Rockabilly from the vaults of Decca records,
By
This review is from: That'll flat git it! Vol.2 - Decca rockabillies (Audio CD)
This compilation is up to the usual excellent quality of bear family stuff. To get most of these tracks on 45's would be a mission. It feels almost like a cheat to buy one CD with so much essential Rockabilly on it. Look at the track listing and see for yourself, theres also a 28 page booklet which is well stacked with photo's etc. Buy It, you know it makes sense.

Superb!!!,

This review is from: That'll flat git it! Vol.2 - Decca rockabillies (Audio CD)
I'd already had most of these tracks on 2 old Vinyl LP's back in the 70's, the MCA rockabilly collection vols 1 & 2. Thank you bear family for re-packaging most of them on this superb CD(the others are on the other US decca CD.
Where do I begin? as there are so many gems on here. The Don Woody tracks are sublime, and it includes IMO perhaps the greatest rockabilly song of all time Peanuts Wilson - Cast Iron Arm. Buy it and hear some of the greatest American roots dance music of all time, music FOR the people BY the people.

Essential for any fan of Rockabilly.....,
By Matthew F. Strickland - Published on Amazon.com
This review is from: That'll Flat Git It 2 (Audio CD)
Drop this platter in the disc player and you're sure to wear out your boppin shoes. This CD features one of Rockabilly's wildest ever, Johnny Carroll. What can I say about Johnny? Frantic, nervous, surely kept the girls on the edge of their seats (if not tearin his threads off). The CD also contains a whole slew of other Decca gems re-issued in all their original glory. The lyrics are typical rockabilly fare. In other words if you are looking for meaningful social commentary, you're in the wrong bloody place. Don Woody? "Barking up the Wrong Tree" and "Bird Dog" are a couple of the best boppers around! ARF ARF!!!! Matt "DJ Mattfink" Strickland 4 of 4 people found the following review helpful:

Rare original rockabilly sides,
By hyperbolium - Published on Amazon.com
This review is from: That'll Flat Git It 2 (Audio CD)
Given the meteoric rise and short original lifespan of Rockabilly, one might be tempted to consider it a passing fancy. But given the deep roots it shared in both hillbilly and rhythm 'n' blues, and the lasting impact it would have on rock 'n' roll, the explosion of sound in the mid-to-late-50s is seen to be a whole more than an industry-fueled fad. Bear Family's seemingly endless "That's Flat... Git It" series chronicles the scads of lesser known artists and rare sides that were the ice berg of music holding up the tip that appeared on the charts via Elvis, Carl Perkins and others.Volume 2 focuses on sides waxed for Decca in the U.S. The label's country A&R chief, Paul Cohen, ran both country roster artists and new finds through a single or two, cutting them loose if they didn't hit (and losing Buddy Holly in the process!). Most of the sessions were arranged and produced by legendary studio guitarist Grady Martin (whose acoustic lead was famously featured on Marty Robbins' "El Paso"), and recorded in Owen Bradley's studio, with Bradley often playing piano. Bear Family selected thirty tracks (all in glorious mono) previously anthologized on a four-volume UK anthology, and added Bill Millar's exquisitely detailed notes and discographical information. The highlights are numerous, including Don Woody's hiccuping (and barking) "You're Barking Up the Wrong Tree" (how could the Cramps not have covered this?!), and Autry Inman's jivey "Be Bop Baby" (not to be confused with Ricky Nelson's like-named song). Jimmy & Johnny's "Sweet Love On My Mind" paved the way for latter-day revivalists like Dave & Deke, and The Five Chavis Brothers "Baby, Don't Leave Me" seem to presage the Kingsmen and other 1960s Northwest powerhouses. Throughout, the guitars ring with the authority and bravado that moved Rockabilly past its roots. The comfort with which both fingerpicking and electric flatpicking fit the genre is an indication of its two musical roots. Though not the wildest side on this set, country legend Webb Pierce's "Teenage Boogie" shows how short a leap it was from hard-driving country-boogie to rockabilly. Roy Hall's tracks are reminiscent of Bill Haley & The Comets, including a looser R&B-influenced cover of "See You Later Alligator," and an early version of "Whole Lotta Shakin' Goin' On" that takes it down-low, rather than barn-burning. Child prodigy guitarist Jerry Kennedy, who'd go on to a successful career as a record industry executive, shows himself to be a fine rockabilly vocalist on "Teenage Love is Misery," and Roy Orbison's original rhythm guitarist, Peanuts Wilson, cut the truly peculiar "Cast Iron Arm," penned by Orbison and producer Norman Petty. Those looking for an introduction to rockabilly might want to start with the hits (that is, not this series of compilations), but anyone looking to explore the breadth and depth of the sound will find this a terrific anthology. 3 of 3 people found the following review helpful:

killer stuff,
By A Customer - Published on Amazon.com
This review is from: That'll Flat Git It 2 (Audio CD)
You can't really go wrong with any of the collections in this series. But Vol. 2 stands out. It's just killer track after killer track. Perhaps we can thank Grady Martin for it. He was the bandleader and lead guitarist on most of these sessions, which were recorded for Decca during the brief period when all the record labels were trying to cash in on the rockabilly craze.
