Carl Holmes
is not a familiar name outside of the sphere of record collecting
types. This despite the fact that he had a pretty solid track record,
recording for local and national labels through the 1960’s into the
early 70’s.
He formed Carl Holmes and the Commanders in the early 60’s. Featuring Holmes on guitar, Marco King on vocals, Sports Lewis on sax, Fats Howard on electric piano, Calvin Irons on bass and John Holmes
on drums, The Commanders recorded a full length LP, ‘Twist Party at the
Roundtable’ for Atlantic in 1962. The LP (from which a 45 of ‘Mashed
Potatoes” was released) is a slice of rocking R&B, composed almost
entirely of hepped up versions of classics like ‘New Orleans’, ‘Good
Good Lovin’ and ‘Shout’.
The Commanders would go on to record 45s for Parkway (the crazed ‘I
Want My Ya Ya’), and Verve (‘Telegram’).
In May of 1966 a pre-Experience Jimi Hendrix gigged with the group but never recorded with them.

Comment: Many of the albums which are being offered are
nearly impossible to find in any condition and many of these albums
could possibly be the finest examples that survive today. The opportunity to acquire these excellent do wop,
R&B, rock 'n' roll, blues and soul and Jazz albums might not arise again for
many years if ever.
