"The Texas Box" - 1950s & 1960s Oddball Labels - CD 8 of 10

10-CD + 208 page hardcover book - A box of essential Texas singles - rockabilly, garage rockers and instrumentals from local and independent labels. Including a massive book with rare pictures and track-by-track notes. 330 tracks.

A tremendous accomplishment to create this box set and get all 330 songs together. These are quite rare and would cost a fortune to buy individually. The package is excellent and the accompanying book is full of pictures and info about the songs, artists and labels. 330 songs in excellent sound quality. The music is guitar driven, rockin stuff some with a country perspective and even a few instrumentals (not many). If you are familiar with the regional Texas 50's rock scene and enjoy the music, this is an essential purchase. If you enjoy rockin 50's sounds and want something you probably haven't heard, this is recommended!  A labor of love for sure.(Crawdaddy)
