  • 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. Impassioned vocals, acoustic rhythm guitar, electric lead guitar, and upright slap bass. 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. The band proved the power of great songs played by guys with an encyclopedic knowledge of rock and roll, hillbilly, and rhythm & blues. Suddenly, rockabilly was new again.
 
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. Later, on the road through Tennessee, the trio tracked down Scotty Moore for an in-person discussion of how the Sun Studio sounds were developed. Then they made them their own.
 
From 1988 to 1996, from Helotes to Helsinki, Texarkana to Tokyo, High Noon rocked the world. They joined forces with their first generation rockabilly hero Ronnie Dawson and barnstormed Carnegie Hall. They transported Conan O'Brien's NBC television studio to Monkey Beat City. Then they took a long break. They still convene when the spirit moves them, and their power still leaves audiences Glorybound. Flatland Saturday Night captures the decade when it was High Noon for rockabilly and three cats from Austin cast a long shadow…

Glory bound?

Everything falls into place with this trio and this compilation: songs, sound and energy. Trust me, hard to find a better neo-rockabilly set.

Recommended without reservation

Now Dig This 11/15 "As one would expect from Bear Family, the fold-out digipak is furnished with a superb 40-page booklet containing an illustrated biography of the trio. Recommended without reservation."
