That'll Flat Git It Volume 47 (Starday Records) CD

When Starday Records debuted in June of 1953 in Beaumont, Texas, owners Jack Starns Jr. and Harold 'Pappy' Daily intended it to be purely a country label.
Don Pierce came in as a co-owner a few months later, and the label did well right out of the gate.
Once Starns left and rockabilly came on strong during the mid-1950s, Starday attracted plenty of talent in that field too.
This volume of Starday Records rockabilly offers 33 classic sides, some by the label's best-known rockers such as Sonny Fisher, Link Davis, Sleepy LaBeef, Rudy Grayzell and George Jones among them.
Starday often utilized the house band at Houston's Gold Star Recording for its rockabilly output, Hal Harris a mainstay on lead guitar.
The most obscure inclusions on the collection hail from Starday's Custom Series, where unknown artists out in the hinterlands could send in their homemade tapes and for a fee receive 300 copies of their artistry on vinyl.
That's how some of this disc's hottest and rarest rockers came over the transom, including gems by Buddy Shaw, Larry Nolen, Hal Payne, Arnold Parker and The Southernairs, and Lou Walker.
This is undiluted Lone Star rockabilly at its hottest!
