Carmen Martin w/ Frank Trevino, San Angelo

Runnin' a concurrent thing this time around... a chick rocker here at the 'Stomp and ANOTHER chick rocker over at Diggin' It!!! So make sure ya' dig 'em both!

CARMEN MARTIN W/ THE FRANK TREVINO COMBO- Bouncing Heart (Carmay 100)

I'll be brief.

Rocker with wiggledy-wobbledy geetar. And a bit of a bounce.

The Frank Trevino Combo seems to have been a society dance combo- black ties and such- based on a googleable mention, so possibly a bit out of character with this release. Or perhaps not as I've also seen Frank listed as guitarist on an Askel label lp.

Early 60s.

ABOUT THE SOUNDS

In my 14 years of West Texas livin' I've fallen in love with the area's incredible musical history. From the hoakum swing of Bob Skyles and His Skyrockets to Buddy Holly to the funkiness of El Paso's Soul Ones... it's all so very amazing. But for every Buddy Holly or Roy Orbison there were a hundred Fred Crawfords plying their trade as well. It's these forgotten folks who slaved away in the honky tonks, teen centers, roller rinks, and dance halls of the region that will be served and documented here.
What is West Texas? For this blog's purposes the eastern boundary runs southwest from Wichita Falls along HWY 87 and then down HWY 277 to Abilene on through San Angelo and down to Del Rio on the border. That also ropes in spots in the road such as Amariller, Lubbock, Midland, Odessa, Big Spring, El Paso, and Tahoka.
Eastern New Mexico? Southeastern New Mexico might be a better description geographically as I'm concerned with the area that is bordered by HWY 70 which runs from Clovis southwest to Las Cruces.
This is a labor of love. The sounds are part of that love. If you are a copyright owner for a song I've posted and would rather it not be here please contact me and I will remove it.
