Capitol Rockabilly Volume 2 CD

When Rockabilly is mentioned, labels such as Sun Records usually steal the spotlight. Yet Capitol Records quietly assembled an impressive catalogue of its own, recording established Country artists, future stars and exciting newcomers as Rock 'n' Roll swept across America. Capitol Rockabilly Volume 2 brings together thirty original recordings that reveal just how deep those vaults really are.

The collection features an exceptional line-up including Gene Vincent, Wanda Jackson, Jack Scott, Tommy Sands, Jerry Reed, Faron Young, Sonny James, Ferlin Husky and Tennessee Ernie Ford, alongside lesser-known artists whose recordings deserve to be heard again. From Gene Vincent's Race With The Devil to Wanda Jackson's Rock Your Baby, Werly Fairburn's Good Deal Lucille and Merrill Moore's Doggie House Boogie, the album captures every shade of 1950s Rockabilly.

One of the pleasures of label compilations is hearing the musical personality of the record company itself. Capitol wasn't chasing a single Rockabilly formula. It gave Country singers, Rock 'n' Roll newcomers and seasoned performers room to develop their own sound, which makes this collection feel wonderfully varied while still holding together as a snapshot of one remarkable label.

Beautifully presented on CD, Capitol Rockabilly Volume 2 is an essential addition for collectors of Rockabilly, Rock 'n' Roll and classic Country, celebrating one of America's most important record labels during the birth of a musical revolution.
