Huckleberry Mudflap, "Eyes Of Blue"

Hello All-

I've written previously about Huckleberry Mudflap, a great band from Beaufort, NC that formed in 1969. What we thought was their lone single, "Blue Surf", is a hands-down Carolina classic. Now, we've learned that there was at least one more Huckleberry Mudflap single. "Eyes Of Blue" recently showed up on Youtube, and the original 45 recently popped up on Ebay. This song definitely cements the band's status as North Carolina's own version of the Left Banke. Which is high praise from this fan. Listen on, and if this single's B-Side shows up, we'll post links to it. Thanks,
-Daniel

A couple of recent finds via the Carolinas Rock & Roll Remembered Facebook page

1970 Battle Of The Bands program, in Raleigh. The photos of the Prime Source and Chosen Few were accidentally switched, hence the notations.

And here's a very cool poster for a Huckleberry Mudflap show in the Outer Banks, circa 1970. Check out their single "Blue Surf" on this website.

More soon,

The Book Is Now Available In The Outer Banks/Huckleberry Mudflap

Hello All-

I'm happy to announce that you can now find our book at the Outer Banks! Island Bookstores (http://www.islandbooksobx.com) is now carrying the book at its stores in Duck, Corolla, and Kitty Hawk, NC. Just one more reason to love the Outer Banks. If you're in the neighborhood, say hello, and check out the book.

To thank Rick and Island, we're posting what might be the best pop/rock song to ever come from the Outer Banks. Huckleberry Mudflap was formed in Beaufort in 1969, and were popular throughout the region. Their lone single, "Blue Surf" got a lot of airplay in the coastal area, and still holds a special place in the hearts of many from that time. Enjoy, and I hope to see you all on the Outer Banks soon.
