Search - Jimmy Kirkland;with Cecelia Boron;with Hugh Friar :: Cool Daddy

Tennessee-born Jim Kirkland's horse ran from the gate like a shot in 1958 when he cut a rock n roll record for the Detroit-based Fox record label. But like many rockabillies, his horse jumped the track and carried him away from the finish line and glory, in another direction. Kirkland was one of the pioneers of rock n roll in the country music clubs of Detroit, and finger picked a mean, swingin guitar in local country groups during the 1960s. Contains tracks by Jimmy's wife Cecelia together with unissued material and recordings Jimmy made with Hugh Friar and Johnny Powers. Many photographs and detailed notes by Craig Maki & Leslie Kirkland.
