Here is Eddie Bond on Mercury Records singing a great uptempo rockabilly tune called "Boppin' Bonnie". This is a great song with great guitar playing and a cool walking bass line in the breaks. One of my favorites for sure. Eddie Bond is a rockabilly and country singer who grew up in Memphis and was a contemporary of greats like Elvis Presley and Carl Perkins. Eddie and his band, The Stompers, auditioned for both Sun Records and Meteor Records with no success. They were able to secure a recording contract for the much smaller Ekko records and they released two decent country flavored records. After these two releases, they were picked up by a major label, Mercury Records. Here Eddie Bond and the Stompers really came into their own releasing such great rockers as "Rockin' Daddy" and "Slip, Slip, Slippin' In". This record is one I've had for a while that I found at a record show in Oakland, CA back in 2002. I hope you enjoy it!
