Description
L.A., Memphis & Tyler, Texas is a 1969 cult classic by rockabilly legend Dale Hawkins, representing a significant artistic shift from his early Chess Records hits. Released on Bell Records under catalog number 6036, this album is a pioneering example of roots and swamp rock, blending blues, country, and soul with a distinctively laid-back, psychedelic atmosphere. Recorded across the three titular cities, it features an extraordinary cast of guest musicians including James Burton, Ry Cooder, Taj Mahal, and members of Mouse & The Traps. Notable tracks like Heavy On My Mind and his unhinged cover of Ruby, Don't Take Your Love To Town showcase Hawkins raw, expressive vocals and a deep-fried southern groove that influenced generations of artists. This original pressing is highly sought after by collectors for its historical importance and unique sonic character. This copy is preserved in excellent condition, offering a premium listening experience of this often-overlooked masterpiece.
