Pretty rare rockabilly record from Joey Rand on Blue Grass Records out of Kentuckey. The Long Blond Curls is the money. Heaven is where you are is a pretty lame vocal ballad, imho. I can't seem to find a date for this but the other 2 records on Blue Grass are from 1958 and 1959 so i guess this could be 1957, 58 or 59...?
The Long Blond Curls was comped on SLOW BOOGIE ROCKIN' Volume 1 CD i couldn't find much more on Mr. Rand. Just another in long line of lost wanna be rockers...

I don't think that this Blue Grass label is out of Kentucky; but rather out of New-York.
I believe that Joey Rand's real name is Joseph Graziano and he's still performing today. See http://joeyrand.com/bio-of-joey-rand

Actually Joey Rand is my father in law . His real name is Joseph Rinando, the song was written by him and his sister. He was from Brooklyn and moved out to Long Island, where he still lives.
Thanks Darrel!!
