JERRY RAINWATER and THE BLUE ROCKETS -Petite Fillette (Blue Diamond No#)
According to a single testimonial on the interwebs Jerry Rainwater was a rock n' roller from Snyder, Texas who on a few occasions performed at the theater in Colorado City. The address on the Blue Diamond label places him, or at the very least the label, in Snyder as well.
What Jerry left behind is an interesting record to say the very least. It's country, but it's a little bit rock n' roll too. There's an Elvis vibe. Some Jack Scott as well. And the subject matter? Well... odd, odd, odd.
There would be a late-70s lp release by Rainwater on an Odessa label as well. Big Jerry Reed (country dude, not blues guy) flavor on that album.
And as mentioned below Jerry died in November of 2011.

Monologue gives it a bit of a creepster vibe but overall this is a pretty amazing 45.

Jerry passed away from cancer yesterday, November 15th, 2011, in Conroe, Texas. He was quite a character, all the way to the end. An entertainer and a hoot to know....
