The bottomless vaults of Columbia Records have contributed spectacularly to our 'That'll Flat...Git It!' series. This latest deep dive into Columbia's voluminous rockabilly and rock and roll archive uncovers another 30 savage sides (a handful pulled from its Epic and OKeh sister labels), including revered classics from Johnny Horton (Lover's Rock, The Wild One), The Collins Kids (The Rockaway Rock, Heartbeat), Marty Robbins (Long Tall Sally), Carl Perkins (Pointed Toe Shoes), and Link Wray (Raw-Hide as well as a rare vocal turn on Ain't That Lovin' You Baby). But there are plenty of lesser-known gems aboard this viciously rocking disc too - Dick Lory's Wild-Blooded Woman, Larry Hart's A-Looka - A Looka, Dick Glasser's Crazy Alligator, and Bernie Nee's Lend Me Your Comb (the same charmer Carl Perkins cut for Sun) just for starters. Charlie Adams, Johnny Bond, Little Jimmy Dickens, Lefty Frizzell, The Maddox Brothers and Rose, and Carl Butler illustrate the indelible impact that country music had on the fast-developing rockabilly idiom during the mid-'50s (Mel Tillis and Bill Phillips were about to embrace country stardom), while Commonwealth Jones (actually Ronnie Dawson), Bobby Lord, and Rick Tucker and The Picks represent the younger generation. Under the savvy stewardship of A&R chief Don Law, Columbia's massive country catalog contained plenty of vicious rockabilly. Like its storied predecessors, this Columbia compilation really delivers the goods!
