Try Me - Bob Luman

Try Me - Bob Luman
2:12
single, 1958
Written by Charles Singleton

With a teasing, brash style horn line, a male chorus echoing the title and providing a wordless "ooh" backing behind him, Luman fires out this short but sweet rockabilly number.  It's a braggadocio firmly in the '50s era: "Try me, you'll see / That I know something other lovers don't know / If you had some other kisses, but you ain't satisfied / Baby, I got kisses you ain't never tried."  It's delivered with a wink and swinging hip, not a sneer; Luman doesn't sound dangerous, just sly and sincere.
