John Olenn McCord was born in 1936 and played bass in Eddy Dugosh’s Ah-Ha Playboys before forming The Jokers in 1955 to record for Bob Tanner’s local T’N’T label for whom he recorded these four sides. His Rockabilly style is not the standard fair as he adds sax, drums a jazzy vocal and injects a whole lot of swinging into the mix. Anyone who wants to argue this is not Rockabilly is ignoring the contribution of the Delmore Brothers, Bob Wills and many and other early western swingers.
