A name like "Johnny Dollar" is so overtly showbiz that most people would automatically assume that it was the creation of a seasoned record company promotion department or a cigar-chomping talent manager's overwrought imagination. Surprisingly, though, it's the actual given name of one of the most overlooked early rockabilly and country talents to emerge from Texas' fertile musical soil: John Washington Dollar, Jr.
Johnny Dollar sprang upon the Texas music scene in the late 1950's sporting dark-haired good looks, a wild rebel attitude and a full-bodied rock and roller's voice to match. This former used car salesman had the right mix of talent and bravado to impress Big "D" Jamboree owner/promoter Ed McLemore and become part of Ed's Artist Services talent roster. Johnny's early collaborations with legendary songwriter Jack Rhodes yielded startlingly powerful early rockabilly gems such as Rhodes' "Green-Eyed Cat", "Rockin' Bones" (first recorded by Elroy Deitzel, later made famous by Ronnie Dawson and still later covered by The Cramps), and "Action Packed", which also served as a template for Ronnie Dawson's second 45 rpm release of the same name. Johnny and Jack often held makeshift recording and song writing sessions at Jack's Trail 80 Courts motel in Mineola, TX which contained a primitive recording studio in one of the motel's empty rental rooms. ~ http://www.rockabillyhall.com/JohnnyDollar1.html
