Gene "Mad Man" Maltais

 

Today we celebrate the birthday of Rockabilly Mad Man Gene Maltais! Born in Concord New Hampshire in 1933!

Gene was super popular in the New England area and traveled the country numerous times in effort to make it big, serving as his own manager and promotor. His big break was running into Chet Atkins in Nashville, recognizing him and asking him for advice. Atkins suggested DECCA records, so he went over there directly to sweet talk the receptionist. Webb Pierce happened to hear him singing an impassioned version of Crazy Baby and the rest is history. DECCA released the amazing two sider Crazy Baby b/w Deep River Blues.

Sadly the record didn't do much for DECCA and that was it for him at the label.

He had a few other records but that was it until he recorded his magnum opus for LILAC records, the absolutely mind blowing Gang War b/w The Raging Sea.

Gene went on to record again for Norton Records and even make some appearances at Rockabilly Festivals.

Lux and Ivy spoke about Gene in the Incredibly Strange Music book on RE/Search books:

Lux (talking about suicide records) "I got the Deep River Blues, I feel so sad and blue/I lost my love, what am I gonna do?" Even the Anita Kerr singers couldn't fuck this up. Then he sings 'Now the deep river blues is a callin', callin' for me to come home, where I'll never be bothered, and never have to roam.'"

Ivy: "The other side, CRAZY BABY, is such great rockabilly--equally unique vocals. There's a line where he says 'you're golden touch' but it sounds like he says 'your golden crotch.' I can't believe he says that. Then he WHISTLES the instrumental solo--well, why not?

Gene Maltais appears on multiple volumes of Lux and Ivy's Favorites.

Crazy Baby appears on Volume 1

Gang War appears on Volume 4

Deep River Blues appears on Volume 15

and the Maltais penned and compilation stalwart, Little Girl appears on Volume 7

Ronnie Ray and the Playboys - The Vulture

 Released on May 9, 1960! The Vulture by Ronnie Ray and the Playboys!

A fantastic 2 sider with their version of Mean Mama Blues on the A-side, and a killer instrumental "The Vulture" on the flip.

The Vulture ended up on "volume 3" of the Vip Vop tapes.

What are The Vip Vop Tapes anway? As far as I can tell, they were two cassette tapes (30 minutes a side) that Lux Interior made back in the day. Amazing tapes with great music and portions of movie trailers sandwiched between the songs. Somewhere along the line someone got a copy of the tapes and started selling them at swap meets in California.

Back in the napster days, someone reached out to me and got me copies of these tapes (that had NO track listing) and they became a big part of Lux and Ivy's Favorites. To this day, there are still some songs from these tapes that have yet to be identified.

Years later, another tape's audio was given to me from The Cramps European tour from A Date with Elvis and portions of the Vip Vop Tapes were on there, with other songs as well, officially making the connection that the tapes were indeed made by Lux.

The Vulture is on Lux and Ivy's Favorites Volume 5!
