Dean Carter

Also included on Ear-Piercing Punk is a wacky version of “Jailhouse Rock” by Dean Carter, who also performs the scorching “Rebel Woman”.  The album opens with a great version of “I’m a Hog for You Baby” by the Groupies; that might be the coolest Leiber/Stoller (i.e., Jerry Leiber and Mike Stoller) song of them all – “Jailhouse Rock” (a big hit song for Elvis Presley, not to mention a movie, Jailhouse Rock) is another of their many, many classics.
