Joe Maphis
joins Eddie Cochran as second lead guitar on 'Rockin' & Flyin' from take 5.
'Fast Jivin' is an instrumental backing track of 'Rockin' & 'Flyin' and
released under the name of Ernie Freeman. The song 'Mary Jane' will most
probably stay unreleased "as the band sounds disjointed and confused with
the changes in tempo from latino to uptempo country." (from: 'Don't
Forget Me' by Julie Mundy and Darrel Higham). |

Ernie Freeman (born 16 August 1922, Cleveland, Ohio - died 16 May 1981,
Hawaii) was an American pianist and arranger. He played on numerous early
rock and R&B sessions in Los Angeles in the 1950s, particularly on the
Specialty, Modern, and Aladdin labels, as well as for white artists such as
Duane Eddy and Bobby Vee. He issued a number of instrumental records of his
own, including his cover of Bill Justis' "Raunchy" in 1957, which became his
biggest solo success. He also played lead on the B. Bumble and the Stingers
records, apart from "Nut Rocker". He continued a successful session career
in the 1960s, appearing on material by Frank Sinatra, Dean Martin and Connie
Francis, and becoming musical director with Reprise Records. He won a Grammy
in 1967 for Sinatra's "Strangers In The Night". In 1970 he contributed
string arrangements to Simon and Garfunkel's Bridge Over Troubled Water
album, before his retirement later in the decade (Wikipedia). |

|
| |
Joe Maphis,
born Otis W. Maphis (1921–1986), was an American country music guitarist. He
married singer Rose Lee Maphis in 1948. One of the flashiest country
guitarists of the 1950s and 1960s, Joe Maphis was known as The King of the
Strings. He was able to play any stringed instrument with great facility.
However, he specialized in dazzling guitar virtuosity. Working out of
Bakersfield, California, he rose to prominence with his own hits such as
"Dim Lights, Thick Smoke (and Loud, Loud Music)" as well as playing with
acts like Johnny Burnette, The Collins Kids, Wanda Jackson, Rose Maddox and
Ricky Nelson. His playing was an influence on such greats as Merle Travis,
Jimmy Bryant and Chet Atkins. He was known for his use of a double-neck
Mosrite guitar, specially built for him by Semie Moseley, which was a boon
to Moseley's fledgling career as a guitar builder. He was a regular guest on
the Jimmy Dean television show in the 1960's (Wikipedia). |

It is
still uncertain if Eddie Cochran is present on these Don Deal sides. This is what
Paul Vidal says about it: "Contrary to belief, though, it is not Eddie
Cochran
who plays lead guitar on
these sides but Joe Maphis,
probably with Ralph Mooney on steel. However, it is Hank Cochran who
supplies the harmony vocal to 'Cryin' In One Eye.'" On the contrary Don Deal
has stated many times that the Cochran Brothers are on these sides. The
biographies of Julie Mundy/Darrel Higham and Bob Cochran lists these songs
with Eddie Cochran on guitar so therefore they are included in these
sessions pages. These
tracks were made available on RSR-LP 1019 'Thinkin'
About You'.

Tom
Forse was born in Augustine, Texas in 1934, dropping the name
Beamon in his early years, preferring to use his middle name. Along with his
brotherTed began his career playing a radio show every Saturday at noon, for
station KTXI based in Jasper, Texas. He also appeared on the Louisiana
Hayride and Grand Prize Jamboree in Houston between 1954/55. During this
same period, Tom, his brother ted and Charlie Craddock took off for New
Mexico, to work at the Sports Arena in Framington. Tom's job was to book
acts, mainly top country & western artists for the Saturday night; one
person that Tom booked was Terry Fell, who also well as owning a couple of
small record labels, had a few minor hit records at this time. Tom was a
talented songwriter; Terry Fell would give him $100 every time he sent him a
song. During 1956 Terry persuaded Tom to come to Los Angeles to so some
recordings for him (information from booklet SPRCD 5002 (Bill Beard)). |

Winford Lindsey Stewart
(born June 7, 1934 in Morrisville, Missouri, was an
American country music performer. He was one of the
progenitors of the Bakersfield sound. Although not a
huge chart success, he was an inspiration to such greats
as Buck Owens and Merle Haggard. The Stewart family
moved west from Missouri during World War II and finally
settled in Huntington Park, California in 1948. While
still in school, Stewart formed a band and started
touring clubs, with his father chaperoning. It was at
this time that he also made his first recording -- a
cover of Eddy Arnold's Anytime. After graduating
high school in 1951, he began entering talent contests
sponsored by a local radio station. It was there that he
met long-time collaborator, pedal steel guitarist Ralph
Mooney. In 1954 he signed his first recording contract
with the independent label Intro Records, where he
recorded the single I've Waited a Lifetime b/w
Strolling. This gained the attention of Skeets
McDonald, who set him up with an audition with Capitol
Records. His first hit with Capitol was Waltz of the
Angels, in 1956. Unhappy with the direction Capitol
was taking with the Nashville sound, Stewart left the
label after only a few years. After a string of moderate
hits with Challenge, Stewart re-signed with Capitol in
1965, and in 1969 had a #1 hit with It's Such a
Pretty World Today. In 1975 he moved to Playboy
Records, where he had a Top Ten hit with After the
Storm. He started his own WIN Records an 1978, but
changing tastes in music and problems with alcohol
brought his career to a standstill. While preparing to
launch a comeback in 1985, Stewart suffered a heart
attack and died at his home in Hendersonville, Tennessee
on July 17, 1985. |

Best known for his
self-penned chart-topper "Don't Let the Stars Get in
Your Eyes," Skeets McDonald was a honky tonk
singer and songwriter whose work helped serve to bridge
the gap between country and rock & roll. The youngest of
seven children, Enos William McDonald was born on
October 1, 1915, in Greenway, AR, and earned his
nickname after an incident involving a swarm of
mosquitoes. He became interested in music at a young age
and when his older brother moved to Michigan several
years later, McDonald followed and joined his first
band, the Lonesome Cowboys, in Detroit in 1935. He
continued to perform on local radio stations until he
was drafted to serve in World War II in 1943. After
returning from battle, McDonald began performing on a
Detroit-area television program and in 1950 cut his
first records with fiddler Johnnie White & His Rough
Riders. In 1951, McDonald and his family moved to Los
Angeles, where he was signed to perform on Cliffie
Stone's TV program Hometown Jamboree. Soon after, he
joined Capitol Records and in 1952 released "Don't Let
the Stars Get in Your Eyes," by far his biggest hit. His
music's evolution from honky tonk to straightforward
rockabilly proved to be influential with other musicians.
In 1959, McDonald signed with Columbia, which mandated
that he return to country music. In the early '60s, he
notched a handful of hits, including "Call Me Mr.
Brown," which reached the Top Ten in 1963. As the decade
wore on, he began branching out from the West Coast
music scene, recording in Nashville and appearing on the
Grand Ole Opry. Despite the country industry's shift
towards slicker, more pop-oriented productions, McDonald
remained a purist throughout his career; he died on
March 31, 1968, after suffering a massive heart attack (based
on Jason Ankeny, All Music Guide). |

Jack Lewis was born in Dallas, Texas in 1926. He and his brother
Jim moved to Caliafornia in the late forties, where they are believed to
have led a band fronted by vocalist Jim. Both brothers are known to have
recorded demo's, individually for American Music, the publishing firm
founded by Sylvester Cross in 1946. Jack Lewis cut at least five singles
for Crest between 1954 and 1957. He made a one-off single for the Arwin
label in 1958. Lewis moved back to Dallas in the late fifties (booklet
Rocktar RSRCD 009). |

The Liberty
Label started business in 1955 and was based in Hollywood, California.
Their first few releases were jazz or pop orchestral things, but their
sixth release was a winner with Julie London's 'Cry Me A River' (reprised
in the classic R&R movie 'The Girl Can't Help It' which also featured
Liberty artists Eddie Cochran, Abbey Lincoln and Johnny Olenn. They had
success with Patience & Prudence before the king of Liberty appeared
in the form of Eddie Cochran. Eddie was the rock & roll start of the
label as well as valued sessionman on a number of releases. The label
started their subsidiary Freedom and eventually bought Dolton of Seattle,
Washington as they were distributing their product. Liberty acted like any
major label in that they recorded the whole spectrum of styles in music.
Bobby Vee and Johnny Burnette had huge success with their pop rock styles
and the label even tried to break Australia's king of rock & roll
Johnny O'Keefe in the U.S. Later business dealings saw the label take over
Imperial (with their Aladdin masters) and merge with United Artists and
eventually be swallowed up by Capitol (E.M.I.) (booklet CD-55001). |
