DRUGSTORE ROCK 'N' ROLL
(Janis Martin)
JANIS MARTIN (RCA 47-6491, 1956)

Rock-bop-jump-thump, rock 'n' roll
Drugstore's rockin', rock-rock
Couples are boppin', bop-bop
Jukebox jumpin', jump-jump
Feet keep thumpin', thump-thump
Drugstore's real gone man
Rock-bop-jump-thump, rock 'n' roll

Drugstore on the corner of main
That's where you find all the be-bop gang
The girls fill the jukebox and then demand
The jitterbug hand-in-hand
The boys have crew-cuts under their hats
The girls have leather sweaters, real cool cats
They're always together happy an' hep
Jumpin' to a rock 'n' roll step

Drugstore's rockin', rock-rock
Couples are boppin', bop-bop
Jukebox jumpin', jump-jump
Feet keep thumpin', thump-thump
Drugstore's real gone man
Rock-bop-jump-thump, rock 'n' roll

Drugstore's rockin', rock-rock
Couples are boppin', bop-bop
Jukebox jumpin', jump-jump
Feet keep thumpin', thump-thump
Drugstore's real gone man
Rock-bop-jump-thump, rock 'n' roll

The records have a slow beat, a fast beat too
As long as they're rockin' any beat will do
Kittens gettin' groovy all over the floor
And the cats are cryin' for more
Take time out for a soda pop
Dig a new record with a lot of bop
Ice cream cones and banana split
Ten jumps ahead of a fit

Drugstore's rockin', rock-rock
Couples are boppin', bop-bop
Jukebox jumpin', jump-jump
Feet keep thumpin', thump-thump
Drugstore's real gone man
Rock-bop-jump-thump, rock 'n' roll

The Drugstore's Rockin' Vol.1


Bear Family BCD 16339

Released: 2002

The hopes and dreams of young America in a more innocent age. The days when composers wrote songs about people called Norman and Barbara. The young kids with big guitars, floppy curls, check jackets, who are now real estate salesmen, auto dealers and ministers in the church of God. This wonderful Bear Family CD tells 26 stories about real people who cared about their music in the short period from 1956 to 1963.
There’s Billy Harlan, who neglected to sign his contract with RCA so his confident Bo Diddley-style rocker Teen Jean Jive was never released. There’s the songwriting dentist who wrote a charming but un-memorable flop for Chuck and Bill (on this CD), hits for Elvis and was last heard of as… a dentist. There’s early work by Joe South, Paul Evans, Jack Clement and Boots Randolph, names which convey a lot to people who like music of that era. There are might-have-beens or nearly-weres like Darrell McCall, whose Dear One knocks spots off composer Larry Finnegan’s hit version; or The Sprouts, two tiny guys who hung around the scene for years without selling many discs.
There are wonderful records like the Four Preps’ Big Man, a commercial radio hit in the UK in the 1960s but actually recorded in 1958; John D. Loudermilk’s laid back version of his cute song Angela Jones, and Sue Thompson’s effervescent love song to Norman - a record I loved in its day without knowing that the girlie-voiced singer was actually in her 40s. There’s hitmaker Jack Scott, Roy Orbison’s co-writer Joe Melson, and great unknowns like Ric Cartey and the Lane Brothers - so near but so far from that elusive hit status.
And then there’s one Jackie Dee, with her masterful self-composed rocker Buddy, reputedly recorded in Nashville after Brenda Lee’s My baby likes Western Guys studio session. In fact most of the songs here were recorded in Nashville, giving the lie to those who believe that New York and L.A. were the hitmaking epicentres of teen America at that time.
This is a beautifully presented CD; a credit to all involved. Including those unknown artists.

Vol.2, The Drugstore's Rockin'


Bear Family BCD 16607 2002

Like Volume 1, this collection features classic and obscure rockabilly and early rock and roll performances. The packaging is of the highest quality, with biographical information and photos of each artist.
There are some minor hitmakers (Curtis Lee, Floyd Robinson, John D. Loudermilk, Sonny James, Dorsey Burnette, Jack Scott), but the main attraction here are the few hot rockabilly cuts. We have two tracks from Janis Martin, one of the few successful female rockabilly artists. We have the original (and definitive) recording of Young Love, by its author Ric Cartey, taking a break from his usual seminal vocal performances. We have a great catchy track from the tragic Tommy Tucker. We have Dave Rich going crazy on Rosie Let’s Get Crazy. We have the great Jack Clement singing from The Edge of Town.
But the most exciting news here is the discovery of an unreleased track by Jackie Dee. I Need Lovin’ was recorded in 1958 in Nashville at the same session as Buddy and Strolypso Dance, but has remained unreleased and undiscovered until this time. And what a find it is! It is the hottest rockabilly cut of Jackie’s career, rivalled only by her version of Trouble for sheer sexiness and sass.
Starting with pounding, repetitive piano chords and a honking baritone sax, Jackie’s teenage voice sounds wise beyond her years as she breathlessly pleads for somebody to love. It is the musical embodiment of pure carnal lust. The greasy sax break builds the tension to a frenzy as Jackie repeats her plea on the fadeout… "I need lovin"…
The writer of the track is unknown, but even though Jackie wrote the other two songs on this recording session, it is doubtful that she composed this tune. It is unlike the rest of her original material of the period, and lacks the innocence found in her early songs. But no matter who wrote it, it ranks as one of Jackie’s greatest vocal performances.
It may have taken forty-two years to reach our ears, but it was well worth the wait

Vol.3, The Drugstore's Rockin'

Bear Family BCD 16608 2003


It seems those wild and crazy collectors at Bear Family never seem to get to the bottom of the barrel when it comes to early rock & roll gems. This third volume of sock hop rock, Drugstore's Rockin', Vol. 3, is chock-full of dynamite, and a couple of sweeter than sweet duds, but that's to be expected. The killer stuff, such as Janis Martin's "Drugstore Rock 'N' Roll," Earl Sinks' "House of Blue Lights," Bonnie Guitar's "Love Is Over," and the inclusion (and rightfully so) of Louis Prima's "Buona Sera" and Ronnie Toth's "Someone Like You," are alone worth the price of this little slab, though there are 26 cuts in all.

Tracks:

01. Janis Martin - Drugstore Rock`n Roll
02. Barry De Vorzon - Hey Little Darlin
03. Bobby Edwards - Someone New
04. The Crickets - Right Or Wrong
05. Earl Sinks - Maggie
06. Kenny Loran - Sugar`n A Kiss
07. Judd Hamilton - Dream
08. Nick Greene - My Lovin`baby
09. Joe Dowell - Bridge Of Love
10. Earl Sinks - The House Of Blue Lights
11. Bonnie Guitar - Half Your Heart
12. Barry De Vorzon - Across The Street From Your House
13. Ned Miller - Do What You Do, Do Well
14. Bobby Edwards - Here`s My Heart
15. Johnny Rose - The Last One To Know
16. Dwayne Hickman - School Dance
17. Ronny Toth - Someone Like You
18. Louis Prima - Buona Sera
19. Hoke Simson - I Finally Found You
20. Johnny Fallin - If I Could Wtite A Love Song
21. The Crickets - Playboy
22. Bonnie Guitar - Love Is Over, Love Is Done
23. Marv & Patty Rainwater - Two Fools In Love
24. Ned Miller - Just Before Dawn
25. Johnny Rose - It Started With A Kiss
26. Kenny Loran - One More Record Please




Vol.4, The Drugstore's Rockin'

Bear Family BCD 16678
Release Date :Oct 07, 2003
Recording Date: Mar 8, 1956-Nov 1, 1965


After years of putting out exemplary reissues of classic country, rockabilly, and roots rock material, Germany's Bear Family has tiptoed into the uncharted waters of teen-centric pop/rock of the 1950s and '60s with the The Drugstore's Rockin' series, and Vol. 4 proves that the label is treating these rare sides with the care and enthusiasm that is Bear Family's hallmark. These cuts cover all the bases: rockabilly-lite (Janis Martin's swingin' "Drugstore Rock 'n' Roll"), stepped-up country ("Don't Pretend" by Bobby Edwards and Earl Sinks' "Shake 'Em Up and Let 'Em Roll"), romantic melodrama ("Love at First Sight" by Bobby Louis and "Penny Moved Away" by Barry de Vorzon), moody narratives ("April Avenue" by the post-Buddy Holly Crickets and "Johnny Vagabond" by the memorably named Bonnie Guitar), jazzy dance tunes (Sam Butera's "Bim Bam"), and lots, lots more. While some of these cuts have a high treacle quotient, there's a lot of fine picking to be heard (often featuring some high-powered behind-the-scenes session men), and even the weakest artists on board (bottom of the class would probably be a pre-Dobie Gillis Dwayne Hickman) are miles ahead of the Fabian/Frankie Avalon axis of prefab teen idols.
