Hit: 5 Stars
Roots Of Rockabilly is exactly what its title implies: 26 toetappers from 1950 that presaged rock's 1954 explosion. Red Foley's line "Let's all dance together and have a wonderful time," in "Birmingham Bounce" embodies the CD's carefree vibe.
Well-chosen obscurities outnumber hits such as Hank Snow's "I'm Movin' On" and Eddy Arnold's "Cuddle Buggin' Baby." Hank Thompson's "Humpty Dumpty Boogie" tries to cash in on his earlier "Humpty Dumpty Heart." Hardrock Gunter would later re-record "Gonna Dance All Night" (here on Bama) for Sun. The Maddox Brothers & Rose sound typically untamable. Guitar/steel guitar wunderkinds Jimmy Bryant and Speedy West appear as a duo after backing Tennessee Ernie (Ford) and Kay Starr's comically bickering "Ain't Nobody's Business But My Own." Revising his folk standard "Ida Red," Bob Wills' western swing "Ida Red Likes The Boogie" hints at the word boogie's carnal origins.
This English-based Acrobat label's well-remastered, nicely annotated, and lushly illustrated compilation jumps from label to label (due to the age of these tracks, they are public domain in Europe). Hopefully, Acrobat has companion discs in the works for subsequent years that will be just as lovingly assembled.
Roots Of Rockabilly Vol 1 Poster
As the years pass it becomes more difficult to disentangle truth from myth, but even as the half century is now upon us it is important to reassert the fact that rockabilly ? southern hillbilly rock 'n' roll ? didn't fall out of a clear blue sky in July 1954 into a small Memphis recording studio. Elvis didn't invent rockabilly any more than Louis Armstrong invented jazz or Hank Williams invented honky-tonk country music, but like them his charisma and innate showmanship allowed him to be the catalyst that introduced a previously unaware general public to a musical style that had been fermenting for several years. This new series from Acrobat Records has been devised to reveal the very sounds, both hits and obscurities, which served to fuel the Big Bang that occurred at Sam Phillips' Sun Studio in 1954-55 and will take us year-by-year to the birth of rockabilly and its acceptance by the mainstream in 1955 when Elvis was sold to RCA Victor and every label, both major and independent, scrambled to find their own local answer to the Presley phenomenon.Country Music CDs
