• Lyhyt kuvaus CD (Digipak) with 36 -page booklet, 35 tracks. Total playing time approx. 79 min. The 45th edition in the popular 'That'll Flat Git It!' CD series on Bear Family Records® explores the rockabilly and R'n'R catalog of Imperial Records, a genre-busting L.A. label. Among the popular rock stars on Imperial were Ricky Nelson, The Burnette Brothers, Merle Kilgore, Lew Williams, Laura Lee Perkins, Dennis Herrold, Jackie Walker and Bob Luman. Lesser known but musically by no means less important names round off the project. Extensive liner notes by Chicago music historian Bill Dahl and remastered recordings from the best possible sources provide additional listening pleasure - non-stop rocking! Lew Chudd’s Los Angeles-based Imperial Records had the roots music field covered like a blanket during the ‘50s: country, rockabilly, R&B (especially of the New Orleans variety), and several more sub-genres distinguished its catalog in great abundance. Bear Family’s ‘That'll Flat Git It! Vol. 45’ is devoted to a deep dive into Imperial’s vast archives, digging up 35 gems by some of the label’s top names. Three rockers by Imperial’s favorite teen idol Ricky Nelson are aboard, as are classics by The Burnette Brothers, Merle Kilgore, Lew Williams, Laura Lee Perkins, Dennis Herrold, Jackie Walker, and Bob Luman. But this series is known for its super-obscurities, so there are plenty of those on offer by Tommy Lomonte, The Leen Teens, Jay Blue, Sonny Anderson and Slick Slavin, just for starters. Freddy Fender in his formative years and New Orleans jump blues shouter Roy Brown are here too, and there’s a flat-out slab of romping Crescent City R&B by the fiery Gloria Jean Pitts. This set is a non-stop rocking delight!
