Hillbilly Bop Boogie & the Honky Tonk Blues - Hillbilly Bop Boogie 6/ Various (CD)

Details: Whilst the Beatles were taking their first tentative steps in show business, playing Rock & Roll in Hamburg Clubs, across the Atlantic in the USA, country artists like the Van Brothers, Bob Perry and Jack Reno were playing a mixture of good ole country music and Rock & Roll delivered with a Country feel. The artists on this compilation would have played local clubs and dances, country standards for the old folks and up-tempo offerings for the teenagers. This seemingly contradictory combination of musical styles was reflected in the records that these artists recorded. Bob Perry for example recorded some solid down home country boppers, check out "Weary Blues Goodbye", he also tried his hand at a spot of teen Rock & Roll. With an impressive five volumes preceding this one, Jasmine's sixth edition this time covering the years of 1960 and 1961 certainly has the market cornered for good old fashioned down home, rootin' tootin' music from the good ole boys that didn't just play it but lived it!
