Royce Porter and Friends "Texas Teenage Bop"

A red hot collection of rockin’ Texas Rockabilly!Another terrific collection of regional rockabilly from El Toro - this time featuring Texas recordings spearheaded by singer/ guitarist Royce Porter who is featured on nine songs - a mix of Elvis inspired rockers and Roy Orbison inspired ballads. The rockers feature some of Royce's dynamic guitar work and he also plays guitar on sides by his good friend Ray Doggett. Royce and Ray first recorded for the Spade label run by the legendary Bennie Hess and quite a few of the other tracks here are from Hess labels. Other artists include Vern Pullens (three superb tracks including his sensational updating of an old song as Mama Don't Allow No Boppin'), Johnny McAdams, Bennie Hess (his great and frequently reissued Wild Hog Hop), Donald Simpson & The Rockenettes (a nice swamp pop feel on Woeoh Baby with some hot guitar into the bargain), Darrell Rhodes (four songs including the Bo Diddleyish I Thought About You), Meredith Neal and others. Superb sound and informative notes on many of the artists. (Frank Scott, Roots & Rhythm)trax:
