Loudermilk,John D Bully Of The Beach CD

John D Loudermilk was perhaps the songwriter for whom the word "idiosyncratic" was created. His catalogue of songs defies classification, ranging from the unlikely to the downright bizarre, touching all points in between. Although he often came across as an unwilling performer, being happier when other people sang his songs, he was a fine singer, a skilful guitarist, and he registered hit records of his own. This is the companion to an earlier Jasmine release, Sittin' In The Balcony, The Songs Of John D. Loudermilk (JASCD 699). Tracks 1-22 are Loudermilk's own recordings, omitted from that earlier set, including his U.S. hits 'Road Hog', 'Thou Shalt Not Steal', 'Callin' Dr. Casey' and 'Bad News'. Tracks 23-32 present ten of his songs interpreted by artists like George Hamilton IV, Brian Hyland, Kris Jensen, Jack Scott, Sue Thompson, Bob Luman, etc., and features an eclectic range of hits, flips, and rarities.
