4.0 out of 5 stars Crossover fun, September 10, 2003

I learned about Bonnie Lou from the fine Finding her Voice: the Illustrated History of Women in Country Music. That book is a good source to also find a bit about Bonnie Lou and has a beautiful picture of her not featured in the linear notes.
Bonnie was not rockbilly in terms of a Janis Martin/Wanda Jackson type style. But she was a fun artist targeted more towards the teen market. The country sound with Bonnie Lou is more with the twang in her voice than her music though there are some exceptions throughout.
My favorites in the cd are the silly tunes especially "Dancing in my Socks", where to compensate for her boy's shortness, she'll make him feel better by dancing in her socks. Also Barnyard Hop is pretty catchy too. Her "Daddy O" is good but was covered even better later by the Fontane Sisters. The only sad thing is Bonnie Lou's best rockabilly performance "Friction Heat" was on another label and therefore not on this disc. :(

As an avid collector of old country music 45's, I recently
bought a large stack of mint condition 45's from the 50's.
Some of these were by a woman called Bonnie Lou. I like them
immediately and therefore went out and bought this cd. Modern
artists that claim to be "country" need to listen to this music
and get a sample of what real country music is all about.
A very enjoyable cd!

I learnt Bonnie Lou's music from Uncle Ray program on Cathay Pacific. The picture of this CD should be around 50'. I believe everybody over 40 should know the song "Seven lonely days"
