single, 1957
Written by Jimmy Wages
Very early, primitive rockabilly, influenced by country gospel, with ominous one-note guitar work. Incredibly, there is very little information about this song, or the singer, himself; he doesn't even have an English Wikipedia page! Discogs has no information on his single. Some say the single was unreleased in his lifetime. The song is not quite as spiritual as it may appear; there's one that implies that the narrator's troubles are secular, not infernal. "Well if you don't hurry, get away from here / This little girl is gonna set my pace." He's being tempted by the flesh!
