VA • The Rarest Rockabilly Album In The World Ever!

 

Review
by Steve Leggett  
Essentially country music welded to jump blues, rockabilly was rock & roll’s first clear shot at the world in the late '50s, and for every huge star like Elvis Presley who passed through the genre and took it onto the charts, there were hundreds -- if not thousands -- of singles by likeminded artists released in the rockabilly era that vanished without much impact or became, at best, only regional successes. This two-disc, 50-track set collects some of these rare releases, and includes sides by footnote musicians like Al Epp, Jimmy Patton, Jimmie John, Jimmy Lloyd, Benny Joy, Benny Ingram, and many others with similar fame pedigrees. There’s a whole lot of singing about rocking and bopping and hopping -- rockabilly was always about moving one’s feet (if not everything else, too) -- but there are a few tracks that stretch things just a bit, like Max Alexander and Hank Harral's “Little Rome” from 1957, which tosses in some honking and jiving saxophone, and Jimmie John's “Solid Rock,” which contains a furious banjo breakdown. There are no household names here, and at 50 tracks this is probably way too much for the casual fan to bear, but true fans of the rockabilly genre will find this set a godsend of rare treasures.

Reseña
por Steve Leggett  
Esencialmente la música country soldada al jump blues, el rockabilly fue la primera oportunidad clara del rock & roll en el mundo a finales de los años 50, y por cada gran estrella como Elvis Presley que pasó por el género y lo llevó a las listas de éxitos, hubo cientos - si no miles - de singles de artistas afines lanzados en la era del rockabilly que desaparecieron sin mucho impacto o se convirtieron, en el mejor de los casos, sólo en éxitos regionales. Este conjunto de dos discos y 50 pistas recoge algunos de estos raros lanzamientos, e incluye lados de músicos de pie de página como Al Epp, Jimmy Patton, Jimmie John, Jimmy Lloyd, Benny Joy, Benny Ingram, y muchos otros con pedigríes de fama similares. Hay un montón de canciones sobre el rock, el bopping y el hop - el rockabilly siempre fue sobre el movimiento de los pies (si no todo lo demás, también) - pero hay algunas pistas que extienden las cosas un poco, como "Little Rome" de Max Alexander y Hank Harral de 1957, que lanza en algunos bocinazos y saxofón jiving, y "Solid Rock" de Jimmie John, que contiene una ruptura de banjo furioso. No hay nombres conocidos aquí, y con 50 temas es probablemente demasiado para el aficionado ocasional, pero los verdaderos fans del género rockabilly encontrarán en este conjunto un regalo de tesoros raros.
