THE NASHVILLE TEENS
TOBACCO ROAD / GOOGLE EYE
ORIGINAL LONDON RECORS STEREO RELEASE PS 407
Formed in 1962, The Nashville Teens were the product of the merger of two local bands in the Weybridge, Surrey, area. The band were unusual in that hey retained two lead singers - Ray Phillips and Arthur Sharp. The name was derived from the Everly Brothers song "Nashville Blues". Like The Beatles some years earlier, the band with their most famous line-up worked in 1964 as residents at the famous Star Club in Hamburg, where they played alongside other up-and-coming acts like The Spencer Davis Group. This scene led them to cut their first record as the backing band for Jerry Lee Lewis on "Live At The Star Club", they later backed Carl Perkins on his classic hit single "Big Bad Blues".The bands big break came when they added John D Loudermilk's country song, Tobacco Road to their repertoire - except they gave it a full pulsebeat and pounding rhythm which transformed it from country music into one of the decades best known R&B standards. Although some sources have suggested that The Teens version of this song drove singer Mickie Most to quit singing and take up producing, Arthur Sharp has confirmed that Most had already given up singing fore he produced "Tobacco Road".
