This joint did not regularly feature live music so the band just set up on the dance floor. Wayne had a fantastic presence even if I didn't rate him as a singer (still don't). I remember being very impressed with his youthful-looking guitarist, who played a clear-bodied Dan Armstrong instrument. When I slipped backstage after the set to pay my compliments to this chap, he seemed nervous in the presence of a stranger; when I asked why, he replied "'Cos I'm only 17 and not old enough to be in this bar!"Gramercy7http://www.nyrocker.com/blognoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3226924615283203864.post-12583974879953199712010-04-11T10:16:31.750-04:002010-04-11T10:16:31.750-04:00Hallelujah!

Apparently he has trouble with the words "guitar tuner" as well. HA- kidding! I can't really explain it, I just get him. Somewhere around here, I have some pics of my pals sporting Wayne-inspired dyed pompadours circa 1983. Thanks for reminding me just how mulletastic that clip from the C.C.

Great post. Regarding his recorded work, he did a great LP for Chess in 67 (his other LPs suck). It was mostly recorded at Fame Studio in Muscle Shoals and it sounds like the Fame house band playing on it even though liner notes mention his touring band. He rips thru a bunch of blues and soul covers like Hoochie Coochie Man, Little Bitty Pretty One and Boom Boom backed by a kick ass rhythm section! By the way supposidly he owned the record label that Otis Redding's Shout Bmalama initially appeared on. The name of the record label?

My guess is it's his brother Alane who cut a couple of Wayne produced twist discs in the early 60's (there was one called Gone Twistin' on Conco that I used to have,released under the name Alane Cochran & the Nomads, it wasn't very good and I either sold or traded it away years ago).The Houndhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06328225246284521960noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3226924615283203864.post-90382549837748010442010-04-08T14:37:16.812-04:002010-04-08T14:37:16.812-04:00Have any of you seen this great old "High Boo...Have any of you seen this great old "High Boots" Scopitone clip? <br /><a href="http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=yhZ2sBdCUhA" rel="nofollow">http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=yhZ2sBdCUhA</a><br /><br />People have speculated that it is a black haired Cochrane singing it, and after seeing the clips from the Hound's blog post, I strongly agree.gnatphttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04176589678270906922noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3226924615283203864.post-1915483141112148972010-04-08T14:14:38.897-04:002010-04-08T14:14:38.897-04:00I feel like I have died and gone to heaven.

Like all bands, Johnny Jenkins & the Pinetoppers changed members regularly, Wayne was only in the band for a few months but plenty of white musicians passed in and out of the group over the years. I saw them in the 70's when they were a funk band and they had three white guys and three black guys in addition to Jenkins.<br />BTW, the Pinetoppers name is credited to Shout Bamalama usually by bootleggers who don't want Otis name to raise any red flags, the disc came out on three different labels and only one of 'em has a credit for the Pinetoppers, in much smaller letters than Otis' name.The Houndhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06328225246284521960noreply@blogger.com
