• Lyhyt kuvaus Hot Rockabilly and tear jerking country music from 1956 to 1979 He began playing in local nightclubs at the age of 13 and formed his first band, The Sunset Rhythmairs, with three brothers in 1951. In 1956 he had his own radio show in Picayune and between 1957 and 1959 he was a regular guest at the Pearl River Jamboree (WHXY) in Bogalusa, Louisiana. Vern Pullens’ best rockabilly recordings were madine Houston, such as “It’s My Life, Mama Don’t Allow No Boppin’, You Don’t Mean To Make Me Cry” and two versions of “Bop Crazy Baby”. His first record “Bop Crazy Baby / It’s My Life” (Spade 1927) was only distributed locally due to Spade’s lack of funds and is one of the most sought after rockabilly records today. If you want to own one you have got to spend aboutUSD 1.000. Vern signed with Big Howdy record and “I Sent You The Pillow / Loving You” (785) was released in September 1960, followed by “Beautiful, You / It Hurts Enough To Cry” in December 1960. When the rockabilly revival started in Europe in the mid 1970s Vern saw some new releases. In 1979,he did arecording session at American Sound Studio in Memphis, Tennessee. The top-class backing consisted of former SUN Records musicians such as Marcus van Story (bass), Jerry Lee “Smoochy” Smith (piano) and Al Hopson (guitar) as well as Stan Kesler as engineer. Vern Pullens continued to play in local clubs and had hoped that he could also come to Europe to perform. Unfortunately, nothing came of it. Vern was clearly a terrific country singer who could also double in rockabilly music, but he simply never got that final break. A personal tragedy was that his house burned down, along with all his memorabilia. He was only able to save an old photo. As a bricklayer, he began to build himself a new house in Carrie, Mississippi, where he lived until his death from cancer on July 19, 2001.
