5.0 out of 5 stars Get this CD or Go Home...., August 1, 2003

By	Matthew F. Strickland (Redford, MI USA) - See all my reviews (REAL NAME)

"Get Hot or Go Home", put out by the Country Music Foundation, is one of the best rockabilly compiliations to come out of the U.S. period. It features darn near every song by the once rockabilly maniac/now bus driver Joe Clay. You'll be boppin your feet off with hits like "Ducktail", "Sixteen Chicks", "Get on the Right Track", etc..

Other standouts on the CD are Homer and Jethro- "Two Tone Shoes" (a parody of Carl Perkin's "Blue Suede Shoes"), Rick Carty - "Ohh Eee" and Pee Wee King - "Catty Town". Pick it up if you can find this scarce one!

4.0 out of 5 stars Great Rock'a'billy lives again!, July 12, 2003

By	Narciso Lopez "Nixter" (Long Beach, CA. USA) - See all my reviews (REAL NAME)

This is a great compilation of some great RCA vintage Rock'A'Billy music. It was great to find Joe Clay which makes this cd worth buying. Especialy his version of "Doggone it" which is truly a lost gem! The rest is incidental background rock'n' roll. This compilation also has incredible liner notes. All comps should be done in this fashion. Only 4 stars and thats due to the other groups or individuals in this collection.

5.0 out of 5 stars Rock-A-Billy Review, February 20, 2007

By	The Mean Eyed Cat "Rock-A-Billy Review" (KNON Dallas, Texas) - See all my reviews

33 songs in all. Four tracks never before released, including Tommy Blake's cover of Johnny Horton's "Honky Tonk Mind." Five other tracks on this disc where never released here in the U.S.A

An excellent collection of Rock-A-Billy rarities and worth adding to your Rock-A-Billy collection, if for no other reason than Joe Clay's 9 songs.
