Not so much the jacket, but the sideburns gotta be in the mix.
Most of the stuff the DJ played was on a label called Buffalo Bop. There are, from what I remember, over 20 CDs devoted just to old rock instrumentals from the 50s. There are CDs with rockabilly, as well, but I'm not sure about jump blues.
I've listened to the clips from Darge's CD and the Buffalo Bop volumes are better unless you want jump blues tracks.
Everyone knows the famous soul, rock, and country names, and like the RAERS, there were people in local regions doing the same thing, trying to get some of that shine. Some are really bad, but some are quite good.
What label is this on, BTW?

I hear good things about these:
now these are good covers!!!
A lot of this stuff has been comped on other albums, but if you don't own Ric Cartey's raw "Scratchin' On My Screen," this looks like a good place to pick it up. Lotta jump-blues stuff mixed in with the rockabilly, but then again most folks who like one like the other. (At least one of these tracks that I know - the Planet Rockers' "Bateroo" - is from the nineties, but it fits right in all the same.)
The R&B on this Keb Darge comp is unmistakably "OLD, old."
Hardly raer. Next.
You missed the most obvious "common" record on this CD, Chuck Berry's "Too Much Monkey Business."
I respect what they're doing but
