Editorial Reviews

Mastered from the original tapes for the first time, here are 27 rockabilly and hillbilly rarities from one of the music's great wackos. It would have taken a year's wages to buy these fabulously rare Lin, MGM, Kapp and Holiday Inn singles at one time. Now they're all here. Rockin' Rollin' Stone, I Wanna Go South, She's A Goin' Jessie, Somali Dolly, Evil Eye, and many more. Detailed liner notes and fabulously rare photos tell a story so strange it has to be true. No one could make this up! --This text refers to an alternate Audio CD edition.

5.0 out of 5 stars Andy Starr looks and sounds like ElvisPresley., March 22, 1999

By A Customer

This review is from: Dig Them Squeaky Shoes (Audio CD)

Andy Starr was one of the original rockabilly entertainers of the 1950's. his first record releases, "Dig Them Squeaky Shoes" and "Tell Me Why" were released on LIN in 1955. He looke adn sounded enough like Presley that he attracted the attention of the Aberbach Brothers at Hill and Range Songs, the sameorganization which placed presley's new contract (after SUN) with RCA Victor Records. However, in this instance they helped place Starr's new contract with MGM, a company sorely in need of a rockabilly winner. BEAR FAMILY records has new released all of Andy's numerour recordings covering a career of over 15 years. Collectors will find this CD a treasure trove of the best sounds and songs of this early era. Linernotes and many pictures add to the value.

4.0 out of 5 stars Rockin' Rollin' Andy, June 16, 2004

Nice raw rockabilly. The best track is "Rockin' Rollin' Stone" and tracks that were recorded with a rockabilly band named The Strikes. Featured here is a pop version of a rockabilly song "Knee Shakin'" which Don Alexander (ex. The Strikes) wrote and released first! Andy Starr died on Sep 12, 2003, seventy years old.
