Here is some info on this RARE 45 from the Rare Rockabilly website: During 1964 Jeff recorded the third commercial release of his career. Cut in Phoenix and produced by Jerry Reece, the session saw the return of guitarist Gene Little and bassist "Peewee" to the studio to back Jeff. Two original tunes were waxed, "I Said It And I'm Glad" (written by Jeff and Gene Little) and "What's This World Coming To". The latter title was a self-composed lament set to the tune of "Battle Hymn Of The Republic." Jeff's reasons for composing this torrid political statement was due to his "... dismay with the 'hippies' protesting, and lack of respect for the US Military and basically the decay in the morals and standards at the time." Released on Jerry Reece's Phoenix based Dewl label, Jeff anticipated a minor furor over "What's This World Coming To". "That one got quite a bit of attention especially in California where one deejay told me, 'If I played that the hippies would attack our station'." To Jeff's surprise, and the detriment of the west coast long hair set, the Dewl record became quite popular in Las Vegas.
