Song of the Day | Slim Rhodes ‘Bad Girl’ - SUN Records 1956 | GUESS I’M DUMB

  • Track Name

    Bad Girl

  • Artist

    Slim Rhodes

Slim Rhodes - Bad Girl (1956)

How many songs titled Bad Girl, I wonder? Born as Ethmer Cletus Rhodes in Arkanasas, and signed to Sun Records, Slim Rhodes stood somewhere between rockabilly and country.  This fantastically moody song features a forlorn vocal and eerie steel guitar.

"No wonder they hate her"


again from the brilliant Guess Im Dumb but 'Ethmer Cletus'?! Now THATS A NAME! 

Favorite quote from resident hillbilly, Cletus? : r/TheSimpsons
