THE BEST OF ROCKABILLY-14 RAW AND RARE ROCKABILLY TRACKS

Description

Legendary international DJ Keb Darge fell in love with this music when his Japanese girlfriend forced him to attend a “Rockabilly” night in 1989. As soon as the DJ dropped the needle on Johnny Burnette’s “Rockabilly Boogie,” Keb was hypnotized. He soon began searching for the best horribly rare tracks and slipped thousands of euros into the back pocket of specialist collectors like Boz Boorer, when the legendary guitarist wasn’t recording or touring with Morrissey. Of course, Keb then took these records and introduced them to new audiences in his DJ sets around the world. Although it took time to convince him, Keb has now applied his perfectionist compilation skills to select 14 killers to enhance this fantastic collection. Ranging from Glen Glenn’s “Blue Jeans and A Boy’s Shirt” to the bouffant, almost hillbilly “All Dressed Up” by Jimmy Johnson. This is an essential compilation not only for those who have been slicking back their quiffs for decades, but also for those wondering what this “rockabilly” is all about. Keb throws you in at the deep end without any easy filler, and you’ll be glad he did. Keb wrote the liner notes and with the sleeve by the legendary Robin Banks - this album looks as good as it sounds.
