HOW HIGH THE MOON

Hank Williams dug him.  Jerry Lee Lewis dug him.  That there is all that you should need to give Moon Mullican a listen.  He was capable of all sorts of styles, from rockabilly to swing, but hillbilly boogie was his bread and butter.  Listen to the songs below and tell me you don't hear the missing link between Hank Williams and Jerry Lee Lewis.  If you need another reason to dig into his stuff, there's this quote: " "We gotta play music that'll make them goddamn beer bottles bounce on the table."  Amen!


Stick around until :37 and try to resist a "holy fuck!"

I used to play "Seven Nights to Rock" when we dj-ed at the Panther! Love that song!
