Search - Various Artists :: Hillbilly Bop, Boogie & The Honky Tonk Blues Vol. 4 [ORIGINAL RECORDINGS REMASTERED]

2010 two CD collection, the fourth installment in this popular series. This volume of the Hillbilly Bop, Boogie & The Honky Tonk Blues features a first rate selection of tough foot tappin' tunes juxtaposed with timeless Country gems. The late `50s was a tough time for Country music which struggled to find its voice amongst the youth driven onslaught of Rock 'n' Roll. Many of the tracks on this set reflect this change, as the Country singers and bands tried to appeal to this new audience by adding a harder edge to their music and lyrics. These were exciting times with the old order desperately clinging to the traditional ways, whilst the newcomers were challenging and ever pushing the boundaries between Country and Rock. Jasmine.
