Jimmie Dolan - Juke Box Boogie - Bear Family CD (2000)


Jimmie Dolan's sole hit was one of four versions of "Hot Rod Race" that made the country Top 10 in 1951. In an attempt to duplicate the success of his hit, Dolan recorded talking blues songs and novelties for Capitol through the mid-'50s, sometimes approximating Ernest Tubb's vocal style or following in the footsteps of Tex Williams ("Nicotine Fits"). The novelties tend to be the standout tracks on this 31-song import, since the talking blues numbers are a little monochromatic and the ballads are compromised by Dolan's unremarkable vocals. Interesting selections such as "Tool Pusher on a Rotary Rig" and a trio of sea-faring songs including the excellent "Jolly Captain Huddlestead" are highlights, as is a 1955 version of the Cheers' hit "Black Denim Trousers and Motorcycle Boots." ~ Greg Adams
