SWEET LOVE
IS SHE SORE
LOOK WHAT I FOUND
Orangie Ray Hubbard was a native of Louisville Kentucky, he entered a talent contest with the hope of getting a recording contract with 'Starday Records'. After winning 8 shows in a row Ray recorded 'Sweet Love' in a radio station in Louisville and sent the tape to Starday. The contract never materialised but a single 45 came on Dixie records a label used by Starday for releasing it's rock 'n' roll music catalogue. The flip side of the 45 was by a singer called David Lundy. A disillusioned Ray moved on. He cut 'Is She Sore' b/w 'Look What I Found' for Lucky Records of Cincinnati at the tale end of the 50's.
It's my first visit to your blog, which is great!
ReplyDeleteI'm familiar with "Is She Soar" as "Is She Sore" by The Customs--a great (1978) rockabilly band with a lot of SONICS-styled garage mixed in. They were threatened with a lawsuit by Kustom Amps if they didn't change their name, and included the guitarist post-DMZ and pre-LYRES guitar whiz Peter Greenburg. Well worth a listen!!
The link doesn't lead anywhere though... Maybe you could you redirect it?
Thanks for your comment. How could I have spelt 'Sore' wrong twice?
ReplyDeleteI've checked the Customs out and they are very much in the garage/Sonic genre.
Unfortunately a bit too garage for my taste. But for cats that dig it here is the link to their you version of 'Is She Sore' https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=5Ntp0SoZupU
