Roots Of Rockabilly is exactly what its title implies: 26 toetappers from 1950 that presaged rock's 1954 explosion. Red Foley's line "Let's all dance together and have a wonderful time," in "Birmingham Bounce" embodies the CD's carefree vibe.

Well-chosen obscurities outnumber hits such as Hank Snow's "I'm Movin' On" and Eddy Arnold's "Cuddle Buggin' Baby." Hank Thompson's "Humpty Dumpty Boogie" tries to cash in on his earlier "Humpty Dumpty Heart." Hardrock Gunter would later re-record "Gonna Dance All Night" (here on Bama) for Sun. The Maddox Brothers & Rose sound typically untamable. Guitar/steel guitar wunderkinds Jimmy Bryant and Speedy West appear as a duo after backing Tennessee Ernie (Ford) and Kay Starr's comically bickering "Ain't Nobody's Business But My Own." Revising his folk standard "Ida Red," Bob Wills' western swing "Ida Red Likes The Boogie" hints at the word boogie's carnal origins.

This English-based Acrobat label's well-remastered, nicely annotated, and lushly illustrated compilation jumps from label to label (due to the age of these tracks, they are public domain in Europe). Hopefully, Acrobat has companion discs in the works for subsequent years that will be just as lovingly assembled.
