    Yes he was. He had some of the edge that Gene Vincent and Jerry Lee had...more so than Elvis, Buddy or Eddie.

    I loved his guitar player too. I'm guessing he played a DeArmond equipped Duo Jet, but that could just be my imagination.

    I just gave him a listen! I knew a few tunes but didn't know him. The guy was a rocker! What a band!
