Somewhere Down the Crazy River
I remember as a teenager in the 60s at the Dungeon club in Nottingham hearing Little Willie John’s record of ‘Fever’ played by Peter Stringfellow.

Barely two and a half minutes? Definitely wish the song were longer.
Smooth
Part of the soundtrack of the great John Sayles movie, Lone Star.
Love it.


My friend, Sue Whitall, wrote his story. A former Creem reporter, she's now the music columnist for The Detroit News.
Cool.

True, true.

Thank you. Nice spare sound.  Better than the landslide of mush from so many newer groups.

"...laying in the backseat
listening to Little Willie John.
Ah, that's when time stood still..."
- Robbie Robertson, 'Somewhere Down That Crazy River'
1958? Took a while to make the playlist!
