KOSMO's VINYL of the Week: This week we are in Nashville, Tennessee on the 16th Feb. 1957, for Ronnie Self's "Big Fool", first released as a b-side on Columbia... "I first heard of Ronnie Self on the UK "Rockabilly CBS Classics Vol 1" LP when it came out in 1977. "Rockin" Ronnie Self was born in Tin Town, Missouri and only recorded one minor hit himself, but he did have some success as a writer for Brenda Lee. Self is usually cited for his more frenzied deliveries such as "Bop A Lena" and was only 18 years old when he cut this. He only lived to be 43 and by all accounts was prone to extremely wild behavior in his later years (when he was no stranger to his local jail)." "Authentic is a word that comes to mind." - KV
