Rock and Roll Floozy Volume 6: Pauline

Sixth in a series of rock and roll roots that focus on lesser known artists from the fabulous 1950s,“Pauline” is a collection of 28 songs focusing on girls, not necessarily from the other side of the tracks, but on the more playful side of life.Compared to today’s standards, these girls would be giving talks of abstinence to High School Students, but such is the culture of the times. The songs are mostly in the rockabilly or R&B of the time, with a heavy dose of influence from the Everly Brothers on The Marcus Brothers’ ‘Little Girl In Pigtails. There’s a large wake of Johnny Cash and Elvies with well known artist like Johnny Rivers blueing out “Baby, Come Back and Conway Twitty hiccupping through “Foggy River”. Jazzer Al Casey hits the juke  joint on”If I Told You” and teenage romance at the sock hop is prevalent on “You Get A Thrill”, “Watch Your Step” and “Apron Strings”. All innocent by todays’ standards, but with a wink in the mischievous eye. Kimono my house.
