Good Rocker From 1958

[Bruce]

I am currently listing a ton of old boot 45's and I came across this one
which I never heard of before. Al Casey on Highland from 1959. It's an
Eddie Cochran style song. Al doesn't sound like Eddie, but the music and
the arrangement sounds like Eddie's style.

"This is an awfully long record," I said to myself. "Why isn't it over
yet?"
I looked at the video and it was at 1:50. That's how boring I found it.

The guitar break was the best part of it. It doesn't sound anything
like "Summertime Blues" or "Come On Everybody" or any of the other few
Eddie Cochran records I like.

No wonder it was booted. I am doing really well with these boots and
other 45's from the 70s and 80s. I got $20 for this Al Casey.

If you want to see what kind of things they are, this link has the most
recent 250 listings on the first page.

In 2009 I acquired all tracks from this Al Casey 32-track Bear Family CD
https://www.discogs.com/release/6646777-Al-Casey-A-Man-For-All-Sessions
"(Got The) Teen-Age Blues" is track #11 (1958)

The images link (top left) of this Discogs page has every page from the
cd's substantial accompanying booklet, including a 4th to last image
that shows the year for each track:

Yes, some/many tracks were originally credited on 45rpm to another
artist (with Al Casey being the uncredited lead guitarist).

I said 1959 in the post, but 1958 is correct.
