All instrumentals composed by Marion Carpenter, Tim Gillis, Troy Lewis, Bobby Summerlin (or Sumerlin) and Leo Ladner, published by Singing River (BMI). Ax Records and Singing River Music owned by Marion Carpenter.

Leo Ladner was a fixture of the Gulfport/Biloxi music scene. Ladner later fronted the house band at Sy Simon's club - the place for local country music.  "I was about 18 years old when I did that first session at Sun with Ernie Chaffin". Ladner recorded with Jerry Lee Lewis at Sun on at least three sessions in 1959. I got the job with Jerry Lee through Roy Hall.

The Monster Hop

Recent addition to my Rite list, this record is incorrectly listed at Rockin' Country Style as a Arizona label  and, also incorrectly, as the same Jimmy Dee on Inner-Glo, Nashville and Trail. 

For a discussion about the two Pixie and the two Jimmy Dee, see 45cat 

These Meteors are, I assume, the same band who recorded two singles for the Ax label. The idendity of this Jimmy Dee is still unknown.
