Did you know Jimmy ( Billy )? How did you learn about this?

@@bluevelvetbully6873 Sadly, I never got to meet him. When I was about 9 years old(1970), my uncle gave me a stack of old, very well-worn 45s. In that stack was a copy of Jimmy’s “Big Green Car” which I loved..and played about a million times…until a accidentally broke it. Fast forward 2-3 decades…and I was listening to the song again here on KZitem. Among the comments was one that said “This is my uncle”. Excited that Carroll was possibly still living, I felt inclined to contact this person to tell him my “Big Green Car” story. Turns out it was indeed Carroll’s nephew. He told me that Jimmy was still living , but was in declining health…but that he(Jimmy) would love hearing my story. So he graciously relayed my story to Jimmy himself. There was brief discussions about the possibly of me driving up (to Tenn. as I recall) to meet Carroll in person and ask him to sign my new copy(thanks EBay) of “Big Green Car”. However, time wasn’t on our side and he passed away before I could go. When he died, his nephew sent me the sad news. I was so grateful that Jimmy at least knew how much his record meant to me. I do I think “Big Green Car” was his only record but it meant a lot to me. If not for his kind nephew, I would’ve never known a single thing about Jimmy Carroll. So glad we crossed paths.

@@smittysmat7826 I located him years ago - talked about Roy Moss alot. Said he was kicked off the labels due to his bad drinking. I was looking for other rab guys and his neighbors told me about him. So I called him up etc. He was kinda hiding I think - didn't want to be found. Yes, he knew about the Polecats - don't think he was neither impressed nor angry. I made the mistake of making fun of people making fun of southern people - he took it the wrong way.

Both great bands, both cover bands, and both wrote their own material. the difference was and is the Stray Cats were a commercial band, whereas the Polecats stayed true to their Rockin roots. the stray cats slowed the tempo down and changed the beat to appeal to a wider audience whereas the Polecats kept it true, indeed the Polecats still play pubs with a few hundred people in, so keeping true to their roots and close to the Rockin crowd, unlike the stray cats who require big audiences to play

I really dig this band & that goes for the song too...luv it! I'd love to meet these guys over The Backstreet Boys anyday, there is something about watching & listening these punks giving this Rockbilly hit a good twang for it's money. I 'll have to put this amoungst my personal favorites right here & right now. I really dig the hair styles these guys sport as well as their dress code & then above it all they just don't just stand there like the Beatles and sing Ya Ya Ya, they twitch baby.

The stray cats did more cover songs then the Polecats, and the Polecats have always been more popular then the stray cats on the rockin scene, the stray cats were a commercial band appealing to the masses, whilst the polecats were and are a true rockin band.

Teds only old people??? hahahahahaha, are you kidding me??? what do you know about teds and rockers??? do you know the Ted Do and the Wildest Cats in Town?.. You need listen more Rock n Roll
