"As Good As It Gets" - Rockabilly - disc 2

This is a perfect introductory cd, for the novice rockabilly collector, all the big names are here, and most of their essential performances are present. Also those who already have a large collection of rockabilly should pick this cd up, just to have all these great songs handy on a convenient 2 cd set, heck I've got one set in my house and one in my 55 Chevy coupe. I listen to these all the time, even though I have hundreds of other r-billy cd's, this is affordable and essential. (The Rockabilly Digest)
If you already own "LOUD, FAST, AND OUT OF CONTROL" and "ROCKIN' BONES", the two essential and amazing box sets from Rhino, you still need this. There is some duplication of tracks (Especially obvious stuff by Carl Perkins, Elvis,Roy Orbison,etc.), but this excellent collection has 64 tracks and you don't own about 40 of them! There are top notch songs here that Rhino should be kicking themselves for leaving off their boxes. Out of control rockers like "Red-headed Mama" and "Sixteen Chicks"! Jewels like "Where the Rio de Rosa Flows" and "Okie's in the Pokie" and Janis Martin's "Drugstore Rock n Roll"! If you've been trying to track down Mickey Hawk's explosive "Bip Bop Boom", it's right here and worth the price of the CD. All the songs have cool guitar breaks, get this. (Amazon)
