BILLY GAYLES WITH IKE TURNER'S RHYTHM ROCKERS - I'M TORE UP


This is one wild record, especially intense for 1956! Deplorable human being/ musical genius Ike Turner lays out some incredibly hot guitar on this boozer's anthem featuring vocalist Billy Gayles tearing it up.

If more mid-50's ears would have heard this one, it would have caused a scandalous outrage. Makes even me wanna be a juvenile delinquent!

from 1956...

    Thanks for sharing, I knew this song from an old Ace LP but it is nice to see the real thing.
    Cheers!
