The unmistakable sound of rockabilly legend Charlie Feathers comes alive on Charlie Feathers Rocks!, a superb 31-track collection spanning recordings from the 1950s and '60s through to later material from one of the most individual voices in American Rock 'n' Roll.
Among the many highlights are rockabilly classics including Get With It, One Hand Loose, Tear It Up, Can't Hardly Stand It, Bottle To The Baby, Everybody's Lovin' My Baby and Blue Suede Shoes. Feathers had a style that was unmistakably his own, combining Country, Blues and Rock 'n' Roll with a strange, urgent rhythmic pulse that made his recordings sound unlike anyone else's.
Although Charlie Feathers enjoyed only a relatively short initial recording career during the 1950s, he created some of the most distinctive and enduring music of the original Rockabilly era. His work was subsequently rediscovered during the Rockabilly revival of the 1970s, and he continued recording and performing his own uncompromising style of Southern Rock 'n' Roll for decades.
From the wild attack of Jungle Fever and Stutterin' Cindy to the classic Get With It and the later Dig Myself A Hole, Charlie Feathers Rocks! shows just how unique his approach to Rockabilly really was. The accompanying booklet includes detailed liner notes and previously unpublished memories of life with Charlie, making this a particularly rewarding collection for fans and collectors.
