 Rating: - Must have cdThis cd is one of my top 10 most played cd's in my collection, so by it and enjoy it Rating: - Excellent Classic RockabillyThis is big label rockabilly at it's finest. This disc explodes from the start with a very young Larry Collins (The Collins Kids)ripping some awesome guitar riffs with an amazing level of energy. Ronnie Self's 'Bop-A-Lena' cut is up there too. Werley Fairburn's(a more obscure artist)'Everybody's Rockin' is hypnotic and you'll be humming this song all day long. The track that get me the most is 'Hoy Hoy' from The Collins Kids - it just swings. This is great rockabilly/western swing collection from ...

The differences might be subtle, but there are differences. So in someone like Werly Fairburn, who I must admit, I had never heard of before this, to call his music rockabilly when he sounds more like Ernest Tubb than Gene Vincent is to totally misuse a label.

I realize most of the folks on here were pioneers in Rockabilly, but I think these were bad song choices to put on this CD. Rating:  - Rock-A-Billy ReviewThe song selections on this cd are not as strong as the "Ain't I'm a Dog" disc, but still well worth the money. If nothing else Johnny Horton's Honky Tonk Hardwood Floor and the Coop cover art are worth the price of the cd. Rock-A-Billy fans will enjoy most all of the tracks.
