The hanging Judge, George Jeffreys' name is spelt Jeffries in Julie Felix’s song. If anybody knows about songwriter Chris Plail, I would be grateful for information. In Felix’s notes she claims he was a student pharmacist who handed her a bunch of papers which included the song, Judge Jeffries, and claimed it was a traditional song, but she believes it was an original. If you know more, or better then please email me at the above.

SMALL TOWN TALK: Episode 54
Wednesday Sep 25, 2024
Wednesday Sep 25, 2024
In which Ginger Baldy suffers the weather in Small Town Talk’s collapsing studio and keeps his big mouth firmly shut.
1. Rockin’ Bones - Ronnie Dawson (The Blond Bomber) 1959
2. Somebody Told You - Irma Thomas 1962
3. Desdemona - John’s Children 1967 (Marc Bolan second vocalist - obviously!)
4. Just A Little Bit - Tiny Topsy 1959
5. Daddy Daddy - Richard Berry 1954
6. Daddy Daddy - Ruth Brown 1952
7. Pneumonia - Joe Tex 1956
8. Come In the Morning - Moby Grape 1967
9. It’s Gonna Work Out Fine - Ike & Tina Turner 1961
10. You’re Losing Me - Barbara Lynn 1968
11. His Last Summer - The Barracudas 1980 (This month’s death song)
12. Suspended Animation - Rachel Sweet 1978
13. It’s Raining - J. D. McPherson 2023 (The Warm Covers vinyl album compiled for Record Store Day)
14. Home Home Home - Pokey LaFarge 2024
15. Devil In His Heart - The Donays 1962
16. I’m Calling You - The Cactus Blossoms 2019
17. Only The Lonely - Roy Orbison 1960 (This month’s earworm)
18. You’ve Got Your Good Thing Down - Sir Douglas Quintet (mid sixties)
19. Choo Choo Ch’Boogie - Louis Jordan 1946
Theme song: Small Town Talk - Bobby Charles
You reach your destination, but alas and alack
You need some compensation to get back in the black
You take a morning paper from the top of the stack
And read the situations from the front to the back
The only job that's open needs a man with a knack
So put it right back in the rack, Jack
From ‘Choo Choo Ch’Boogie’ - Louis Jordan And His Tympany Five - 1946
Written by Denver Darling, Milton Gabler and Vaughn Horton.
Every line of every verse in this clever song ends in a word that rhymes with Jack.
A few notes this episode to compensate for the lack of song introductions.
Track 7: Pneumonia - Joe Tex. On the label the writing credits go to Joe Tex, but this song is clearly a facsimile of Little Willie John’s ‘Fever’, written by Eddie Cooley and Otis Blackwell under his songwriting alias of John Davenport.
Track 8: Come In The Morning - written by Bob Mosley and the terrific B side of Hey Grandma (see episode 29) It was one of 5 Moby Grape singles released simultaneously, a move that backfired and contributed to the band’s downfall.
Track 14: Home Home Home - Pokey LaFarge - written and originally recorded by Ken Boothe in 1967 and produced by Clement "Coxone" Dodd. Pokey's version is from his new album "Rhumba Country"
Track 15: Famously recorded by the Beatles on their second album ‘With The Beatles’ and sung by George Harrison. The Donays’ original was the flipside of their only single ‘Bad Boy’ and was never a hit either in the States or the UK. Small Town Talk played Bad Boy in our Two Songs, One Title feature in episode 18, Oct 2021.
Track 16: I’m Calling You - The Cactus Blossoms - for Andrea who cemented the idea of Two Songs, One Title and since she loves the Everlys she will probably like this!
Track 18: You’ve Got Your Good Thing Down - Sir Douglas Quintet. Only released later on several compilation albums, but recorded by producer Huey Meaux, The Crazy Cajun, for Tribe records sometime in the mid sixties. In my book Doug Sahm can do no wrong.

SMALL TOWN TALK
Music To Burn Your Ears
From the Wild Welsh Coast, Doctor Polyvinyl Pete treats you to an overdose of his amazing record collection - and much, much more.
Each month he delves into his dusty vaults to bring you the best of the best, from Rockabilly, R&B, Rock 'n' Roll, Blues, Soul, Reggae and 60's Garage, through Folk-Rock and the British Invasion.
You will hear anecdotes and reflections on the music and very occasionally, he may play something new, but don't expect to get the stuff you hear on the radio.
