Jimmy & Duane
A ridiculously rare record to find, Jimmy & Duane's "I Want Some Lovin'
Baby", recorded on Lee Hazlewood's ridiculously-named EB X.PRESTON
label (actually a Four-Star custom recording), may seem like a engaging
enough uptempo hillbilly duo number....but what one would probably
never suspect from listening to the record is that Jimmy & Duane were
in fact an early collusion by rockers Jimmy Delbridge and Duane Eddy.
According to the label their backup band was Buddy Long and the Western
Melody Boys, and according to Cees Klop, that lineup includes Keith
Kolby on bass guitar. -Jeffrey Scott Holland

Justis, Bill
Born Birmingham, Alabama, October 14, 1927. Moved to Memphis at
age 5 and became interested in music though his mother who was
a concert pianist. Played saxophone in high school and later
influenced by Duke Ellington. Formed a dance band at age 15 and
after going to college played with professional dance bands
during vacations. Did post grad work in music theory and
started working in record business because he needed extra
money after getting married in 1954. After leaving Sun he
formed th short-lived label, Play Me, and then joined
RCA-Groove as an artist and producer, later moving to Smash
where he also recorded prolifically. Later with Monument and
Sound Stage 7 in Nashville for whom he produced big hits by
the Dixiebells. Has done arrangements for Kenny Rogers and
many others. FOR THE RECORD...
Bill played the trumpet and sax, arranged, produced and later became
Musical Director for Sun Records. Part of the charm of his hit version of
"Raunchy" was the off-tone of his saxophone. Justis had called another
sax player to do the session but he begged off at the last minute,
forcing Justis to play the lead part himself. He hadn't played the sax
for a while and his rusty playing accounted for the strange tone.
Raunchy, '57
