Cat Lee King - Hallo Kleine Lu
Here's another one of those corny old German Swing tunes I love. Many of them were translated covers of American Pop or Jazz songs, but this was not. It was written and originally recorded by 'The 3 Travellers' als "Servus kleine Lu". I changed very little regarding the arrangement, and simply rerecorded it with a bigger lineup consisting of piano, guitar, bass, drums and the accordion, all of which I played myself.
Hope you like it!

Cat Lee King - Red Hot (Billy Lee Riley)
Просмотров 11523 часа назад
This Billy Lee Riley song from 1957 is one of my favorite Rockabilly songs. Featuring the all-time great Sun Studios gang of Jerry Lee Lewis, Roland Janes and Jimmy Van Eaton, it's one of those few magic takes, where everything falls into place perfectly. I've loved it since I was a young boy, and I remember playing a tragically trashy rendition of it at my very fist gig, aged 16. Last year I w...
Cat Lee King - Stone Cold Man (The Charmer Cover)
Просмотров 7821 день назад
So this is me tryin to dip a toe into Jamaican Calypso. All proper Calypso tunes tell original little stories, and I loved this one - and the tongue-in-cheek presentation - especially. The artist who (presumably wrote and) recorded this song has been credited as Eugene Walcott, Minister Louis Farrakhan, or The Charmer. Als always, I've played and overdubbed all instruments myself. Hope you like...
Cat Lee King - Hallo Kleine Maus (Saso Avsenik Cover)
Просмотров 33721 день назад
I've had a soft spot for traditional German folk music since I was a little child. When I stumbled over this tune by Saso Avsenik's band, played in peak perfect Oberkrainer style, I was hell-bent on covering it my way. So here it goes. As usual, I played all instruments and sang the backing vocals myself. Hope you like it!
Cat Lee King - I fought the Law
Просмотров 369Месяц назад
Although it may be considered a Punk song by most people these days, due to the famous version by the Clash, "I fought the Law" was written and first recorded in 1960 by Sonny Curtis, guitarist of Buddy Holly's Crickets after Buddy's death, which makes it a first generation Rockabilly song. Since then it's been covered a thousand times by everybody from Hank Williams Jr to Green Day. Living und...
Cat Lee King - No More Doggin'
Просмотров 1482 месяца назад
I like 1950s Doo-Wop songs where the bass voice takes the lead like "Sixty Minute Man" by the Dominoes or the Platters' version of "Roses of Picardy". Sometimes I try to imagine how a song would sound, if it was arranged like that. Here's such a version of Rosco Gordon's "No more Doggin" from 1952. I sang and played all voices and instruments and then mixed them to emulate a 1950s studio record...
Cat Lee King - Blue Velvet
Просмотров 4412 месяца назад
Tony Bennet originally recorded this beautiful song in 1951. But it took another 12 years, before Bobby Vinton's magnificent take on it made it a hit. I also love the 1955 version by the Clovers very much, and arranged my own version somewhere in between those two. Hope you like it!
Cat Lee King - Tell my Why
Просмотров 3432 месяца назад
Sometimes when on tour, we like to make up similar sounding parody lyrics for songs we like or play ourselves. This is such a little parody on our version of Stick McGhee's Rhythm'n'Blues classic "Drinkin Wine Spoo-dee-oo-dee", which you can listen to right here: ruclips.net/video/s-o20Kf-wUY/видео.html. Hope you like it!
Cat Lee King - Rhythm of the Rain (Ska Version)
Просмотров 2152 месяца назад
Every now and then I hear a song, and immediately think: "This oughtta be done as a chicago shuffle" or "This would make perfect sense with a New Orleans groove". When I stumbled over "Rhythm of the Rain" by The Cascades from 1963, I thought: "This oughtta be done with a Ska groove." So here it goes. Hope, you enjoy it!
Cat Lee King - You're the One
Просмотров 3683 месяца назад
This is my version of a Doo-Wop ballad originally recorded by "The Spiders" in 1954. I arranged it with a more basic lineup to give it a sound closer to earlier Vocal R'n'B groups such as "The Ravens", "The Sparrows" or the "Ink Spots". All instruments and vocals done by myself. Hope you like it!
Cat Lee King - Im Automobil
Просмотров 2003 месяца назад
I've always had a soft spot for corny German versions of jazz standards. This here tune is basically "Exactly like you" from 1930's Broadway show 'Lew Leslie's International Revue'. It has also been recorded under the title "Weil ich Dich so lieb hab". I just put this little version together for fun. Hope y'all like it!
Cat Lee King - When the Rooster Crows (Big Joe Turner)
Просмотров 1523 месяца назад
Big Joe Turner, 'the Boss of the Blues', is one of the greatest and most influential Blues singers of all time. This song of his, originally recorded in 1949, is one of my favorites. That's why I've been playing it with my band "Cat & the Mint" for years. This is a version I recorded all on my own. Hope you like it!

Whoever was playing these drum overdubs was not in their class. Just awful. Love the Trio's performance, though.
Oooo wauuu 😮😮😮. Was für ein Künstler 🤯 Ich liebe diese Vintage version - mag den Les Paul - Django Reinhard - Gitarren Karakter aber genau so auch “Deine Hand Shrift” Dankeschön für deine Musik! LG aus Slowenien Sašo
Vielen Dank! Freut mich sehr!
Hoffentlich auf dem nächsten Album... Wann?!? Can't wait 🎶🎙🎶
Great tune, first time hearing this. Thought I had heard all of Buddy's songs.
you are great man!!!
Pretty good job...

cat i have an idea for you

@@CatLeeKing93 start a channel where you find music, remix music and maybe JUST MAYBEEEEEE make music
@@yournormaltylerfan 😄
Wow, this is great! Really well executed. Was looking for BH songs produced from his rough recordings. Do any more besides this one?
Not yet, maybe some day...
Nice!
Ray Collins cover!? Wenn es eine Band darf, dann Die. Stimmt ja wirklich alles bei Euch, altes Rockabillyherz grüßt.
Gee. MIt DIESER Band und DIESER Stimme kannst Du jeden Swing beleben, ganz gleich ob Alt ob Neu! Danke für jeden Track, der auf YT zu von Euch finden ist!
My morning just started, in a beautiful way😊 I am listening to this song ❤ It’s a sad song , I still love it ❤️
Who woulda' thunk it could work so well as a ska tune? You woulda', that's who. Great job!
This is incredible man! Nobodys really doing early R&B stuff like this and definitely not THIS well. If youd ever wanna collaborate itd be a blast. Im not great but i bet we could make something good. ruclips.net/video/jco3U7TfhK4/видео.htmlsi=Tz5Sqh07sfu1L6F6
Yeahhh!! Gina!!!
I’m familiar with 2 other versions the 1st one was recorded in New York, City when Buddy’s wife released the Apartment Tapes. The 2nd version was overdubbed at Norman Petty’s studio in Clovis, New Mexico. In the overdubbed process Petty used The Fireballs to provide the music 🎼 and they did a very awesome 👏 job. This 3rd version does sound great as well. I’m familiar with the 1st versions because in 1979 I had the box set entitled The Complete Buddy Holly. It had a 120 songs including the Apartment Tapes with only Buddy and his guitar 🎸. The overdubbed versions were also included. That box set included 6 LPs. I have a feeling that those tapes might produce newer versions in the future.
I know these versions too, the Fireballs version is pretty cool! I only found out that those exist after putting this online though :D
Ah i love this
Sorry can't choose,,, grandiose and to think that you played the drum later than the original, superb as if it was always meant to be this way
A blast from my childhood! I was in love with her aged 5! 😂
Unglaublich cool 😎 wie kann man nur sooooo talentiert sein! Großartig 👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻
They (and you) sound so good. Congratulations.
Thank you!
Really great version!
Great stuff!
Very cool!
❤❤❤❤❤❤❤😂😂😂😅😅😅😅
❤
you rock man
As a drummer since 1970, and as the consummate lover of eclectic music, I must say you are an arteest! I am tired of the ubiquitous "advanced drumming", and fully expected the skins to be overplayed...in the foreground. What a pleasant surprise to hear what anyone would think was a totally original recording -- drums and all. You should have a thousand and nine thumbs-up and 91 compliments. New subscriber!
PS What I mean by advanced drumming are the chops by guys like Anton Fig, Gavin Harrison and others. Of course these guys are great, but -- well, nevermind. I feel an essay coming on and would rather "put a sock in it", lol.
Thank you very much! Glad you like it! Please spread the word ;)
This is cool, good job.
Weiter so!!
Nice one Cat, Buddy would have liked what you have done ,in my opinion.
Thanks!
