That'll Flat Git It 49: Rockabilly & Rock / Var - That'll Flat Git It 49: Rockabilly & Rock / Var Music CD

When it comes to our 'That'll Flat Git It' series, the vaults of Columbia Records are the gift that just keeps on giving and giving and giving. The label's fourth installment in the series is loaded with familiar faces doing their best to rock your socks off, whether it's Carl Perkins blasting through Jive After Five and Pop, Let Me Have The Car, Johnny Horton admitting I Don't Like I Did, or The Collins Kids blazing as always on The Cuckoo Rock. Despite being the ultimate in established major labels, Columbia allowed its unparalleled roster of country luminaries to occasionally indulge their hodden rockabilly urges - witness storming sides here by Little Jimmy Dickens, Johnny Bond, Jimmy Murphy, and Rose Maddox. There are rarities on board too, by The Tunesmiths, Wally Hughes, David Frizzell, Jim Burgett, and Charlie Adams, while Ersel Hickey, Bill Craddock, and Ronnie Self look at the prospect of rock and roll from a more youthful perspective. Perhaps New York-based old school mainstay Columbia couldn't quite claim the cachet of Sun Records, but without question its rockabilly battalion hit every bit as hard!
