	Scotty Moore - Starlite Wranglers
		Believe it or not, "My Kind of Carrin' On" by Doug Poindexter and the Starlite Wranglers, Sun #202, 1954, was a predecessor to the Rockabilly sound in several ways, as it lent its suggestive lyrical content to the form, as well as discovering two band members who would soon forge the Rockabilly sound.
		The Starlite Wranglers is where the famed team of Scotty Moore, and Bill Black came to Sun.
		That fact ended Doug Poindexter's recording at Sun, but within weeks, Scotty and Bill would team with a young 19 year old to create Rock n' Roll.

	Sun 2004
		The fates of the 19-year-old Memphis truck driver at Crown Electric and Wrangler cohorts Moore and bassist Bill Black were famously altered 50 years ago this Monday, when they recorded a raucous cover of the Arthur 'Big Boy' Crudup blues number "That's All Right" at Sun Studio, forever changing popular music.

		A key stop on the Sun journey takes place during "My Kind Of Carryin' On," by future insurance salesman Doug Poindexter and The Starlite Wranglers.
		The Starlite Wranglers included legendary Elvis accomplices Scotty Moore on guitar and Bill Black on bass.
		Poindexter wasn't much of a singer (his delivery made it seem as if he was unaware that the lyrics were risque), but we can hear the seeds of Moore's imminent breakthrough with Presley in his brief solo bursts.

		Such is the way of the world that his most artistically important contributions, as one-third of the rockabilly trio that Elvis Presley fronted at the beginning of his career, brought him much less commercial reward than the far less remarkable hit records under his own name.
		Black first recorded for Sun Records in early 1954 as a member of a country band, Doug Poindexter and the Starlite Wranglers, who also included guitarist Scotty Moore.
		That group issued just one single for Sun, but that was enough to make the talents of Black and Moore known to Sun head Sam Phillips, who put the pair together with Elvis Presley.

		Here is my interpretation of the words and chord basics for this strange little gem I found on the Sunbox, a three LP box set of early Sun recordings.
		According to the liner notes, this was Poindexter's only recording for Sun (Sun 202), recorded in May 1954.
		As I said, this song is both strange and a gem, so try to hear the original recording if you can.
