"ROCK*A*BILLY COWBOYS" CD 2

This glorious 10-CD box set contains 250 original Rockabilly recordings featuring Johnny Cash, Carl Phillips, Johnny Horton, Marty Robbins, Tennessee Ernie Ford, Hank Thompson, Faron Young, Bill Haley & The Saddlemen and many others. All the tracks were recorded between 1947 and 1960 but with the vast majority coming from the 1950's.O yeah – sure the Country and Western stars could rock!!! If the cowboys were a bit more reserved than the  “real” rockers, listening to this compilation will still get you warmed up. The C&W music of the early 1950s deeply influenced Rock ’n’ Roll (and the Rockabilly scene as well). But from the mid-1950s C&W singers were admittedly kept moving more by the Rock and Rollers.

Great 22 song CD that covers all the rare bonus tracks that were issued on the expanded versions of their albums. It's good to have these hard to find songs in one collection.

Good to hear you enjoyed NYC, Iggy!

Thanks, G. The new 911 Memorial is worth all the visits you can spare to the great Big Apple. When you add getting within kissing distance of the original "Starry Night" at MoMA, the whole experience is just simply mind-boggling. Great weekend to you!

Oh, iggy there are so many wonderful pieces at the MOMA (and other museums around NYC) it's easy to get jaded - but every time I see "Starry Night" with those little bits of brush bristle embedded in the paint, my head reels, still. Glad to hear you enjoyed our fair city.

And thank you Gyro & Ryp for your continuing generosity.

Hi Anon. You're so right. Even with the big crowd around it, I finally got a super closeup of the moon in "Starry Night" - my favorite moon image of them all. I really appreciate your kind response, and don't worry, I will never, ever be jaded about New York.

All of my good wishes to you and The City.

Iggy
