EU compilation of early Rockabilly/Hillbilly recordings from the musician and actor. It was a long, eventful career for Sheb Wooley. Alongside his other achievements, he made the first-ever indie label recordings in Nashville (one of them, 'Oklahoma Honky Tonk Girl' is here) and was on MGM Records from the year after it's inception until the year it finished. Along the way, he scored hits in the 1940s, '50s, '60s, and '70s. This 30 track collection focuses heavily on his romping, stomping up-tempo songs... mostly recorded in the 1940s and '50s. Using the cream of West Coast session musicians like Speedy West and Jimmy Bryant, Wooley laid down some shack shakin' Country boogies.
