I like many styles of music, but if it's got good guitar playing of any ilk I'm there. If an album on a List comes up Unavailable it has probably switched distributors, and looking up the album title in Search will get you the current page. Drag!
"Essential Carl Perkins original hits here, it don't get better, he is the man- and if you love rockabilly, R&R, blues or even country just check out anything from Sun Records." less
"A compilation of tracks from the early albums, there are both studio and live tracks, that do justice to the Commander and crew, including Bill Kirchen on the guitar. Top shelf stuff." less
"OK, here are some of my favorite Dash Rip Rock songs, Bum****Egypt, Jambalaya, Rich Little Bitch, Johnny Ace and of course the very PC classic - Pussywhipped. Pure class." less
"Saw these characters open for someone once at the Lone Star Roadhouse and I was hooked, and they are definitely off the hook! Crazy, man, crazy!" less
"I had Gene Vincent on this list but the album must have gone off eMusic, but this is an even hotter collection of ORIGINAL tracks. Essential for any rockabilly/rock'n'roll lover. It does not get better." less
"It doesn't get any more lo-fi than this. He is so ginchy that I'm not even sure I can stand it sometimes. You'll dig it or hate it. A one of a kind." less
"The Godfather of Grit, the Odin of Overdrive, Link Wray was a trailblazer for rock guitar tones. Pick your faves from the various albums on eMusic." less
"Good live set with some unusual songs, My Babe, Heart Full of Soul, and nice mix of the usual suspects. Tracks 13&14 are unrelated studio tracks - slight caution." less
"The Austin, Texas Tailgators (not the English psychobillys of the same name) finally with an album here on eMusic - favorite song "Tico Tico" - seriously!" less
"Norton Records from Nu Yawk really gets lo-fi, there are all kinds of cool tracks on this collection for all tastes, or bad tastes in good taste." less
"If you like the 5.6.7.8's (included here) then you might want to go further in that direction. Cool sounds from cheap guitars did exist before that U.S. critic's darling duo" less
"Some funky hillbilly - add some bennies and corn liquor you get rockabilly. Seriously, though, great talent here, especially Bryant's Boogie by the amazing Jimmy Bryant and Speedy West, and Sugarfoot Rag by Hank Garland is a country gittar classic." less
"There are some strange but interesting tracks here. The Far East and Bollywood during the last several decades have been home to cheesy funky lo-fi guitar tones." less
"***THIS IS THE BEST of the R&R compilations here - in terms of number and quality of original material. Just avoid Be Bop A Lula - this track is screwy." less
"Alot of early or proto-R&R on Speciality Records. Check these out, or the 5 CD monster Specialty Story box set for more, including New Orleans goodies." less
"If you dig roots rock you must have at least half these tracks without question, and the rest won't hurt you none. Flying Saucers Rock&Roll is one of the greatest songs ever." less
"Webb Wilder defines roots-rock - there's a combination of R&R, country, blues in a high-speed blender. My favorite album of his, a bargain of goodness. Horror Hayride!" less
"If you needed to know why Link is better known as a guitar player than vocalist, here 'tis. I still like it though, and the man did lose a lung lobe after getting TB serving in the Army." less
"One of the best songs ever - Tiny Bradshaw's original, Johnny Burnette's rockabilly rave-up, this Yardbirds classic, Aerosmith or Motorhead, I love them all." less
"A classic song that was covered by country artists, rockabillies, and R&B artists, an example of the interweaving threads that birthed Rock and Roll." less
