This new EP is a reissue of sorts of a record from 1956. That one, though, only included six songs. Four more (from the same year) have been added to this. The record is released on blue vinyl and has a collectible post card with it. The music is fun, and leans on a rock and roll side, which seems a bit different than the type of country normally associated with Marty Robbins. All in all, this is a classy release.

This old school rock and roller gets an energetic rendition here. It's a fun tune with a lot of style. I really dig the guitar solo on the piece.

The "dialog" part of this cut includes a high-pitched response bit. The tune has more of a stripped back rockabilly sound to it. There is a whistling solo on this tune.

A classic Chuck Berry tune, this gets a solid version here. This is rocking with style and has some cool guitar work.

Here's a song best known coming from Elvis Presley. There is a bit of a bluegrass approach on this tune. It's fun, but not a highlight of the set.

More the kind of pop country type of sound that Robbins was better known for doing, this song works pretty well. It just doesn't seem to fit that well with some of the more rocking stuff to me.    

While this is very much back in the rock and rolling zone, the tune has some hints of country and even some jazz elements. I love the walking bass on this.

An energetic rock and roll turned country sound drives this tune. It's a lot of fun and definitely a step back up from the previous cut.
