Ricky Nelson - Hello Mary Lou / Travelin' Man download free

This is Rick Nelson at the peak of his success. A two-sided hit single, and deservedly so. "Travelin' Man" sees cocksman Nelson bragging about his many loves around the world, but the music is strangely melancholic, as if there is regret about his adventures."Hello Mary Lou", penned by Gene Pitney, is an energetic dose of pop music with a decidedly country feel, which Nelson proved to be excellent at in later years. Rock and roll in the early sixties was pretty much stagnant. But pop music, thanks to Carole King and Gerry Goffin, was becoming interesting. Nelson went on to do a lot of sub-par pop in the years following this release, but this single finds Rick at the top of his game.
