Description
Although the label tends to be best-known for its pop covers of ‘50s R&B hits, Randy Wood’s Dot Records with its subsidiary Hamilton Records also issued more than its share of legitimate rockabilly and rock and roll.
Bear Family Records®’ latest entry in its ‘That’ll Flat Git It!’ series salutes that side of the company’s
voluminous release slate, bringing together no less than 37 selections by a vast array of artists both wellknown (Leroy Van Dyke, Jim Lowe, Sanford Clark, Jimmy Newman, Robin Luke) and demonstrably obscure (Prentis Slade, Billy Joe Tucker, Ned Costner, Keith Courvale, Tommy Danton & The Echoes), each one a winner.
The Nighthawks’ original When Sin Stops, Mac Wiseman’s Hey, Mr. Blues Man, raspy-voiced Jimmy Dee and The Offbeats’ Don’t Cry No More and Here I Come, Tom Blair & The West Coasters’ Rock It, and Sonny Curtis’ A Pretty Girl underscore the wide-ranging artist roster that Dot amassed (the label commenced operations in Gallatin, Tennessee before relocating to Hollywood in 1957).
Veteran pop crooner Snooky Lanson proves he could rock on Stop (Let Me Off The Bus), and latter-day TV evangelist Ken Copeland’s seriously overheated cover of Where The Rio De Rosa Flows has to be heard to be believed!
