Country music legend Johnny Cash was a force of nature - part rocker, part rebel, part gospel crusader - and his influence was as immediate and profound. Just as Hank Williams inspired an army of sound-a-likes, so too did the Man in Black, and this collection of Cash-inspired contemporaries throbs with his very particular brand of swagger and soul. Featuring contributions from the likes of underappreciated West Coast rockabilly Bobby Wayne and honky tonk colossus Sleepy LaBeef, it's a wild, irresisitible musical ride, full of Cash-tastic rhythms and attitude.
"That'll Flat… Git It!" is one of the best compilations of the 1950's rockabilly. Each volume contains nearly 30 songs, mostly rockabilly classics and unknown great artists. In spite the tracks were remastered, you can hear some noise, especially in the end of the tracks. This is because many songs were taken from original vinyl singles.
Buck Owens turned Bakersfield, California into the epicenter of hip country music in the mid-'60s. All it took was a remarkable streak of number one singles that steam rolled right through Nashville with their electrified twang, forever changing the notion of what constituted country music and codifying the Bakersfield sound as hard-driving rhythms, trebly Telecasters, and lean arrangements suited for honky tonks, beer joints, and jukeboxes all across America. Half-a-century later, these remain sonic signifiers of Bakersfield, so the term no longer conveys a specific sound, place, and era, a situation the weighty Bear Family box The Bakersfield Sound: Country Music Capital of the West 1940-1974 intends to rectify.
