Various - That'll Flat Git It: Vol.42 - That'll Flat Git It! Rockabilly & Rock 'n' Roll From The Vaults Of King, Federal & DeLuxe Records (CD)

1-CD (Digipak) with 36 page booklet, 30 tracks. Total playing time approx. 71 min.

The first of two CDs that feature recordings from Cincinnati's legendary King label in the successful 'That'll Flat…Git It!' series of rock 'n' roll and rockabilly on Bear Family Records®.
Beginning in the mid-1950s, King Records - founded in 1943 - released outstanding rockabilly along with R&B and country.
The musicians were primarily from Ohio, Kentucky and Indiana, including icons like Charlie Feathers, Trini Lopez, Bruce Channel and Rusty York, teen rockers like Wes Voight and Fuller Tood, and guys like Moon Mullican and Dave Dudley.
Over the years, King's R&R and rockabilly catalog grew to compete internally with R&B and C&W.
Detailed liner notes by Chicago music historian, Bill Dahl on the history of the label and each artist in the extensive booklet, plus lots of photos, illustrations and carefully mastered recordings from the best possible sources.

Launched by Syd Nathan in late 1943, Cincinnati’s King Records held a unique place within the postwar record industry: it was equally prolific and successful in the rhythm and blues and country and western fields.

That placed it in excellent stead when rockabilly broke out during the mid-1950s; young rocking talent abounded in the tri-state area surrounding Cincy (Ohio, Kentucky, Indiana), and King attracted the cream of the crop.

King recorded so many rockabilly classics that it took two of Bear Family’s ‘That’ll Flat…Git It!’ volumes just to gather the highlights. Volume 1 includes seminal performances by label mainstays Charlie Feathers, Mac Curtis, and piano-pounding Moon Mullican as well as rip-roaring obscurities by Hank Mizell (Jungle Rock), Dave Dudley (Rock And Roll Nursery Rhyme), Trini Lopez (a pre-fame Rock On), Bruce Channel, Hardrock Gunter, Delbert Barker, Rusty York, and Joe Penny.

Boyd Bennett and His Rockets—King’s answer to Bill Haley and His Comets—are here too, as are teen rockers Wes Voight and Fuller Todd and country stalwarts Luke McDaniel and Bob Newman. King ended up just as rich in rockabilly and rock and roll as it had been in R&B and C&W; this collection and its companion volume BCD17672 pay expansive tribute to Nathan’s visionary operation.

That'll Flat Git It CD-Album-Series with Rockabilly Music

Classic Rockabilly on CD

Back in 1992, we had the idea that we should create the all-time definitive Rockabilly CD-Album-Series, That'll Flat Git It! - Above all, Rockabilly was music recorded for 45RPM singles, so we designed a CD-Album-Serie label-by-label instead of artist-by-artist. And we compiled it for listening pleasure. Just the great stuff, plus a few super rarities.

Every of these That'll Flat Git It CDs would be for the most part a 30 song jukebox of the finest Rockabilly ever recorded for all the great labels. We sourced the very best sounding tapes and took them to the best mastering engineers. On top we took the packaging to a new level.

We adopted the catchphrase of the first Rockabilly dee-jay, Dewey Phillips, 'That'll Flat Git It!', and we hired Bill Millar, who'd compiled the still-classic label-oriented LPs in the 1970s and 1980s, to write the notes. We looked for previously unpublished photos, and tried to find all the artists who'd never been found before.

The result is a truly definitive Rockabilly CD-Album-Serie

From: Promo Bear On:26 Nov 2023

wie immer hervorragend, informativ, Stoff für Entdeckungsreisen, unterhaltend, mitreißend!

"Die offenbar schier unerschöpfliche Serie von Bear Family Records legt mit "Rockabilly & Rock’n’Roll From The Vaults Of King, Federal, DeLuxe – Records" die zweiundvierzigste Ausgabe vor! Gleich vorweg – wie immer hervorragend, informativ, Stoff für Entdeckungsreisen, unterhaltend, mitreißend!

Dreißig Songs, dazu wieder ein sechsunddreißig Seiten starkes Booklet von Bill Dahl, in dem umfassende Informationen darauf warten, zum Zwecke der Wissensmehrung gelesen zu werden. Denn etwas über Künstler wie Delbert Barker, Donnie White, Ken McDonald oder The Town Three feat. Wes Voight zu erfahren tut wohl Not, weiß man über solche Interpreten recht wenig. Im Gegensatz zu solchen wie Hank Mizell, Trini Lopez, Dave Dudley oder Hardrock Gunter, über die man aber natürlich auch wieder gern etwas liest. Dazu gibt es viele Fotos und Illustrationen, die den Zeitgeist widerspiegeln.

Die 1943 von Syd Nathan gegründete Plattenfirma King Records veröffentlichte ab Mitte der Fünfziger neben R&B und Country auch Rockabilly, und aufgrund der Nachfrage wuchs dieser Bereich ebenso an wie das Genre Rock’n’Roll. Und so startet Cecil McNabb Jr. die Kompilation mit druckvollem Rock’n’Roll aus dem Jahr 1958. Insgesamt hören wir Musik aus den Jahren zwischen 1955 und 1962. Delbert Barker bringt noch einen coolen Swing in seinen Rock’n’Roll, hier spürt man dann auch deutlich die Verknüpfung der damals aktuellen Stile wie R&B, Rockabilly, Rock’n’Roll und Country. Mac Curtis führt mich gedanklich dann hinein in die Sun Studios von Sam Phillips, so ähnlich klang so mancher dort aufgenommener Beitrag.

Egal, ob sich nun unbekannte, weniger bekannte oder sehr bekannte Künstler die Klinke in die Hand geben, die Qualität bleibt jeweils gleich hoch. Charlie Feathers bringt nun cooles Rockabilly-Feeling ein, ja, und hier merkt man es auch, war Feathers doch auch in den Sun Studios aktiv. Das wohl am bekannteste Stück ertönt mit dem "Jungle Rock" – von Hank Mizell, eingespielt im Jahr 1959. In total flotten Tempo reißt mich nun Ronnie Wade mit, und lange, bevor er in Hollywood Fuß fasste und man ihn mit "If I Had A Hammer", "La Bamba" oder anderen Hits in Verbindung brachte, war Trini Lopez auch vorab anderweitig unterwegs. "Rock On" hieß es 1959.

So, weitere Highlights gefällig? Man sollte hierbei nicht das frech rockende "Eeny-Meeny-Miney-Moe" des kanadischen Ehepaars Bob and Lucille auslassen, den Country-Sound von Bob Newman genießen, aber auch das Gesangs-Quintett The Bon-Aires, dass Doo Wop integriert, bietet feine Unterhaltung. Moon Mullican erinnert mich an Bill Haley, mit Joe Perry stellt sich der Lead-Gitarrist von Hank Williams vor, klar – mit einem tollen Solo, und "wer so gern Dave Dudley hören" möchte, dem bietet sich mit dem swingenden "Rock And Roll Nursery Rhyme" die Gelegenheit, allerdings schaut er hier über den "Country-Tellerrand".
Bei Wayne Carroll gackern die Hühner ("Chicken Out"), ja, und bei The Town Three feat. Wes Voight erleben wir genau jenen Mr. Voight, der später unter dem Namen Chip Taylor bekannter wurde ("Wild Thing"), und der Bruder von Jon Voight ist (Film "Midnight Cowboy"). Zuguterletzt werden wir mit einem sanft swingenden Country-Titel verabschiedet, Luke McDaniel singt "One More Heart" und erfreut dasselbe mit seinem schönen stimmungsvollen Song."

King had a surprisingly strong legacy in the early years of rock!

The legendary King Records is known as an important label for R&B and hillbilly music – but the label also has a surprisingly strong legacy in the early years of rock as well – maybe in part because it did such a good job of keeping its ear to the ground with those other important styles! King never got the chart-topping hits of a label like Sun Records, but it did manage to draw together an equally impressive array of talents – some still underground names after all these years, others now elevated in the secret history of rock and roll through their work for the label! The set brings together 30 tracks from King and related Federal and DeLuxe labels, all with the detailed notes and well-chosen cuts that continue to make this series so important, even after many years and dozens of releases!

Musikhistorisch wertvoll!

Mit der 42. Ausgabe der musikhistorisch wichtigen "That'll Flat Git It"-Serie blickt Bear Family nach Cincinnati, wo King Records neben Country und R&B vor allem Rockabilly im Programm hatte. Bill Dahl liefert in den ausführlichen Liner Notes Fakten zu Label und Künstler
Good Time, 3/2023

From: Bo Berglind On:3 Jul 2023

A nice edition with generous booklet and many nice pictures

This release opens in the 200th note with the unknown Cecil McNabb Jr. and "Clock Tickin' Rhythm", other artists are more familiar to the collector such as Mac Curtis ("If I had Me A Woman"), Charlie Feathers ("One Hand Loose"/"Nobody's Wo- man"), Boyd Bennett ("You Upset Me Baby"), Moon Mullican ("Rock 'n' Roll Mr. Bullfrog"), Rusty Bennett ("You Upset Me Baby"), and many others. Bullfrog"), Rusty York ("Shake 'Em Up Baby") and Luke McDaniel ("One More Heart") to name a few. In addition to these, there are several who easily hold their own such as Joe Penny, Delbert Barker, Hank Mizell, Bill Beach and Donnie White!
