Willie, Kevin & Todd - Be My Baby ( 1991 ) 7'' 

Label : ROCK-A-BILLY RECORD COMPANY, Denver / CO, U.S.A. ( R-112-B ) 

Be My Baby ( Record ) 

Trax : Charlene ( by Billie & The Bop-Cats ) / Be My Baby 

Recorded in Denver / CO, U.S.A. 

Info : This record is actually somewhat of a surprise. First of all, it has two different 'bands' on it. Second, the original flipside 'Lil' Pig Rock' was left off the record because Willie's nephew, Mike Montoya, who wrote the song and played lead guitar on it, asked Willie not to release the song. As the label-stickers were already made, Willie had to have new ones printed for the B-side, thus making this the only ROCK-A-BILLY release with two different labels ! Third and last, the original version of 'Be My Baby' featured only Willie and Kevin, Todd Wulfmeyer overdubbed his steel guitar later. The undubbed master can be heard on 'Willie Lewis - The Early, Rare & Wild Side', an LP issued by Sven Bergmann on his BOP-LAND label ( BL 702 ) in 1997.

Info : Kevin plays string bass ..... WARNING ! This is NOT a Rockabilly record ! The style is kind of hard to define, it's really basically plain old-time music like Ragtime, Country Blues and a bit of Jazz ( at least I think I've heard those elements in there ), but actually it's a lot more than just that, listen to it and you'll know what I mean !
