Various Artists • Rock That Boogie CD

Get your feet moving with Rock That Boogie, a 30-track celebration of the irresistible rhythms of boogie-woogie, jump blues, country boogie and early rock ’n’ roll. From rolling piano grooves to twanging guitars and driving double bass, this collection explores the sound that helped fuel the dance floors of the 1940s and 1950s, bringing together established stars and lesser-known names from across the roots-music spectrum.

The line-up stretches from Clarence “Pine Top” Smith’s historic “Pine Top’s Boogie Woogie” to Sonny Burgess’ “We Wanna Boogie”, Jimmy Liggins’ “Cadillac Boogie”, Amos Milburn’s “Chicken-Shack Boogie” and Bill Haley & His Comets’ “Birth of the Boogie”. There’s also the piano-pounding excitement of Jerry Lee Lewis’ “Lewis Boogie”, the country flavour of Tennessee Ernie Ford’s “Smoky Mountain Boogie” and the celebrated guitar instrumental “Guitar Boogie” by Arthur “Guitar Boogie” Smith.

Whether you love vintage rhythm and blues, honky-tonk country, jump blues or the wild early days of rock ’n’ roll, these 30 upbeat cuts deliver a generous helping of toe-tapping, hip-shaking roots music. Rock That Boogie is a lively introduction to the many ways musicians turned the boogie rhythm into dance music, from blues-club piano burners to country guitar workouts and rock ’n’ roll classics.
