Drums Jimmie Lott
More Info:
Just before the first 'How Do You Think I Feel?' tryout Scotty Moore can be heard playing the 'Blues Stay Away From Me' riff used on the slow version of 'I'm Left, You're Right'. It's rather strange if 'You're a Heartbreaker' was rehearsed two months after it was released as a single. The information that 'How Do You Think I Feel?' and 'You're a Heartbreaker' were rehearsed at this session comes from drummer Jimmie Lott's memory (see booklet of 50's Box) and it seems that the master of 'I'm Left, You're Right, She's Gone' and the 'How Do You Think I Feel?' tryout are the only known recordings with Jimmy Lott on drums. So the date could be correct, but it's not safe to say that 'You're a Heartbreaker' really was rehearsed on this session. Lee Cotten suggests that both versions 'I'm Left, You're Right' may have been recorded on November 15, 1954.
