A Callous Approach to the Bakersfield Name

Mickey Kalis

Kalis likely used studio musicians for this self-produced single and perhaps chose the pseudo-band name for its alliterative flow. Mickey wrote both sides, though "2:10 to Yuma" was a near-title he borrowed from a 1957 western movie that owed its life from a novel. The vocals on it are by Mickey and wife Linda. Mickey growls along solo on the flip. The record company was located in Youngstown, Ohio.
