THE BEST OF ROCKABILLY-14 RAW AND RARE ROCKABILLY TRACKS

Description

Legendary International DJ Keb Darge first fell in love with the music when his Japanese girlfriend forced him to attend a "Rockabilly" party back in 1989. As soon as the DJ dropped the needle on Johnny Burnette's "Rockabilly Boogie," Keb was hypnotized. He soon began hunting for the most obscurely rare tracks, slipping thousands of Euros into the back pockets 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 all over the world. Though it took some convincing, Keb has now applied his perfectionist compilation skills to select 14 killer tracks to adorn this fantastic collection. Ranging from Glen Glenn's "Blue Jeans and A Boy's Shirt" to Jimmy Johnson's almost hillbilly bouffant "All Dressed Up," this is a must-have compilation not only for those who have been oiling their quiffs for decades but also for those wondering what this "rockabilly" thing is all about. Keb throws you into the deep end without any easy filler, and you'll be glad he did. Keb has written the liner notes, and with the sleeve by the legendary Robin Banks, this album looks as good as it sounds.
