Original Early Rockers - Georgia Music LP (Vinyl)
Long before Nashville became synonymous with Southern music, Georgia was producing a remarkable variety of Rock 'n' Roll, Rockabilly, Country and Bluegrass recordings. Georgia Music celebrates that rich musical heritage, bringing together sixteen recordings by artists whose names may be unfamiliar today but whose performances capture the energy and creativity of the American South during the 1950s and early 1960s.
At the heart of the collection are several outstanding performances by Jimmy Moore & The Play Toys, including Playtoy, Easter Rockin' Bunny and Dive That Jive-O, alongside recordings by Bluegrass Ervin, Mike Cushman, Barry Etris, Pat Kelley and The Cubs. Rock 'n' Roll, Rockabilly, Country and Bluegrass sit comfortably side by side, reflecting the musical melting pot that defined Georgia's local recording scene.
The real appeal of Georgia Music lies in its authenticity. These aren't polished national stars following trends, but local musicians creating the soundtrack to dances, radio shows and Saturday nights across the American South. That gives the album a warmth and honesty that's difficult to recreate, making every track feel like another fascinating discovery.
Beautifully presented on vinyl, Georgia Music is an excellent addition for collectors of Rock 'n' Roll, Rockabilly, Country and Southern roots music, uncovering a fascinating chapter in America's rich recording history.
