VA - Country Goes Rock 'N' Roll, Vol. 2: The New Breed (2006/2020)

And you possibly thought that Country Rock started with Sweetheart Of The Rodeo and Safe At Home maybe? What about ROCKABILLY bub? Or Country Boogie? But even that is the tip of the iceberg! By the early 1950s, country boogie and rockin' jazzing stuff of all types simmered in the hills... and here the NEW BREED of 1950s country/hillbilly artistes take it all into the modern day. Stars such as Wanda Jackson, Johnny Burnette, and good gosh almighty ELVIS himself, explode along with a raft of wild-youth country contenders and cult figures. Some of the earliest outings of the legendary Ray Campi join hit sides a go-go as once more - Country goes RocknRoll! Volume one was a featured pic forever on Mark Lamarr's vital radio show; watch this one surpass it!! A must for all fans of country, RocknRoll, country boogie, western swing, Rockabilly and gawd knows what else! The day before they got their Cat Clothes on...it was already booting off!!
