Charlie Feathers/Mac Curtis, Rockabilly Kings (Ace)


Push back the furniture. This is what the cool cats and boppin’ chicks have demanded for 50 years. All of Charlie Feathers and Mac Curtis’ mid-1950s savage King label rockabilly sides in one place. And all in brilliant, crystal clear mono. Slapping standup bass, bizarre lyrics, sexy hiccupping vocals, hammering guitar breaks, tone, tone, and tone. Like Elvis’ Sun sides, one can never tire of Feather’s “One Hand Loose,” “Bottle To the Baby,” or “Everybody’s Lovin’ My Baby.” Ditto, Curtis’ “Granddaddy’s Rockin’” and “Little Miss Linda.” Throw in “When You Come Around,” “Goosebumps,” and, well hell, how can you review perfection? Get this CD and review it yourself.
