  • The THIRD "Mean Woman Blues" From 1957

    From Roger@21:1/5 to All on Fri Aug 30 13:32:05 2024
    Here's the third version of "Mean Woman Blues" from 1957 - the one that
    never gets mentioned since it
    was an unreleased demo recorded for King Records (either at Bradley
    Studio in Nashville or King Studio in Cincinnati)--and probably recorded
    prior to October 1957 since his recordings are mostly catalogued after
    then)

    It's Rusty York with a version of "Mean Woman Blues" that wouldn't have
    kept Jerry Lee or Elvis up nights
    ---doesn't compare with either IMO but still quite listenable. I have it
    as a high 6 on my 1957 favorites list

    I would think that a "high 6" would be pretty close to the 7 that you
    gave to the Elvis version that you only gave a 7 to.

    Not really,there's about 1000 places between them. The Elvis is a high 7
