Lou Ann Barton - “Stevie and I were young and wild without a care in the world. There were only a few of us playing this kind of music, so we were thrown together in our little circle. Everybody in our band had a bunch of different personalities. For a while I called Stevie "Brady", and that became his name. He called me "Mudah". But we grew up fast and hard; we learned how to be alcoholics together, too. Just crazy kids making music. We first met in around 1975 when Jimmie saw me singing in Dallas and said, "I want you to be in my new band," which was the Fabulous Thunderbirds. Stevie was playing in a band called the Cobras, and after the Thunderbirds and I decided not to work together anymore, I asked Stevie if he wanted to do something with me. We put together a band called Triple Threat. When that band dissolved, we decided just to call it Double Trouble, because he and I were both featured. So that was the original Double Trouble. He and Jimmie couldn't be any closer to me than my own brothers. We've lived together for almost twenty years, lived in the same neighborhood and actually raised each other. We came up from the depths when we were getting fifty cents a night per head to play R&B, which nobody liked, and being white kids as well - He really worked hard to make his success possible. He was just so damned talented.”

these were some of the post-war session men who recoiled at playing the new big thing, Rock n Roll, which lead to their demise as they bemoaned the young guys coming up who were very willing to do those jobs, saying they were going to wreck the business. and they did. drummer Hal Blaine remembered the transition he was a major part of and having coined the phrase, The Wrecking Crew.
