I feel privileged to own a copy of this record. From the conditions of the labels, you might think its been through a flood. I sometimes imagine it survived Hurricane Katrina, but it was probably just a burst water pipe or something equally mundane. Whatever this record has endured, the most important thing in my book is how it sounds and it sounds damn good to me. Its an extreme example of what record sellers describe as a looks rough, plays tough or look beat, plays neat item. Number 9 Train / Wildcat Tamer is a two-sided adrenaline fueled rocknroll monster. It was the first record Allen Bunn made under the moniker Tarheel Slim and one of the only ones he made without accompaniment from his wife, Little Ann. Featuring Wild Jimmy Spruill on guitar and Horace Cooper on piano, this beast was recorded in New York and released on Bobby Robinsons Fury label in 1958. Ive written plenty about Tarheel Slim and Bobby Robinson in the past, but as much as I like all those other records, this is the one.
