Very rare vinyl !!! - Axton may have been known as something of a folksinger at the time of this release, and he may have subsequently become known as a country artist, but make no mistake: This is a rock album, albeit a pretty strange one by 1964 standards. Not so much because it's weird, but because it's an uncomfortable intersection of blues, go-go R&B-influenced rock, and hints of folk and novelty songwriting. It's not a folk-rock album, despite Axton's background; the arrangements are rather close to those used by Johnny Rivers on his mid-'60s material.
