Description:
Contains 32 tracks with a playing time of 76:30 minutes and a 36 page booklet. Godfather of rockabilly and king of the honky tonks, Webb Pierce was the biggest country star of the 1950s! His look alone defined hillbilly glitz and glamor! Bear Family features an exclusive compilation of uptempo songs from Pierces earlier years. The 32 performances on this `Gonna Shake This Shack Tonight` collection cover eleven years (1949-1959) and three labels, Four Star, Pacemaker and Decca. Highlights include Pierces rarely-heard rockabilly version of Teen Age Boogie, with a rawer arrangement, previously only issued in England in 1956. A new essay writen by Rich Kienzle. (Bear Family)
