BLACKJACKS, THE
BURN YOUR PLAYHOUSE DOWN / COOL GROOVES (DOUBLE A SIDE)

Following the success of The Blackjacks debut e.p. ‘One After 909’, Vee-Tone Records are delighted to be releasing their follow up single (double A side) ‘Burn Your Playhouse Down’ and ‘Cool Grooves’. ‘Burn Your Playhouse Down’ was a track originally recorded by country legend George Jones at Starday studios in the mid 50’s, the recording lay unreleased until 1979 when it was issued by ACE Records on their excellent George Jones ‘White Lightning’ LP. It’s a long-overlooked track that The Blackjacks have resurrected and given it a complete rockin’ make-over. The flip side of this killer double sider features the hugely catchy ‘Cool Grooves’, a Blackjacks original and sure to become an anthem for all us unfashionable ‘non-conformists’ out there! We love this track, cleverly crafted lyrics and a great beat. Any track containing the following lyrics is a winner as far we’re concerned… “the sound is bleak and it never gets going, you should have listened to some Buck Owens, keep your cool grooves away from me!”
