That'll Flat Git It Volume 48 (Starday Records) CD
Rockabilly and Rock 'n' Roll from the vaults of Starday Records. Pappy Daily, Jack Starnes and Don Pierce initially intended their Starday label to be a purely country music endeavor, but as time went on and rockabilly exploded during the mid-‘190s, Texas-based Starday embraced the exciting new music just as fervently. This CD is chock-full of savage rockers. A sizable amount of the company’s release slate was cut in Houston at Gold Star Recording with a house band usually featuring Hal Harris on lead guitar, but by no means all. Some of these singers are legendary: Sonny Fisher, George Jones (as Thumper Jones), Rudy ‘Tutti‘ Grayzell, Leon Payne (under his own name as well as that of Rock Rogers), Frankie Miller, the imposing Sleepy LaBeff (as he spelled it then). An equal percentage are primarily known to rockabilly aficionados only - Rocky Bill Ford, Truitt Forse, Utah Carl, Ray and Lindy, Rocking Martin, Cliff Blakley, Fred Crawford, Rudy Gaddis, Fuzzy Whitener, Jack Kingston. Some of these obscure performances were culled from the archives of the Starday Custom Series, which allowed aspiring rockers marooned in the hinterlands to pay a nominal sum for 300 copies of their creations.
