Roy Hall delivers a magnificent collection of Rockabilly Boogie, Rock 'n' Roll and Western Swing on Diggin' That Rockabilly Boogie. Bringing together his essential Decca recordings with earlier sides originally issued on Hi-Q, Fortune, Straight-8 and Bullet, this collection provides a fascinating overview of Hall's distinctive contribution to the wild and swinging side of 1950s American music.
There's plenty of classic material here, including the essential Dig That Boogie, Offbeat Boogie and Whole Lotta Shakin' Goin' On, alongside Hall's versions of Rock 'n' Roll favourites such as See You Later Alligator, Blue Suede Shoes and Go Go Little Queenie. Tracks such as Three Alley Cats, Rockin' The Blues, Bed Spring Motel and One Monkey Don't Stop The Show further demonstrate his talent for combining rocking rhythms with a strong Western Swing influence.
From the boogie-driven opening tracks through to the closing Mule Boogie, Diggin' That Rockabilly Boogie is packed with the kind of infectious 1950s sounds that make Roy Hall's recordings so appealing to collectors. With material drawn from several stages of his recording career, this is an excellent collection of Rockabilly Boogie, Western Swing and early Rock 'n' Roll.
