Marvin Rainwater Sings With a Heart – With a Beat, 1958
Written by Marvin Rainwater?
I've never heard of this early rock singer, who apparently wore Native dress on stage and claimed Cherokee ancestry. With a nasal voice straight out of the most countrified of honky-tonks, he sings not the heartbreak ballad you expect but high-tempo rockabilly, calling out the lyrics like a square dancer caller on speed. It's all about the rhythm and the rock and go go and don't stop. "Rock and roll, rock and roll / I can't stand still, not to save my soul / Roll and rock, roll and rock / That kinda rhythm would stop the clock."
