Liner, Listening & Album Notes:
A compilation and history of the song “Misirlou” by the author Sluggo of the Dinosaur Gardens website. An excellent read and a compelling collection of renditions of this famous song. Read the article here.
Additional reading: The Financial Times’ Pete Aspden covered a bit of the history of “Misirlou” as part of the “Life of a Song” series in 2015.
