Rockabilly from the vaults of Lin/Kliff Records!

"This is the kind of stuff that you need to be doing. Forget the hillbilly and country and western."

Alta Hayes, counter person at Dallas’ Big State record distributors, playing an early Elvis Presley Sun release to Joe Leonard, 1954.

Producer and label owner Joe Leonard of Gainesville, Texas, has recorded a wide variety of music over the years, from his first session in late 1953 to the present day, not only that he waxed for his own Lin Record label from '53 to '68, but also the material he leased to other labels like MGM and Imperial through his Leonard Productions. His output ran the gamut from honkytonk & western swing to pop, rhythm and blues, rockabilly and rock 'n' roll, with an occasional spoken word, children’s record or gospel release thrown in, too.

There were hits and misses, though more hits in a musical sense than a commercial one. Lin Records enjoyed only one real chart hit, Ken Copeland’s Pledge Of Love in 1957. There are memorable sides from Lin’s early country sessions and some strong pop releases, but unquestionably Leonard's lasting significance, as a producer and as a label owner, stems from his early grasp of the commercial possibilities of rockabilly and rock 'n' roll and his subsequent exploration of those styles, initially long before most sensed their viability.

Bear Family has explored Leonard’s legacy previously in single CDs devoted to Lin’s most important artists Buck Griffin (BCD 15811) and Andy Starr (BCD 15845) and in a 4-CD box set (BCD 15950) that follows the winding trail of Lin Records and Leonard Productions from 1953-1968.

This collection focuses, however, on the best of Lin’s rockabilly and rock 'n' roll sides (with a few sides from sister label Kliff) from 1956-60, with representative sides from the gutsy, earthy, early work of Griffin and Starr, and the assured, tight college sextet the Strikes (also featured on Bear Family’s Imperial Rockabilly set, That'll Flat Git It, Volume 12, BCD 16102), to the smoother, pop-tinged sounds of Jerry Fuller and the Tu-Tones and the hot instrumental blues of the Atmospheres, as well as the late period rockabilly of David Ray -- to name only a few.

(Kevin Coffey, Bear Family Records 1999)

That'll Flat Git It

CDs Album-Serie produziert von Bear Family Records

'That'll Flat Git It!' das war das verbale Erkennungszeichen des Memphis Disc Jockeys Dewey Phillip, der keinen geringeren als Elvis Presley erstmalig im Radio spielte... Und 'That'll Flat Git It' heisst unsere Bear Family Records Rockabilly CD-Album Serie! Wer kennt nicht die legendären Lanspielplatten wie die 'MGM Rockabillies', die 'Chess Rockabillies', die 'Rare Rockabilly' Zusammenstellungen der Firma MCA, oder die Columbia Zusammenstellungen. Alle Rockabillykracher, die auf diesen LPs enthalten waren, gibt es bei uns auf CD-Album plus mindestens doppelt so vieler weiterer Rockabilly Songs!

Einzigartige That'll Flat Git It! Rockabilly-Serie

Wir machten uns auf die Suche nach den am besten klingenden Bändern. Ließen sie dann von den führenden Mastering-Spezialisten bearbeiten und haben auch in puncto Verpackung neue Maßstäbe gesetzt. Als übergeordneten Serien-Titel wählten wir ' That'll Flat Git It!', das verbale Erkennungszeichen des ersten Rockabilly-Discjockeys Dewey Phillips.
Außerdem suchten wir unveröffentlichtes Fotomaterial und machten all jene Interpreten ausfindig, nach denen bis dahin vergeblich geforscht worden war.
Unterm Strich steht unsere einzigartige That'll Flat Git It! Serie

Eine sehr gute Zusammenstellung.Top!

Die CDs dieser Serie kann ich sehr empfehlen, denn sie sind eine Zusammenstellung sehr selten gespielter und in Deutschland sonst kaum erhältlicher Rockabilly-Titel. Daneben gibt es auch immer einige gute Country-Aufnahmen, sprich viel Musik für vergleichsweise wenig Geld. Kauftipp!
