Shake, Rattle, and Roll (electric dulcimer cover)

Cover of ‘50s rock / R&B classic “Shake, Rattle, and Roll,” played on a 3-string electric mountain dulcimer by Sam Edelston. Some people say this song in 1954 helped touch off the rock & roll era – TWO versions of this song, in fact. It was originally written for rhythm & blues singer Big Joe Turner, with rather spicy lyrics. A few months later, Bill Haley and His Comets released a version with sanitized lyrics. Personally, I like the original lyrics better. The cleaned-up version makes me roll my eyes and grit my teeth. 😉 I read recently that Turner and Haley became friends, and even toured together. Dulcimers are a natural instrument for pop and rock music. In fact, I even say that dulcimers are among the world's coolest musical instruments, and they deserve to be known by the general public - the way that everybody knows guitars and ukuleles. Though usually associated with old folk songs and tunes, dulcimers are great for a shocking variety of modern music, too. I do these videos to inspire more people to play and listen to dulcimer music, in diverse, non-traditional styles.

Website: www.SamTheMusicMan.com Technical details: DulciMaster solid-body electric dulcimer built by John Knopf. He basically married the heart of a Stratocaster to the body of a dulcimer. Tuned DAD, the recording starts in D and modulates to E toward the end. No extra frets are used in this video. The dulcimer is running through an octave pedal, overdrive, and chorus, with a bit of delay at the end of the chain. I also put a little delay on my vocal mic. Interesting story: Songwriting credit is listed as Charles E. Calhoun, but the writer was actually named Jesse Stone. Turner was recording on Atlantic Records, so the “house” publishing company was used, and it was affiliated with BMI, but Stone was affiliated with ASCAP. Calhoun was the pen name he used for his BMI songs. Either way, I’ve loved this song for many years.
