28 Hillbilly, Western Swing and Country Honky Tonk dance-floor filling songs

'Pine State Honky Tonk' (Atomicat ACCD017) begins our journey through Hillbilly Music Culture with an exploration of the tunes that laid the groundwork for the transformation in the music industry, from Country Boogie through to the changing direction of the Hillbilly genre. The aim of these albums is to; entertain and introduce people to the various styles of Hillbilly, Western Swing and Country Honky Tonk music throughout the series.
The five albums in this series will focus on tunes with a dance tempo, some great foot tapping ditties with one or two instrumentals to vary the flavour. We do not join in the debate 'what was the first Rock 'N' Roll song?', too much conjecture, the music is here to be enjoyed and danced to and is mainly but not exclusively pre Rock 'N' Roll music. These are albums compiled by rocking people, for rocking people and one man's jive is another man's bop, and the music is here to be played not strictly categorised
Artists featured include; Western King supremo's Pee Wee King, Hank Penny, Jerry Irby and Leon McAuliffe as an introduction to the genre. Hillbilly Boogie comes from 'Little' Jimmy Dickens, Red Foley, and Tennessee Ernie. The Hillbilly Cats are; Al Terry Gene O'Quin, Johnny Tyler and Jack Tucker. Patsy Cline and Bonnie Lou more than compete with the featured male artists. This is an introduction and there is more to discover on this and the forth coming four volumes.
This 'Atomicat' album is compiled by well-known Dee Jay and face on the music scene Mark Armstrong, who has been Dee Jaying since his early teen years.
Our albums have; stunning design, sleeve notes, 28 songs, mastered for the best possible sound available. The disc is housed in an attractively constructed cardboard sleeve, specially designed to avoid the use of plastic and be environmentally friendly. The album is great to play at home and perfect for Dee Jays who will find good dance-floor filling songs.
