"I gotta switchblade and I'm gonna cut you".The cover looks
menacing,but the music inside follows no theme other than more
highly charged 50's rockabilly rock, by the original artists and released
on small independent labels.That's how a lot of great songs come from.
From people who believe in them well enough they take it upon themselves
and record and produce it themselves.Either the record company doesn't
believe in what they're doing,or the bands are making this music in their
basements and garages in obscurity,and have no need for those record
labels.After all, if you read about bands,and artists especially in the
1950's, the labels were the power = the owners.
And all these talented musicians would get virtually a penny per sale
of their recordings. These bands are not well known, so they sank
into obscurity, and became "collectibles". Buffalo Bop is the
company that doesn't want you to forget these bands,and makes the
music come alive again.The wonderful thing is, you hear the single as it
came off the vinyl, with no foolish noise reduction, which strips the
sound of the recording of it's nuances, and raw beauty, it's charm
and appeal. Again, another compilation with no theme, is just more
rare rockabilly in my book. The highlighted tracks are: Pink Shoes,
Teenage Baby, Ready To Go Steady,
Tuff-E-Nuff Baby, Fluffy Dog, Study Hall Blues, Grandpa's Rock,
Stompin' To The Beat, Pinch Me Quick, and My Little Jewel.
Get it while you can in the comments and remember kids,
switchblades are illegal in several states, but they make fine
finger nail cleaners.
Well I hope this one puts you in the mood of Christmas. I'm practicallydreading it myself, yet I am having such a fine time searching every body's else's fabulous blogs of Christmas music. The weirder the better,please! This is a wonderful volume of strictly Christmas themed rockabilly tracks. Another 30 tracks, every one of 'em are winners! I'm currently diggingthese fine tracks: Rock Around The Christmas Tree, Sleigh Bell Rock, The Wildest Christmas, Rock n' Rudolph, Reindeer Rock, Jingle Bells Boogie, and of course I Wanna Spend Christmas With Elvis. Not your usual Christmas "Simon,Alvin and Theodore,Jingle Bell Barking Dogs,or Jingle Cats Meowing Bad Christmas Tunes", so this should delight even the toughest holiday music critics! Music makes the house seem more festive, so rock on here! Links in the comments. Only 12 more days until Christmas!
Well, this title pretty much says it all doesn't it? You betcha! Another 30 tracks of vintage rockabilly from the 1950's, with cool songs like: Wiggling Blond, How About A Date, Hot Dog, Bop A Lena, Rock n' Roll Grandpa, Raised On Rock n' Roll, It's A Lonely World, and Blankety Blank. It's a hoot to listen to, and I think this series will get you hooked to this sound, make sure you check out other blogs with this kind of fabulous music. If you're a total crack-pot like me, you mightas well go under the google search engine,and type rockabilly and rapid share and look out. Hope you have a large hard drive, you rock and roll monkeys. I know some people like to abuse rapid share, but how can you when you get to hear all of thislovely music? Never complain about it because you never know when this whole damn thing will come to a crashing end. Links are now in the comments, okay?!
A rare volume of female rockabilly tracks! 30 more tracks of rockabilly 1950's-early 1960's originals. Just as fun as any other volume, the tracks I highlight here are Teenage Boogie, Cool Cat, What Does A Lifeguard Do In The Fall (?), At The Sock Hopis juvenile fun, Watch Me Do The Twist, Eskimo Baby, Mean Man Blues, and Teenage Rebel. Hardly a bad song inthe whole bunch. Dig the chicks right here. http://rapidshare.com/files/167135947/Buffalo_Bop_55150_Candy_Doll.rar.html
Tony Curtis in a switchblade fight? Bad Boy-a good theme for a series of compilations of 1950's rockabilly. This entire comp is dedicated to them; Here's a sampleof the way cool songs and titles: All Night In Jail,Okie In The Pokie, Don't Hang Around Me No More, Red Hot Mama, Take It Easy,Greasy! and of course I've Been A Bad Bad Boy by The King Beats.Yet another winner compilation of vintage 1950's rock and roll from the original singles. This one is a strong one with some amazing tracks! Don't sit around wondering if this is cool enough, these are very hard to find, and no one has ever really compiled this large a series of rockabilly music discs. Dig it baby! http://rapidshare.com/files/164877974/Buffalo_Bop_-_55003_-_Bad_Boy.rar.html
Skipping along in the Buffalo Bop series, 30 more tracks of mid 50's blast available to you, fellow hipsters. This one has some interesting titles you're going to wanna to hear it-because they're fun - Teen Age Talk, Oh Geronimo!, Ain't That A Dilly, Report Card Time, My Knees Turn To Jelly, and so many more worth hearing. I'm having a wonderful time listening to these, and I really enjoy seeing people grab these, so this kind of music never gets forgotten! That's what it's all about, man. Dig the cover with the junvenile deliquent that looks like a retarded James Dean! http://rapidshare.com/files/156830725/Buffalo_Bop_-_55151_-_Skippin__Along.rar.html
Another Buffalo Bop in the series of great songs by obscure artists,who should've made more records! Another 30 tracks with one reallyrare acetate,and it's Sonny Fisher "Rockin' Daddy" wow, that meansit's never been pressed into a single, and that's the only way you could hear this song. And there's plenty more Class-A rockabilly like thesesongs: When Sin Stops, Rockin' Beat, Cotton Pickin' Heartache, Jello Sal, Hootchi Cootchi Man,Shake Bop, and a groovy little tune "Whiplash" by Riki And The Rikitones! All from the 1950's, when people had fallout shelters, and drove very large cars made from real thick metal, and the led sled was born. I come from a long lineof car enthusiasts, and we always date ourselves by our cars. Copy and paste into your browser and warm up the tube amp!http://rapidshare.com/files/153152476/Buffalo_Bop_-_55027_-_Teenage_Wolfpack.rar
Ice Cold is not ice cold-it's red hot baby! I found a lot of tracksto fall in love with this week; Teen Age Machine Age, Bermuda Shorts,Gee Whiz!, Miss Secretary, Pajama Party, Walkie Talkie, and yet another cover of Mule Skinner Blues. Now that should date this volume to songs about as new as 1960 or so. Because that's whenthat terrific hit-out-of-nowhere came out by The Fendermen. The Fendermen were a pop rockabilly duo in the early 1960s.
Primarily composed of Jim Sundquist (from Kingsford,WI.)and Phil Humphrey(from Stoughton,near Madison WI.) The group had one big hit record with Mule Skinner Blues released in 1960 on the Cuca Records Label out of Sauk City,Wisconsin. The song was a number #3 on the Billboard Charts,so then came a slew of covers, trying to exploit the hit...but no one really did it as well as The Fendermen, man! (The Cramps do the best cover version in my humble opinion, no one can yodel like Lux) http://rapidshare.com/files/153169209/Buffalo_Bop_-_55162_-_Ice_Cold.rar.html
Jukebox Rock features all songs with themes of guess what? Jukeboxes! That was what drove the kids wild back then, before there were affordable home record players, and small tube amps, the jukebox was king. Every bar,tavern, and small diner had them, and they still make jukeboxes-if you look online, there's still companies making vintage looking jukeboxes that play Cd's. For the kid in everyone. Now they have NEW floor standing,wall mounted jukeboxes, they're as colorful and grand as can be, some even play mp3's and ipods! And some are digital download-able models. Imagine that!They have all of the original brand names; Rowe, Rock-Ola, and Wurlitzer still being made today. They even have jukeboxes that still play 45's that are brand new! This particular site athttp://www.jukeboxes.com/ said that jukeboxes have been around for nearly 100 years! Really cool to check these out! Getting back to this particular disc; the songs all have the theme of jukeboxes and some of the titles are: Juke Joint Johnnie, Jukebox Queen, Jukebox Julie, Jukebox Cannon Ball, Jukebox Mama, Rock-Ola Ruby, and Juke Box Find My Baby! Crazy man, crazy! http://rapidshare.com/files/151308927/Buffalo_Bop_55094_Jukebox_Rock.rar.html
This one has a definite theme to it-all space rockabilly!This one just might be my favorite, since I love 1950's monster and sci-fi movies from that era. My favorite movies are Tarantula, The Creature From The Black Lagoon, and the super early filmThe Day The Earth Stood Still. And who wouldn't love these songs titles: Orbit With Me, The Martian Band, Moon Eyes,Monkey On The Moon, Planetary Run, Flying Saucer Boogie,Rocket To The Moon, The Little Space Girl....and how about this one Zippy Hippy Dippy! They don't even know what outer space is like, so the songs are pretty funny in many ways.Wildy entertaining disc! I'm koo koo for this one. http://rapidshare.com/files/151309049/Buffalo_Bop__55166_Rockin__Orbit.rar.html
More rockabilly you say? Okay! Here we go. Another swell volume of fabulous rockabilly again, the songs titles alone will make you want these- Rattlesnake Daddy, Lonesome Guitar, Little Heart Attacks, and my favorite Rock And Roll Itch. The itch you can't scratch. These sound terrific, and dated, and again from the original singles. I'm going to serve up more, so come on back for seconds and thirds. http://rapidshare.com/files/145559170/Buffalo_Bop_55082_Shake_It_Up.rar.html
