Cant Hardly Stand It

Rockabilly - hey man, they can say what they want about the blues, but blues is in rockabilly, bluegrass is in rockabilly, country is in rockabilly. When you hear it, you hear it all, Jack! That's the reason I say it's the beginning and the end of music. " - Charlie Feathers An undisputed king of rockabilly music, Charlie Feathers started out at the legendary Sun studio in 1954 writing songs for Elvis Presley before launching his own faultless recording career on Sun, Meteor, King and other labels. Feathers' reputation as the unreconstructed hero of rockabilly was set by the European revival of the 1970s, since when he has been lifted to the status of "God" by the patronage of such high-profile fans as the Cramps, Bob Dylan, the Fall and Quentin Tarantino. This double CD set finally gathers together all the prime 1950s recordings of the man, including all his known demos, alternative takes and even the tracks which feature Charlie as a session musician on guitar and spoons!
