Artist:  Johnny Rivers

Title:  At the Whisky a Go Go - Recorded Live, Very Live!

Date:  1964

Label:  Imperial Records   LP-9264

Cover Design and Photography:  Studio Five

Notes:  Recorded live in Hollywood, California's Whisky a Go Go this 22 year old boy from Baton Rouge wows the crowd with a fun selection of material. His clean guitar sound and vocal style carried each song along and coaxed you to join the throng on the dance floor for a quick wiggle or two. And you can tell it's Hollywood by the celebrity endorsements gracing the back cover. These include blurbs from the likes of Steve Allen, Ann Margret, Yogi Bear ("Johnny is my BoBo"), Sammy Davis Jr. and Dean just to drop a few names. Sammy brands him a swinger and I have to agree. The sound was just made for swiveling hips and alcoholic sips. A few cover photos of Johnny, the club and the crowd try bring you a little closer to being there. A fun night it must have been.
