Gonna Shake This Shack Tonight - Play It Cool Man CD

Tibby Edwards • Play It Cool Man CD

One of the unsung heroes of early Rock 'n' Roll, Tibby Edwards was a regular star of the legendary Louisiana Hayride, where he appeared alongside Elvis Presley during the formative years of Rockabilly. Although he never achieved the same worldwide fame, his powerful recordings have long been recognised by collectors as genuine Rockabilly classics.

Play It Cool Man is the definitive Tibby Edwards collection, bringing together all thirty-four of his recordings. Highlights include the rockin' title track Play It Cool Man, Play It Cool, Flip Flop And Fly, Shift Gears, Long Time Gone and the Cajun-flavoured Big Mamou, alongside Country, Rockabilly and Rock 'n' Roll performances that perfectly capture the excitement of the late 1950s.

Essential listening for anyone interested in the roots of Rock 'n' Roll, Play It Cool Man is a fascinating collection from an artist whose contribution to the genre deserves far wider recognition.
