Turner, Jesse Lee - Put Me Down - Boppin‘ Blue Jeans (The Leonard Brothers)1

(Bear Family Records) 2 tracks - big centerhole - plain white sleeve Jesse Lee Turner was born in Bowling, Texas. His career is surprisingly un-documented for an artist who had a Top 20 hit with The Little Space Girl in early 1959. Put Me Down was probably Jesse Lee‘s first recording, written by Jerry Lee Lewis‘ guitarist, Roland Janes. Turner recorded for many small labels and along with his career in music, he worked as a crop duster pilot and an actor. ‘Put Me Down‘: Really great mid-tempo piano jiver! Kinda Jerry Lee Lewis feeling on this one. This is an un-issued SUN recording and on 45rpm for the very first time!  - The Leonard Brothers , Johnny and Dick along, with Dick Santomeno, were from Tucson, Arizona. They traveled to the Viv Studio on Indian School Road sometime in 1958 to record their composition,  Boppin‘ Blue Jeans. Sounding like a revved up Everly Brothers song, this side really captures the rather basic Viv studio sound of the time. ‘Boppin‘ Blue Jeans‘: An ultra hot rockin‘ jiver from Arizona. This one is an absolute killer, an unissued rocker and for the very first time on 45rpm!
