was born when the leadguitarist of the surfband Tumbleweed, Johan Torstensson came up with the idea of getting a gig at the Midsommarrock in Vintjärn, Sweden. He called the arrenger, told him that they where going to invite the rockabillysinger Curly Phillips to do some songs and that they wanted to do the Midsommarrock. The result was a new name for this lineup and these three great recordings, all selfpenned by Hans “Curly Phillips” Adeström, recorded exlusively for this Midsommarrock compilation. The song "Faster Than A Tornado" has already been on the local radio toplist, Siljanstoppen for a few weeks during the spring of 2008. This turned out to be a great countryrockband with some rockabilly and surf mixed in it."
