Description
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.
