Ronnie Self: Ronnie Self - Rocks (CD)

1-CD (Digipak) with 36 -page booklet, 33 tracks. Total playing time approx. 79 min.

His incredibly energetic Rock-A-Billy made Ronnie Self (1938 - 1981) from Missouri one of the very top artists of the genre!
'Rocks' on Bear Family Records® delivers not only his first big hit Pretty Bad Blues (1956) but 32 more fantastic rockers.
Alongside smash hits like the immortal Bop-A-Lena, the album includes Big Blon' Baby, You're So Right For Me, Ain't I'm A Dog and Rocky Road Blues as well as some demos and recordings from the 1960s.
In keeping with the Bear Family standard, we have invested time and care to generate the best possible sound from the best possible sources.
Extensive liner notes by Bill Dahl, together with many photos and illustrations in the 36 page booklet, round off this project.
‘Rocks' is a wild trip for die-hard rockabilly fans and a highlight in our successful CD series.

They didn’t call Ronnie Self ‘Mr. Frantic’ for nothing, as viewers of ‘Ozark Jubilee’ and folks that flocked to attend ‘The Philip Morris Caravan’ could readily attest. Self’s raucous, livewire vocals were tailor-made for the emerging rockabilly movement, and his sides for ABC-Paramount, Columbia, Decca, and other major labels, which commenced in 1956 with a sizzling Pretty Bad Blues, have long mesmerized devotees of the genre.

Bear Family’s 33-song ‘Ronnie Self Rocks’ cuts a wide swath through Ronnie’s career, from his seminal ‘50s rockers including Big Blon’ Baby, You’re So Right For Me, Ain’t I’m A Dog, Rocky Road Blues and the immortal scorcher Bop-A-Lena (his only pop charter) and stripped-down early demos of Grandma’s Rockin’ and Money Honey to a fascinating series of ‘60s tapes that Ronnie made when he was primarily channeling his creative energies into songwriting.

Struggles with destructive substances hampered Self’s musical career as time went on and ultimately brought his life to a much-too-early end in 1981, but Ronnie left us some of the craziest, most unhinged recordings of the classic rockabilly era that still pack a full-fledged wallop today. Prepare for a wild ride!

... better late than never!

Finally! Was asking myself when Bear Family will put him in the ROCKS series .... AND it has happened! Fantastic that some of his fantastic 1960s recordings are included!
