Editorial Reviews

CD with 40-page booklet. Back in 1992, we decided that Rockabilly sounded good on CD, so we had the idea that we should create the all-time definitive Rockabilly series. Above all, Rockabilly was music recorded for 45RPM singles, so we designed a Rockabilly series label-by-label instead of artist-by-artist, and we compiled it for listening pleasure. Just the great stuff, plus a few super rarities. Every CD would be for the most part a 30 song jukebox of the finest Rockabilly ever recorded for all the great labels. We sourced the very best sounding tapes and took them to the best mastering engineers, and then we took the packaging to a new level. We adopted the catchphrase of the first Rockabilly dee-jay, Dewey Phillips, THAT'LL FLAT GIT IT, and we hired Bill Millar, who'd compiled the still-classic label-oriented Rockabilly LPs in the 1970s and 1980s, to write the notes. We looked for previously unpublished photos, and tried to find all the artists who'd never been found before. The result is a truly definitive series that now runs to over TWENTY-FIVE volumes.

31 rockabilly tracks from the vaults of Sun Records, featuring Glenn Honeycutt, Dick Penner, Gene Simmons, Jimmy Haggett, Jimmy Wages, Ray Harris, Roy Hall, James Wood +

This review is from: That'll Flat Git It!, Vol. 14: Rockabilly From The Sun Vaults (Audio CD)

If you're reading this, you probably know all about the history of Sun records and the great artists that passed through its doors; if you don't, then where you been livin', man? Well, you won't find any of the "big" artists on this cd, but you will find some good old rockabilly cut by a bunch of cats who were looking to be the next Elvis. Some of the cuts were unreleased, others were demos sent by artists hoping to get called back to make a record for Sun. A couple of these artists are unknown. If you can afford the Sun singles collection, that's great, but who won't find any of the cuts on this cd on there. And some of this stuff is pretty good, and stands on its own merits. I second the call on Jimmy Wages; he was just a little too primitive and twisted to have a record released back in the mid 1950's. Both of his tunes on here rock! In fact, out of 31 songs, there are really only about 5 or 6 that I want to skip over. The songs by Dick Penner, Andy Anderson, Malcolm Yelvington, Ernie Barton, and the two unknown artists are particular winners in my book, but I've caught myself singing a bunch of other ones too. Not only do you get a bunch of pretty good to excellent songs, you get a nice fat booklet of liner notes, photographs etc., that is simply first rate. All in all, this is an excellent overview of some obscure and rockin tunes.
