A bona-fidé Country Music legend, Eddie Noack was a hard-livin', old school Honky-Tonk singer, songwriter and performer, who stuck to his traditional musical guns in the face of a constantly changing late 1950s Country music scene. As a result he didn't achieve the commercial success he perhaps deserved, although his recorded legacy is held in the highest esteem. Ironically, over the years, cuts like Hungry But Happy, Too Hot To Handle, Take It Away Lucky, The Worm Has Turned, Scarecrow and Shotgun House have become much sought-after collectors' items. This 64 track double CD collection presents his singles released between 1949 and 1962, across seven different record labels, Gold Star, 4-Star, TNT, Starday, 'D', Mercury and Allstar Records. Includes his biggest hit, Have Blues Will Travel, as well as his infamous rockabilly 45 Can't Play Hookey which was issued under the pseudonym Tommy Wood in 1958.
