Background notes
Archive material and source history
Jimmy Gilmer and the Fireballs came together in Texas in the early 1960s, with Gilmer on vocals, George Tomsco on guitar, Dale Welch on bass, and Norman Stephens on drums. They had a straightforward rockabilly sound that worked well on stage and on record.
Their biggest moment came in 1961 with 'Bottle of Wine,' a song Gilmer wrote that reached the top 10 on the Billboard Hot 100. It became their signature track, though they also recorded other songs like 'Sugar Shack' and 'Daisy Petal Pickin'.'
Gilmer left the band in 1964, and Tomsco took over lead vocals. They kept playing and recording through the 1960s and into the 1970s, sometimes under the name Jimmy Gilmer and the Blazers due to legal issues over the Fireballs name.
