Various Artists • MGM Rockabilly 2CD While labels such as Sun and Chess often steal the spotlight, MGM quietly built an impressive catalogue of Rockabilly, Country and Rock 'n' Roll recordings during the 1950s. MGM Rockabilly gathers together sixty-one of the label's finest rockin' sides, offering a fascinating snapshot of the artists who helped shape the golden age of Rockabilly. The collection features major names including Marvin Rainwater, Conway Twitty, Don Gibson, Connie Francis, Hank Williams and Bill Flagg, alongside cult favourites such as Andy Starr, Ron Hargrave, Buck Griffin, Bernie Early, Cecil Campbell and Sheb Wooley. From pounding Rockabilly and Country Bop to Rock 'n' Roll and Hillbilly Boogie, every disc is packed with authentic recordings from one of America's great record labels. Whether you're discovering these artists for the first time or filling gaps in your collection, MGM Rockabilly is an outstanding anthology that goes far beyond the obvious hits.
