Best Of Buzz Campbell & Hot Rod Lincoln CD

Buzz Campbell & Hot Rod Lincoln - The Best Of CD

A fantastic 19-track collection of the best recordings from American Rockabilly trio Hot Rod Lincoln, led by rockin' guitar ace Buzz Campbell. Bringing together the hottest cuts from their early out-of-print albums alongside favourites from their more recent releases, The Best Of showcases Campbell's accomplished guitar playing and the band's lively, uptempo Rockabilly sound.

Campbell's twanging guitar is backed by the solid rhythm section of Tim Butler on upright bass and Ty Cox on drums, creating a lean and energetic sound across tracks such as “Red Lipstick”, “Buzz's Bop”, “Kiss Me Twice”, “Five Bucks And A Pack Of Cigarettes”, “Turn The Jukebox Up” and “Too Drunk To Drive”. Almost all of the songs were written by Campbell, with “Pretty Picture” co-written with Nelson and “Blue Cafe” penned by Brian Setzer of the Stray Cats.

The Stray Cats connection goes even further, with Campbell later recruited by Lee Rocker to play guitar in his touring and recording band. From the raw Rockabilly attack of “Cradle Bobber” and “Cattin' Around” to the atmospheric “Blue Cafe” and the driving “Invasion From Mars”, The Best Of Buzz Campbell & Hot Rod Lincoln is a superb introduction to one of the standout American Rockabilly guitarists of the era.
