Big Big Love (Live) - Tommy Conwell and the Young Rumblers
Tommy Conwell and the Young Rumblers perform "Big Big Love" live at Market St. Station in Wilkes-Barre, PA, Sept. 8, 1988. (Audio Only).
"Big Big Love" was written in 1961 by Wynn Stewart, one of "the progenitors of the Bakersfield sound.
The track was also covered by Waylon Jennings in 1973, and released by Nick Lowe on the LP, Pinker and Prouder Than Previous, in 1988. Tommy takes the little-known song and adds his own rock-blues vibe.
The Bakersfield sound was a genre of country music developed in the mid- to late 1950s in and around Bakersfield, California. The many hit singles were largely produced by Capitol Records country music head, Ken Nelson. Bakersfield country was a reaction against the slickly produced, string orchestra-laden Nashville sound, which was becoming popular in the late 1950s. Buck Owens and the Buckaroos, and Merle Haggard and the Strangers, are the most successful artists of the original Bakersfield sound era.
The track was also covered by Waylon Jennings in 1973, and released by Nick Lowe on the LP, Pinker and Prouder Than Previous, in 1988. Tommy takes the little-known song and adds his own rock-blues vibe.

Tommy Conwell and the Young Rumblers Present Two Nights at the Blockley [2011]
Tickets still available for Tommy Conwell and the Young Rumblers playing the Blockley Pourhouse for two nights in November.
An announcement from Tommy Conwell via e-mail from tommyconwellstore.com:
Hey, you guys! We're doing it again, only this time we're doing 2 nights. We're gonna beef up the sound system a little bit, and maybe (MAYBE!) whip out some unrecorded oldies. Richard Bush from the A's is opening the first night with his band The Peace Creeps, and Smash Palace is opening the second night! Pretty good openers, huh? Tix are $25, but if you come both nights it's $40 total, and the band is gonna have a little get together with the combo ticket holders, who also are gonna get a signed poster, which hopefully will be pretty cool. I hope I didn't get anything wrong here, but the main thing is... it's going to ROCK!
Cheers,
Tommy
Tommy also made the special announcement during a WYSP Alumni guest spot on August 30.
