Joe Tex--really wrecks me. Last year I spun through both sides of a 6-inch stack of his Dial 45s and my earlobes are still flappin’ to the groove. I recall hearing “Show Me” a couple of times on my car radio in ’67, but the charts have it stalled at #35. Back then, it took a warehouse of white kids’ money to push a black record up anywhere near the top ten. Motown understood this better than the hard soul labels and aimed systematically at white kids, raking in the hits.</div><div style="margin-top: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-bottom: 0px; margin-left: 0px; min-height: 14px; "><br></div><div style="margin-top: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-bottom: 0px; margin-left: 0px; ">At the AMHF we recognize that records have an “Absolute Value,” no matter how few copies were actually sold.

Freddy King--The first electric blues LP I ever touched belonged to some surfer I met around 1964 whose whole crowd preferred Freddy to the Beach Boys. Back in the sixties, the three “Kings” weren’t from “Orient Are” - wherever that is. Albert, B.B. and Freddy were all from the South. The Brits still owe a big balance of trade just for the coin they made off of Xeroxing the licks from these three Kings of the Blues. Maybe they should levy a Stomp Tax on British Blues and break up their little tea party.</div><div style="margin-top: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-bottom: 0px; margin-left: 0px; min-height: 14px; "><br></div><div style="margin-top: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-bottom: 0px; margin-left: 0px; min-height: 14px; "><br></div><div style="margin-top: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-bottom: 0px; margin-left: 0px; ">3. Johnny Cash--This Cash is anything but trash ‘cause “Live in '55” is hard to top. The possibly recognizable tune was brand new, right out of the box and still had that new car, Body by Fisher smell. Cash’s lead player, Luther Perkins was absolutely essential to his sound, but he probably was shorter in the chops department than any other lead guitarist in the hillbilly and rock ’n’ roll rackets. A tip of the old felt Fedora to computer wizard John Gilmore for diggin’ up this little relic. I give it like, on a scale of 1 to 10 - an easy 11.</div><div style="margin-top: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-bottom: 0px; margin-left: 0px; min-height: 14px; "><br></div><div style="margin-top: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-bottom: 0px; margin-left: 0px; min-height: 14px; "><br></div><div style="margin-top: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-bottom: 0px; margin-left: 0px; ">4.
