Description
This is Mickey Gilley...Ooh Wee Baby...Minor Records (Houston, TX) #106 45 rpm 1957
Side two: Tell Me Why
This is very early Mickey Gilley on Minor...Rockabilly sound
For most of his career, pianist/vocalist Mickey Gilley lived in the shadow of his cousin, Jerry Lee Lewis, playing a similar fusion of country, rock, blues, and R&B. In the early '70s, he managed to breakthrough into country stardom, but it wasn't until the late '70s, when he became associated with the urban cowboy movement, that he became a superstar.
Gilley, like Lewis, was raised in Ferriday, LA. It wasn't until Jerry Lee had a hit with his first Sun single, "Crazy Arms," that Mickey decided he wanted to pursue a musical career. Gilley began recording for a number of independent Texas labels without much success in the late '50s.
Labels: VG with ring wear, name in ink
Vinyl: VG with hairlines and some minor surface scratches...play through very nicely with a little bit of background hiss
Thanks
