Soul Station Feature: Rock-A-Teens

Doggone It Baby

From Richmond, Virginia, the Rock-A-Teens hit with an instrumental in 1959 and their label allowed them to make a whole album, and though it featured several other instrumentals, much of it was stone-ground rockabilly, like this track which was also the A-side of the band's second 45. Written by lead singer Vic Mizelle, it has an irresistible quality, in part because of Mizelle's vocal. The great guitar work also helps!
