(Get off that) Booze & Garlic Bread




Denny Rockwell (Get off that) Booze & Garlic Bread (Tower, 196?)

Here is a mystery record. What I know is this: Prior to Booze & Garlic Bread, Denny Rockwell was part of a due called Denny & Jay with John Cubbage, who I assume was Jay. In 1964, they released one 45 on Capitol (Hurt b/w Two Lies), which is supposed to be pop.

This 45 came out on Tower, which probably explains its garage-out-of-the-studio sound. There is a lot to like about this one but it is the combination of the dopey lyrics and the Lux Interior - style vocals that does it for me.

And that is all I have to write today.

My name is Jay Cubbage, and I sang and wrote with Denny Rockwell for about four years. We sang and wrote not only for Capitol Records, but Enith International Records/Winston Publishing, and AVA (Fred Astaire's label.) Although we had no major hits, we were well on our way when the "Beatles Invasion" killed many careers. Denny and I split shortly after that. He recorded a song we co-wrote on Apple Records, but apparently, it was never released.
