One Hand Loose - Charlie Feathers

One Hand Loose - Charlie Feathers
2:24
single, 1956
Written by Charlie Feathers, Jerry Huffman, and Jody Chastain

A rollicking, hiccuping early rockabilly track, raw and unpolished, with elements of honky-tonk still discernible in both the music and vocals.  It's unclear to me what it may be all about.  Possibly nothing?  Or dancing?  "If there's rhythm in your bones then you know how I feel / But don't you crowd me close baby, this time is for real / Get ready for some rockin', pick 'em up and put 'em down / Give me one hand loose and I'll be satisfied."  One hand loose to do what, Mr. Feathers?!
