Sammy Masters doing his compositions, Pink Cadillac backed by Some Like It Hot, a 1956 4-Star Records release. This is early California Rockabilly that charted on the West Coast. While not that well known, Pink Cadillac is considered to be a Rockabilly classic. Whats also very interesting about this record is that the guitar work is by Jimmy The Fastest Guitar In The Country Bryant, an extremely talented session man whod been signed as an instrumentalist by Capitol Records in 1950, only to be fired by them in 1956 for being temperamental and difficult basically he clashed with management. Jimmy had played on Tennessee Ernie Fords boogie tunes and with steel player Speedy West, who he teamed up. Jimmy was one of the very first country musicians to use Leo Fenders new electric guitar, the Telecaster.
