These days, I work in search of information and artifacts relating to the early days of rock'n'roll in Quebec. An exhibition will follow the next few months. This project is an initiative of the Museum of rock'n'roll . Stay tuned!
Here's a disc that I heard during this research but, because of its release date, must be subtracted the selection of the exhibition.
Guy Ferrel, whose real name is Gerard Thibodeau, was a true love of rock'n'roll. It has launched a handful of 45 rpm and remains somewhat obscure.
Ferrel launches its first 45 laps early in the summer of 1965. According to the ranking Disc-o-Logue Collections Canada, the first single would have climbed to top 50 ranking period in June and July '65.
Guy Ferrel - Lucille
Despite popular success, commercial success, He does not seem to go. This 45 rpm is very difficult to trace today. Especially with its beautiful cover photo that shows a smiling Ferrel on-looks-almost-cracking and shows her wonderful Gibson SG. The easiest way to put the tab on the song, it's still hard to find compilation The biggest current hit on which it appears. His version of
Lucille is incredible, unique, excellent!
It starts with a strange effect Echolette - not unlike that heard on Walking Martians Pharaohs.
Then, throughout the songs, we Ferrel Guy launches LUCILLE! a sensationalist tone, supported by a strange chorus. Other
interesting feature ... When you listen well the song is meant Guy ferrel counting time of the song in the background "1-2-3" ... to what I read, these statements should have been removed to the mix. In my opinion, it adds a little singular element that makes this version even more unique.
Speaking of "1-2-3" in 1966, Ferrell recorded a cover of the song blue eyed soul 1-2-3 Len Barry. The result is excellent. I found this song on the blog yesterday was . Thank you!
Guy Ferrell - 1-2-3
The B side of the 45 towers 1-2-3 is a cover of It's A Man's, Man's, Man's World the Soul Brother # 1, James Brown. Ferrel was a clear intention to attack a soul and R & B repertoire.
There are also a cover of his discography Come on let's go Richie Valens under the name Dance . I look forward to that!
As an extra, the B-side single Lucille, the song Wherever you are, the less interesting, but still even very good, in a more pop.
Guy Ferrel - Wherever you
