It was an almost exclusively British phenomenon, propelled by home-made, DIY?simplicity; a cheap, bottom-of-the-range banjo or acoustic guitar; a stand-up tea chest bass; a washboard; a handful of thimbles; and a kazoo, from Woolworths (optional). It's no exaggeration to say that Lonnie Donegan's frantic 'Rock Island Line', which made the charts in January 1956, changed everything; it threw the \"rule book\" out of the window. Following Lonnie's breakthrough, along came The Vipers, Chas McDevitt \u0026amp; Nancy Whiskey, Johnny Duncan, Dickie Bishop, Alexis Korner \u0026amp; Cyril Davies, and dozens more. This compilation features all the singers, strummers, strokers and scratchers at the forefront of the UK Skiffle Boom - more than 40 different groups\/artists are featured - and includes many of the genre's biggest hits\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eTracks:\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e1.1 Keep Your Pistol Good and Loaded \u003cbr\u003e1.2 The Lea Valley Skiffle Group - Streamline Train \u003cbr\u003e1.3 The Old Timers Skiffle Group - the Lonnie Donegan Skiffle Group -Rock Island Line \u003cbr\u003e1.4 The Chas McDevitt Skiffle Group Featuring Nancy Whiskey - Greenback Dollar \u003cbr\u003e1.5 Dickie Bishop ; His Sidekicks - No Other Baby \u003cbr\u003e1.6 The Bob Cort Skiffle Group - 6-5 Special \u003cbr\u003e1.7 The Vipers Skiffle Group - Maggie May \u003cbr\u003e1.8 Johnny Duncan ; Blue Grass Boys - Footprints in the Snow \u003cbr\u003e1.9 The Avon Cities Skiffle Group Featuring Ray Bush - Fisherman's Blues \u003cbr\u003e1.10 Alexis Korner's Breakdown Group Featuring Cyril Davies -Roundhouse Stomp \u003cbr\u003e1.11 The Ken Colyer Skiffle Group - Mule Skinner Blues \u003cbr\u003e1.12 Sonny Stewart ; the Skiffle Kings - the Northern Line \u003cbr\u003e1.13 The Soho Skiffle Group - Give Me a Big Fat Woman \u003cbr\u003e1.14 Les Hobeaux - Dynamo \u003cbr\u003e1.15 The City Ramblers Skiffle Group - the Woman Who Loved a Swine \u003cbr\u003e1.16 The Barnstormers Spasm Band - Storming the Barn \u003cbr\u003e1.17 The Frog Island Skiffle Group - Hand Me Down My Walking Cane \u003cbr\u003e1.18 The Eden Street Skiffle Group - Raise a Ruckus Tonight \u003cbr\u003e1.19 The Original Soho Skiffle Group - the Ash Grove \u003cbr\u003e1.20 Jimmy Jackson - Midnight Train \u003cbr\u003e1.21 The 2.19 Skiffle Group - Railroad Bill \u003cbr\u003e1.22 Johnny Christmas ; the Sunspots - I'm Gonna Sing, Sing, Sing \u003cbr\u003e1.23 The Tin Pan Skiffle Group - Poor Howard \u003cbr\u003e1.24 The Delta Skiffle Group - Ain't You Glad \u003cbr\u003e1.25 The Coffee Bar Skifflers - Bad Man Stack-O-Lee \u003cbr\u003e1.26 Bob Wallis's Washboard Beaters - Crawdad Hole \u003cbr\u003e1.27 The Worried Men - Fraulein \u003cbr\u003e2.1 The Chas McDevitt Skiffle Group - House of the Rising Sun (New Orleans) \u003cbr\u003e2.2 The Chris Barber Skiffle Group Featuring Dickie Bishop - Gypsy Davy \u003cbr\u003e2.3 Nancy Whiskey ; Her Skifflers - He's Solid Gone \u003cbr\u003e2.4 Lonnie Donegan ; His Skiffle Group - Bring a Little Water, Sylvie \u003cbr\u003e2.5 The Vipers Skiffle Group - Don't You Rock Me Daddy-O \u003cbr\u003e2.6 The Chas McDevitt Skiffle Group Featuring Nancy Whiskey - Freight Train \u003cbr\u003e2.7 Lonnie Donegan ; His Skiffle Group - Lost John \u003cbr\u003e2.8 The Vipers Skiffle Group - Cumberland Gap \u003cbr\u003e2.9 The Chris Barber Skiffle Group Feat Johnny Duncan - Where Could I Go?
