Product Description

CD Description

The original country rockers? Well, no, not in the Eagles sense. But when you hear these songs, recorded between 1946 and 1952, what you're hearing is either the template for rockabilly or the missing link between rockabilly and western swing--in other words, one of the earliest documented instances of white boys really getting down to the heart of hep. Unofficial Delmore Brother Wayne Raney's harmonica work on songs like "Trouble Ain't Nothin' But the Blues" owes very little to country, while a Delmore original like "Used Car Blues"points to Chuck Berry and the future. Revelatory stuff, andvery exciting.

5.0 out of 5 stars Essential listening, 12 Jun 2002
By stevemoore@qantas.com.au (Sydney, Australia) - See all my reviews
For far too long the Delmore Brothers were never accorded the recognition they deserved. Not quintessential hillbilly, blues or boogie, but an inimitable mixture of the three with superb close harmony added, this CD covers their recordings from 1946 to 1952. These seminal recordings work on 2 levels: if you're a student of contemporary music the first will show how much The Everly Brothers were influenced by the Delmore Brothers years later; later still "Rounder's Blues" lyrics were revised, the record retitled "Going Up County" and recorded by Canned Heat.
On the second level the tracks are simply superb listening - "Boogie Woogie Baby" and "Pan American Boogie" alone make the CD worth the money. A great purchase and yet another outstanding Ace CD.

5.0 out of 5 stars Fantastic Roots Music !, 20 Mar 2002
By P. D. Laffey (Hitchin) - See all my reviews
(REAL NAME)   
Definitely one of the best releases by Ace Records . If you like bluesy , boogie , rootsy country in its rawest form , this cd is a must . Great blues harp , great guitar picking and twenty tracks that are the equal to anything that you will find in American Roots music . An essential buy !
