Hayden Thompson Rock-A-Billy Gal - The Sun Years CD
Hayden Thompson is one of the last of the surviving original rockers, and he's still a mighty impressive performer on the Rockabilly circuit. He was there at the epicentre of Rockabilly back when nobody knew quite what it was or what to call it. His 1956 recording of Love My Baby is acknowledged as classic Rockabilly. This collection covers Hayden Thompson's first decade of recording. Here are both sides of all the singles issued between 1954 and 1962 - all of them fabulously rare, along with most of the songs which remained unissued at the time, plus eight previously unreleased versions of the much-admired and much-emulated classic rockabilly sides Hayden cut at Sun Studios in 1956 and '57.
