Great balls of fire! On this VERY Hot Jazz Network Podcast, host George Cole talks with international Rockabilly star, Darrel Higham. Endorsed by Gretsch Guitars and Peavey Amps, Darrel Higham has worked with Jeff Beck, Robert Plant, Jools Holland, Imelda May, Billy Lee Riley, Rocky Burnett, and more. Listen to George and Darrel wind their way through the intersecting paths of musical interests and discuss guitars, great guitarists, and the music that makes them "tick"!ABOUT Darrel Higham: Born in Bedford, England in 1970, Higham grew up listening to the music of Elvis Presley and Eddie Cochran. Through the influence of these artists, Higham took up the guitar in his early teens and joined his first band whilst still at school. In 1992 he spent 6 months living in the USA; touring and recording with Eddie Cochran's original backing band, The Kelly Four. His first solo album was released in 1995 on Nervous Records, entitled Mobile Corrosion. Higham played lead guitar in the West End production of Elvis: The Musical in 1996. He co-wrote the first biography on his musical hero, Eddie Cochran for Mainstream Publishing in 2000. Along with solo albums and records released with his Rockabilly band, The Enforcers, throughout the 90s and 00s, Higham also played lead guitar and produced many other artists. He co-owns Embassy Studio in Hampshire and oversees a great many sessions there. In 2007, Higham started work with Stray Cats drummer, Slim Jim Phantom. Together they recorded 2 albums and toured Europe, even making an appearance on BBC's Later With Jools in 2012. In 2011 he shared the lead vocal duties with Imelda May on the Jeff Beck DVD and subsequent CD, A Rock 'n' Roll Party. He has played guitar for Robert Plant, Jools Holland, Imelda May, Sharon Shannon, Shakin' Stevens, Jeff Beck, Billy Lee Riley, Rocky Burnette, Bono, Paul McCartney, to name but a few. Darrel is endorsed by Gretsch guitars, Peavey amplifiers and TV Jones pick-ups.

The one where we talked football & rockabilly with Darrel Higham. It's a bit difficult to know where to start when describing Darrel. As a guitarist he has played in numerous bands, with the likes of Shakin' Stevens & Imelda May. Worked on sessions for artists such as Chrissie Hynde & Robert Plant and appeared in the West End (and on tour) playing Eddie Cochran. He is a Gretsch endorsee and helped Peavey design their first ever semi-acoustic guitar, the Rockingham. Oh, and he was born in Bedford and supports Sunderland football club. All of which probably accounts for the fact we had plenty to talk about. https://darrelhigham.com (Darrel Website) https://open.spotify.com/playlist/349hzbvMuBLBw1XBUCBv0N?si=ZYECdxDDToiQN4sXKdKR6A (Episode 32 Playlist) https://www.instagram.com/theguitarshowuk/ (9-42 Instagram) https://twitter.com/theguitarshowuk (9-42 Twitter) https://www.facebook.com/theguitarshowuk (9-42 Facebook) https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCozetpXDzhNSAELq6wnoLhQ (9-42 Youtube) https://www.theguitarshow.co.uk/ (9-42 Website) https://www.facebook.com/ashortstoriespodcast/ (ashortstories Facebook) This podcast uses the following third-party services for analysis: Chartable - https://chartable.com/privacy

Mojo's, Mata Hari's & Muckity Mucks......This weeks episode culminating from the shotgun wedding of my record collection and your computer is titled MOJO'S, MATA HARI'S & MUCKITY MUCKS....aptly named as we're starting with Little Esther Phillips from 1964 on the Atlantic records label..."Mojo Hannah"...smooth as silk was Lil Esther...she got her start with Johnny Otis in the early 50's, hooked up with Mel Walker who introduced Esther to the blues, bourbon and heroin......ahem.....in the words of my old buddy Johnny "Jersey to Mersey" Bodnar, we "con-tin-ooh on" with Ray Davies favorite band The Woggles who nail a 3 pointer over the head of Kevin Garnett before he can complain to the ref who's diggin' Dick Dale plunkin' his piano wire geetar strings offa an early offering from the surfguitargod hisself...."Jungle Fever" a favorite here in the Jungle Studios....I've seen SzQ get on her desk and frug out to this slab of 7" magic!! Speaking of magic.....lounge lizard, Claude Bolling slam dunks the 1st set of music with "Strange Magic".As stated in the opening....we have a theme...so it's time for Muck & the Mires to double pump you off your feet with "Mata Hari" so that The Cool Jerks can intercept the inbounds pass with an over the top, E-string slappin' version of Don Gardners' "My baby likes to boogaloo". Rex Garvin & the Mighty Cravers keep the theme alive by double dribbling around the opposition ala Danny Ainge with the uber-hip "Sock it to 'em, JB pt. 1". Al Kooper resorts to taunting the other team and coming close to drawing a technical with "I can't keep from crying [sometimes]"....After a short pause for the cause and info break, Jimmy McCracklin reveals his real reason for playing the piano with "I'm looking for a woman"...true, true...and speaking of truths....The Truth give Donovan's "Hey Gyp [Dig the slowness]" a ride so that Naomi Shelton & the Gospel Queens as the universal question: "What have you done?"....Donna w/ Darrel Higham & the Enforcers have a go at Johnny Otis' "Casting My Spell" before The Madd weigh in with a cool cover of The Master's Apprentices' "War or the Hands of Time" single which originated on Astor Records 1967.....the smooth, hip sounds of Mose Allison could keep the madman over there in Iran occupied long enough so that Frankie Lee Sims could infiltrate the party at the mosque with "She likes to boogie real low"....which is one of the coolest blues toons ever!! Time to put this Pod to bed with Mott the Hoople covering Leslie West offa his first long player...."Long Red"....
