Reviews for: CHARLIE FEATHERS
Review:
May the gods of Rock'n'roll bless ElToro. Here you have the complete 50's recordings of Charlie Feathers, in other words "the ultimate rockabilly album" :47 songs from the best stylist of the genre, a great country singer (Sam Phillips once said "He could have been the George Jones of his day.") and an even greater rockabilly singer, the man that brought up the hiccup to the rank of art. His singles for Sun, Meteor and King are now legendary. They're all here of course, and much more, including numerous alternate takes and demos (I've Been Deceived, Runnin Around, Defrost Your Heart, Bottle to the Baby).
Also present are songs he played as a guest musician like Jody Chastain's single on Kay on which he played rhythm guitar and The Miller Sisters'debut featuring Charlie on spoons. A 8 page booklet completes this absolute must have.
