Various Artists - Rock This Town: Rockabilly Hits, Vol. 1

Rock This Town: Rockabilly Hits, Vol. 1 is a stellar, 18-track collection that contains such classic rockabilly singles as Johnny Burnette's "The Train Kept a-Rollin," Bill Haley's "Rock the Joint," Roy Orbison's "Ooby Dooby," Carl Perkins' "Blue Suede Shoes," Billy Riley's "Red Hot," Dale Hawkins' "Susie-Q," Buddy Knox's "Party Doll," Gene Vincent's "Lotta Lovin'," Buddy Holly's "Oh Boy!," Jerry Lee Lewis' "High School Confidential," and Ritchie Valens' "Come On, Let's Go." Not only does it contain those hits, but there are terrific obscurities from Jimmy Lloyd, Nicky Nelson, Sonnee West, Janis Martin, and Sanford Clark, making Rock This Town and its companion volume a definitive collection for the average listener. ~ Stephen Thomas Erlewine, All Music Guide
