Compilation info

A stripped-down mixture of country, blues, Western swing, boogie-woogie, country, and R&B, rockabilly emerged in the early ’50s by combining all of the above styles with a lyrical philosophy that echoed the sentiments of a teenager getting out of the house, into a car, and having fun on a Friday night, and while it was only around as a current, intact style for a couple of years, rockabilly set the stage for rock & roll, which grabbed rockabilly’s wild, have-fun attitude and turned it into a musical explosion that rewrote the rules for what a pop record could be. This 25-track set collects some pretty rare and vintage rockabilly sides, none of which ever came close to a Top 40 list, including David Ray’s timeless “Lonesome Baby Blues,” Jim Wilson’s rattling, piano-led “Have a Tear on Me,” and Tooter Boatman’s (there’s a stage name!) get-out-of-school anthem “Life Begins at 4 O’clock,” among other obscure but wonderful examples of rockabilly at its best. ~ Steve Leggett

While the majority of rockabilly collections are denoted as featuring a slew of rare or otherwise unavailable tracks, truth be known very few really do. This 25 cut obscurities compilation however is the real deal. An absolute must for collectors of this enduring genre, this superb compilation will prove to be the holy grail for anyone with even a hint of interest in hearing, cherishing and owning forever recordings that never troubled the top 40 but remain amongst the finest examples of music made during the golden age of rockabilly.

This 25 cut obscurities compilation however is the real deal. Featuring only rockabilly rarities that have never before seen the light of day on CD, or indeed on anything apart from, in a few cases, original 45rpm releases on tiny independent southern US labels existing for short periods in the mid to late 1950s.
