Jimmy Atkins & His Pinetoppers - I'm A Ding Dong Daddy (From Dumas)
An energetic cut, this has a lot of fun built into it. The introduction has some bluegrass jamming, but the tune is more old-school pop meets country and rock and roll. There is classy piano work on the tune. The guitar solo is classic, too. |
|
T. Texas Tyler - Hot Rod Rag
Rockabilly drag strip sounds are on the menu here. This is a fun and energetic number. |
|
Tabby West - Chat Chat Chattanooga
Country music with some real roots rock in the mix, this is a fun tune. I dig the fact that it also has some jazzy chords at points. |
|
Lonnie Glosson - Pan American Boogie
Blues harp brings this into being. The cut has a boogie country and rock and roll motif. It's very down-home in nature. It's not my favorite, but it is classy. |
|
Tex Williams - Big Bear Boogie
This is sort of a jazz meets country number. It's energetic and fun. It's definitely dated listening to it today. |
|
Autry Inman - Happy Go Lucky
Down=home country with a playful nature is the idea here. This is bouncy and has some solid fiddle and pedal steel soloing. |
|
Grandpa Jones - 8 More Miles To Louisville
There is a lot of energy and groove to this. It seems to merge folk music and bluegrass. I really like this number. |
|
Roy Duke - I Mean, I Mean
Old school rockabilly is on the menu here. The lyrics to this are pretty mean. I guess you get that from the title, right? |
|
Hank Penny - Bloodshot Eyes
Old-school country music is on the menu here. This is a bouncy, shuffling kind of piece. |
|
Tabby West - Texas Millionaire
There is great guitar work, piano soloing and tasty fiddle playing on the number. It's a catchy tune with plenty of old-school country at its core. |
|
Hardrock Gunter - Hesitation Boogie
Rockabilly is on the menu here. This is catchy and has a great groove to it. It's one of the highlights of the set. |
|
Texas Bill Strength - Paper Boy Boogie
Old school country merged with rock and roll, this another fun number. It has some tasty hooks. |
|
Gene Stewart - Empty Seat In The Bar Room Booth
Bouncing rockabilly makes up the concept here. The tune works well with its fun groove. |
|
Rusty Keefer - I'm Just Here To Get My Baby Out Of Jail
Old-school country music makes up the sound of this tune. This has a real hillbilly charm to it. The expressive guitar solo is classy. |
|
Lonnie Glosson - Steel Guitar Rag
This instrumental number seems to have quite a bit of Zydeco built into it along with bluegrass and more. |
|
Jimmie Davis - Cherokee Boogie (Eh-Oh-Aleena)
A bouncy groove is on the menu here. This is an entertaining piece. |
|
Tommy Sosebee - All Night Boogie
A fun rockabilly tune, this is another classy one. |
|
Kenny Roberts - I'm Looking For The Bully Of The Town
Old school country music is on the menu here. I dig the guitar work on this quite a bit. |
|
Hardrock Gunter - Honky Tonk Baby
As you might expect, this has some honk-tonk piano in the mix. This is a bouncy number that works pretty well. It's not as strong as the previous cut from this act, though. |
|
Chuck Murphy - Blue Ribbon Boogie
Another with some killer boogie woogie piano at play, this is a powerhouse number. That piano really makes the cut in a lot of ways. |
|
Hank Garland - Guitar Shuffle
I love this tune. It has a fun suitably shuffling groove to it. This is one of my favorites of the disc. |
|
Tabby West - Inchin' Up
While this country number is fun, it's not as effective as the previous tune from this artist. |
|
Grady Martin - Long John Boogie
With a lot of jazz in the mix, this is a fun romp. In fact, I'd consider this to be one of the highlights of the set. |
|
Tommy Sosebee - The Barber Shop Boogie
Rockabilly with some catchy hooks, this is another entertaining tune. |
|
Hardrock Gunter - You Played On my Piano
The fiddle work on this number steals the show. The cut is fun. |
|
Jimmy Atkins & His Pinetoppers - Juke Joint Johnny
Old-time rock and roll based, this is another with a lot of energy and a classy groove. |
|
Tabby West - Pretty Little Dedon
This has a lot of energy. It's not my kind of thing, though. It does have its charms, nonetheless. |
|
Arlie Duff - Courtin' In The Rain
Down-home bluegrass is the order of business here. A lot of the vocals on this are spoken. This is very much an old-time based number. |
|
Wayne Raney - 40th And Plum
This old time tune is another that isn't really my kind of thing, but still works pretty well. |
|
Roberta Lee & Hardrock Gunter - Sixty Minute Man
This is a fun duet styled piece. It has a boogie jam. The lyrics are surprisingly risqué for the time. |
