I love that song. It was one of the first songs I learned on the guitar as a teenager. The “Ventures” did an acceptable cover of the song, but it just didn’t have that bluesy feel that Doggett had.
Doggett also had a song called “Hold It”, which of the several bands I’ve had over the years, we always used for a theme/break song.
The funny part is, Bill Doggett played the organ, not the guitar. I don’t remember his guitar players name anymore, but I think he had several over time.
The guitar player on Honky Tonk was Billy Butler, and he played a one of the Gibson archtop jazz guitars like a L-5 etc with P-90 pickups which were the top of the line pickup at the time...Hope that helps...Amazing solo..People today still talk about that..
