After 2 albums of customers’ requests, here is the third volume. The response so far has been incredible and I have a lot more songs to record with thanks to you, By Request. This album also pays tribute to two legendary guitarists – DUANE EDDY (REBEL ROUSER) and GARY MOORE (PARISIENNE WALKWAYS) and (STILL GOT THE BLUES) I'm sure you'll enjoy these very special recordings.
My tribute to the great country star MERLE HAGGARD made me record my rendition of SILVER WINGS. The lovely GO AWAY LITTLE GIRL is a UK hit for MARK WYNTER (US hit for Steve Lawrence) and you can see his quote on this page.
GENE VINCENT’s arrangement of BEAUTIFUL BROWN EYES is a rare treat I couldn’t resist, plus a couple of real oldies A HUNDRED POUNDS OF CLAY, based on GENE McDANIELS' original and MR. SANDMAN, I always liked THE CHORDETTES original recording in 1954.Several customers asked for VENUS by FRANKIE AVALON and DICKIE VALENTINE, both had great recordings of this song.
The album opens with SUGAR BABY LOVE a hit for The RUBETTES and is swiftly followed by another request WALK AWAY RENEE, I remember the very first version by The Left Banke, a bigger hit for THE FOUR TOPS.
Enjoy the music on this album, recorded Especially For You (Volume 11) there’s lots more to come!
