Well friends, this story starts out sad but end in a brilliant rockabilly song. Johnny saw on Twitter then read on the NYT that 1950's contemporary of Wanda Jackson, Lorrie Collins who performed to some live success with her brother Larry, passed away this week. The Times had an awesome writeup on her career with her brother (If you click here you can see a very famous song Larry wrote long after the Collins Kids had stopped performing together) and how the pair from Oklahoma really wowed audiences with their frenetic rockabilly style but radio never knew what to do with them and their record company didn't exactly do much to promote them. Do read the article, it's a good one.
Yes, Johnny promised a really good song and he'll now deliver, 'Hoy Hoy' from 1958. So fucking good.
