about
Crazy Teens were a late 1950s rock & roll group from Tuscaloosa, Alabama. They released one single in 1959 "Crazy Date / Rebel Boogie". Inspired by Chuck Berry’s "No Money Down", Dave Reynolds had written the song Crazy Date at the age of 13, and then his sister, Jeanne came up with the lyrics while they were living in Miami, Florida. Besides Chuck Berry, Dave was especially influenced by Bo Diddley, Muddy Waters and Count Basie at the time, and he was musically inclined from an early age. Dave started out playing bass fiddle, and then the ukulele before turning to the guitar; at the time of "Crazy Date" he played a Gibson ES 125 guitar with a single pickup. After the family moved to Tuscaloosa, Dave started looking around for other musicians to play with and found guitarist, James Farris; guitarist, Ronnie Foster; and drummer, Billy Ward. Dave’s father, William Neville Reynolds, supported his son’s musical efforts not only by encouraging him to start a band and driving him to rehearsals and gigs but by paying for the recording and pressing of "Crazy Date".
