Sammy Masters & Jimmy Bryant - Pink Cadillac - Some Like It Hot.m4v video free download
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.

How do you know that it is Jimmy Bryant on the record? I always thought it was someone else... to me the guitar sound seems too warm to be a Fender, sounds like PAfs.11 years ago

That's ok voutoreenie, the photo of Jimmy & Sammy was taken July 3, 1961 not sure where, had to be in the LA area. The photo was taken by my father Ralph C. Rowe who worked under Sammy for Cal Worthington. Daddy was the lead guitar player on Cal's Corral.12 years ago

@vladgromek As a matter of fact I was just listening to Jimmy's "The Fastest Guitar in the Country" circa 1967 on my way home from work today. That's the one with jazz greats backing him (Barney Kessel, Shelly Manne etc). He lives up to the albums name on a couple of cuts. I had forgotten just how quick and precise he could be when he wanted to. It's got one of the few bebop tunes he ever recorded on there too--Voxwagon. That one's worth searching for.13 years ago

@gmdinformation Yeah, you're absolutely right especially the intro to the solo is awsome in its "sure footed weirdness" (if I may say so). While the song seems to be nothing special by itself Jimmy's guitar work is as inventive as ever... He sure was one of the alltime greats and him and Speedy West were an almost telepathic dream team can't really think of anything like that in current music (whatever genre)...14 years ago
