The music that ignited the contemporary rockabilly scene

In the blistering Austin, Texas summer heat of 1988, High Noon took American roots music by storm with its masterful presentation of real, string band rockabilly.

To hell with the drums, this was rock and roll played the way Elvis, Scotty and Bill had unleashed it on the world in 1954.

Over the next decade, High Noon, the Rockabilly Trio - Shaun Young, Kevin Smith and Sean Mencher - put plenty of sweat into their ''back to the beginning'' sound. The band seized every opportunity to perform, honing their craft from Austin's clubs and honky tonks to farmer's markets.

Flatland Saturday Night is cherry-picked from High Noon's three Goofin' Records long players. Listen to the title track, Rock Too Slow, I'm Not Blue and Stranger Things and you'll instantly understand High Noon's important contribution to the all-time rockabilly canon. And if you don't find yourself dancing and singing along, you need to see a doctor.

Every track included on the collection is played with intensity and attitude. The High Noon boys proved who they were on their first foray into the studio, knocking out their 11 song debut LP (select cuts presented here) in four hours.
