The Lonesome Drifter. Well if that ain't enough mystery for ya, i don't know what is. This guy recorded some amazing tunes in less than 2 years and then hung up his hat and pawned his guitar after his fiddle player pissed him off. He literally walked off stage and didn't look back. Maybe he was having a bad trip? Hank Williams was busy killing himself quickly with the bottle, while The Lonesome Drifter was dropping LSD and cranking up this erie sounding Echo in the Studio. Some serious melt your face off kinda stuff. Who really knows what was actually going down....again theres that Mystery Train, comin' down the tracks. This tune 'Your New Love' is just one of lost gems in this batch of Trippy Cowboy Doom tunes, that could make Elvis look like quite the nice little boy. I'll be posting up more from this soon, but here's one of the hopeless Drifter songs he recorded in 1958.
Thankyou for visiting. I'm just here to play you some records from my personal collection. I love music, probably more than most anything else in life. I hope you enjoy this as much as I do. Please follow and share with your friends!
