BIG SONNY & HIS FURYS- Fail Safe(Best 112)
Both sides of this early Sonny Farlow release bounce- there's a rubber band-esque bounciness to the production. This would seem to be one of the earliest productions from the prolific 'Gum' publishing company that operated out of Mesilla Park. Sonny was an El Paso boy, though. He later recorded a handful of sides for Suemi including "A Magic Touch"(unreleased until recently) and then later released an album with former Mother (Zappa) Jimmy Carl Black & the Loboys. Prior to the Loboys Farlow evidently replaced Doug Sahm as lead singer for a reformed "Quintet".
Little bit more on Sonny over at the always excellent El Paso Musicians blog.

Man, this is a killer. Got a trace of "Comin' Home Baby" to it, too.
The new b&w home page photo is sweet.
Decent 45 and should be had for $15 as old stock. Ton of 'em floating around.
The current LSS logo was taken just south of Marfa.
