Off-Site Discography
Charlie Feathers & His Musical Warriors
MORE: Although rockabilly pioneer Charlie Feathers never achieved commercial
success, he was present at the creation of the form. Feathers himself hints
that a mysterious, undisclosed "conspiracy" denied him maintstream fame;
today he is a cult legend., living in Memphis in a little house with
a white picket fence. Charlie loves to sit on his front porch, chewing and
spitting tobacco.
Raised on a farm, Feathers quit school after the third grade, learned
guitar from a black sharecropper, and worked on oil pipelines in Illinois
and Texas as a teen. Moving to Memphis at 18, he contracted spinal meningitis
and spent months bedridden, listening to the radio. Upon recuperating
he concentrated on music. Feathers later claimed that he spent a great deal
of time in the mid-Fifties at Sam Phillips' Sun studios, arranging some of
Elvis Presley's early material. Though most of Feathers'
assertions have been unsubstantiated, he did co-write Presley's "I Forgot to
Remember to Forget" (#1 C&W, 1955). That year, his own debut single on Flip,
"I've Been Deceived," showed the influence of Hank
Williams, and from then until 1959, he recorded for Sun and smaller
labels (King, Kay, and Walmay among them). Such singles as "Tongue-Tied Jill"
and "Get With It" did little on the charts, but Feathers
persevered, playing local roadhouses until gaining, in 1977, a gig at
London's Rainbow Theatre that drew raves from rockabilly revivalists.
In the late Seventies, Feathers got the financial backing to start his
own short-lived record label, Feathers, upon which he released a couple of
albums and several singles. Frequently comic in tone his
work was often straightforwardly country, but with 1991's "Charlie Feathers"
(his only major label release) and the critical praise it provoked, it seemed
apparent that Feathers will be remembered essentially as a great, early, if
not widely known, rocker.
There is a excellent display on Charlie's memorbilia at the Memphis
Music Museum on 2nd St., downtown Memphis.
