Album Kindly Submitted by El Toro Records
Style : Rockabilly
Rate (1-5) :
There is no doubt about it! Rollin’ Rock the seventies label from the US is not only full of obscure are rare artists, but it is also solely handed responsibility for the re-appreciation of Rockabilly music back in the seventies in the US.
When Carlos from El Toro Records was making a compilation with original Lone Star Bop tunes from the fifties he came to the conclusion that all the artists he wanted to put on this compilation had recorded back in the seventies for one particular guy called “Rockin” Ronny Weiser, the owner of Rollin’ Rock Records. Also he noted that most of these artist would have been completely forgotten if Rollin’ Rock would never have tracked them down to record again! So by calling’ this album “The roots of Rollin’ Rock” he surely pays tribute to this odd but classic label! But he also shares with us why Rockin Ronny became so passionate with Rockabilly.
(Re-)Discover those old Mac Curtis, Ray Campi or Johnny Caroll tunes original cut for Decca, Columbia, King and other labels! Good old classic Rockabilly music from the mid fifties on are here on show! The hottest artist on the US side of the Rio Grande are on display showing what rockabilly should sound like! Thirty Three tracks like “Catapillar”, “Corina Corina”, ”Swing Bop Boogie”, “Goosebumps” and assorted titles give you the best time possible both on the dance floor or while driving those long freeways back home after a midnight gig!
