Bill Haley was the first boss of Rock'n' Roll. Bear Family presents with this compilation the music that has influenced Haley and - in addition - a cross-genre collection of the best cover versions of his classic songs. The CD album covers two decades with recordings from 1938 - 1959! Sound influences of the early years. When Haley along with his Saddlemen turned to Boogie themes and R&B tracks during the late 1940s, Bill - coming from Western Swing - mixed the styles almost automatically and developed an early form of Rock 'n' Roll music.

Próximo ao final de 2005, na cidade de Curitiba/PR, os músicos Vlad e Mutant Cox ( Hillbilly Rawride ) estavam terminando as atividades de sua antiga banda, os Catalépticos, que trilhou os caminhos do Psychobilly junto ao Punk, Hardcore e Heavy Metal, mas a ideia de misturar novas sonoridades ao que eles já estavam trabalhando levou à criação do Sick Sick Sinners. Além disso, eles realizaram shows pelo Brasil, Estados Unidos e países da América Latina e isso rendeu um contrato com a gravadora alemã Crazy Love Records, que lançou o álbum Road Of Sin em 2008 com distribuição mundial. Desta forma, as novas turnês levaram o Sick Sick Sinners para o México, Estados Unidos, Chile, Argentina, Uruguai e parte da Europa. Para 2009, Vlad na guitarra e vocais e Mutant Cox no baixo acústico e vocal encontraram seu baterista definitivo no nome de Emiliano Ramirez.

Little Lesley & the Bloodshots are an original Rockabilly trio from New York. Called “a welcome shot in the arm for the rockin’ faithful” by UK’s Vintage Rock Magazine, they’ve been taking the scene by storm with their fiery twang and high energy live show. Lesley Swift fronts the band, belting out her songs and slapping the upright bass like someone who was meant to. Her passionate performances, complete with jaw-dropping bass moves, have lit up stages around the world, including the Nashville Boogie, Viva Las Vegas, Summer Jamboree (IT) and the Hotrod Hayride (UK).

Pepita Slappers, som bildades 2010, är ett ungt band på stark uppgång inom den svenska rockabillyscenen. – Det har gått snabbt uppåt. Det är inte mig emot. Det är kul att göra något som folk tycker om, säger basisten Alexander Larsson i en intervju med VK. Ända sedan starten 2010 var det självklart att bandet skulle spela den nostalgidoftande musikstilen rockabilly, med den tillhörande kulturen runt musiken. – Det är det vi lever för. Vi tycker om raggarbilar, amerikanare och så där. Det är väldigt glad musik som gör att folk blir taggade och dansar, buggar och twistar. Det är ingen mörk musik direkt, säger Larsson.

This CD album covers the entire thematic spectrum on the subject of 'summer'! Special songs of the '50s and early '60s, which deal with bathing and beach, sunburn, ice cream and barbecue and, of course, love on warm summer nights. A little bit of Italy must not be missing. Summer time is party time. That was our focus when compiling this CD. Whether the party takes place at the pool, on the beach, in your own garden or at the lake. An exuberant summer party in the warmth of the sun or on a warm summer night is now musically supported. Music for dancing and dreaming and simply for having a good time. Cool music for the hot season!

Gold: The 80's Greatest Hits is a 3CD compilation of some of the best songs of the 1980s. Released in 2008, this was put out by Sony/BMG Music Entertainment.

Diddley wore huge glasses, sported impossibly loud check jackets and wielded a distinctive rectangular guitar - but the thing that really made him stand out from the crowd was his trademark ‘hambone’ guitar riff. Even though Bo didn’t exactly invent the riff, he definitely made it his own and parlayed it into an entire career, represented here by the eponymous Bo Diddley, the romantic pleas of Pretty Thing, the yearning Mona, and the boastful strut of Gunslinger. All of which prove what an amazing range of material could be squeezed out of just one beat. But Bo couldn’t keep that beat all to himself, because it was highly infectious. The rest of this 2-CD set is crammed with fine examples of those who fell under Bo’s influence, which amounted to pretty much everybody who was anybody at the time.

If variety is the spice of life, then listening to American radio during the early part of the 1960s was certainly a spicy experience! Legend has it that the period covered by these 3CDs was a low point in pop, roughly bordered by Elvis enlisting in the Army in 1958, and the American breakthrough of The Beatles in 1964. But even the briefest look at these titles - or the quickest of listens, will disprove that legend. Here is a delicious menu of dance sensations, virtuoso instrumentals, novelty hits, heart-breaking ballads together with some of the perkiest pop you could wish for.

2007 two CD set from the Popabilly crooner. Shakin' Steven's can truly claim the '80s, in chart terms, were his. Indeed he spent more time on the UK chart than any other artist during that decade, racking up no less than 27 top 30 hits of which four hit the top spot and a further seven breached the Top 5. He's sold in excess of a staggering seven million singles to date. A loyal, predominantly female fan base ensured 'Shaky's' success and it's one that puts him in with the Beatles and Elton John who can claim the same chart domination for the '60s and the '70s respectively. This selection contains all those hits as indicated and more. 37 tracks.

Hot out of New York City, female-fronted American rockabilly trio Little Lesley & the Bloodshots hinted of what was to come with their killer vinyl EP.
