Big Sandy – Havana Moon (LOUIE relative of the Week)

Posted on February 2, 2018

OK, time for another Sandy fix.

Last week, I witnessed an excellent performance by one of the coolest cats on Planet Earth – my pal Robert Williams, aka Big Sandy, who was touring with Reverend Horton Heat. I caught ’em at the Ritz in San Jose, and Sandy unveiled a nice little surprise… a wonderful rendition of “Havana Moon!”

As some of you, may be aware, “Havana Moon” by Chuck Berry was a song that Richard Berry acknowledged as one of the songs that might have inspired Richard’s “LOUIE LOUIE!” … and no, Richard and Chuck are not related….

Meanwhile, if you happen to be in Malaga, Spain this weekend for the Rockin’ Race Jammboree, be sure to say “HIYA” to Big Sandy and his Fly-Rite Boys!
