Doug Poindexter & the Starlite Wranglers were only the fifth or sixth white act ever signed to Sun Records. The Starlite Wranglers circa 1953-1954 consisted of Bill Black on standup bass, Tommy Sealey on fiddle, Millard Yeow playing steel guitar, Clyde Rush on acoustic guitar, and Scotty Moore on electric guitar, with Poindexter providing the nasal, traditional, country-style singing and strumming a guitar as well. Moore claims credit for bringing Poindexter to Sam Phillips' attention at Sun, and for organizing the session that resulted in May of 1954; he certainly shared songwriting credit on both sides of the resulting single, the very hillbilly-sounding "Now She Cares No More" and the raunchy, almost proto-rockabilly "My Kind of Carrying On." The latter pointed the way toward the sound that Moore would capture about a month later, when he and Elvis Presley got together at Sun for the first time. Presley certainly was familiar with Poindexter & the Starlite Wranglers, and had attended a number of their performances. It's also possible that Poindexter played without credit on several of Presleys' Sun recordings, including "Good Rockin' Tonight," and may have helped in putting together some of the arrangements.      What to Expect :> Cover (Generic) (New) Sleeve and Cover
What to Expect :> Vinyl  (GOOD) (G) or a 4/5 on a 1 to 10 Scale. (VIEW ALL PHOTOS)  You definitely can see years of surface marks ,scuffs and light scratches. Surprisingly it plays much better than it looks after I cleaned both sides it plays without skipping only to hear faint to mild surface noise occasional ticks/pops with an Historical Recording like this.The Label is in fantastic condition!
