Record #0418: The House of Blue Lights / Can't Help Wonderin' – CHUCK MILLER

Mercury 70627 (original) USA, May 1955
Words & Music bySide ADon Raye, Freddie Slack; Side B – Chuck Miller
Musicians: Chuck Miller (vocals and piano), Robert Douglass (upright bass and backing vocals), others unknown
Recording sessions: New York, NY, Mar./Apr. 1955

I posted another cover version of the title song here earlier. This is a bit different, but still a very cool boogie-woogie piano number.

This was Miller's first single with Mercury and he wanted to change his style from his Capitol years, when he typically recorded with a big band style.

List price:  Very Good+ is $10, Near Mint is $20
