It's here together with Black Denim Trousers And Motorcycle Boots and other songs including Cold, Cold Woman (The Hot Guitar), Steamboat Stomp, Hard Road To Travel, and Knock It Off. It all fits right into our much acclaimed 'Gonna Shake This Shack Tonight' country boogie series.This CD, compiled by rockabilly expert Bill Millar, was recorded between 1947 and 1957... Eddie Hill's golden decade. It's a wild mix of country, country jazz and rock 'n' roll recorded for Apollo, Decca, Mercury, RCA Victor and Columbia. Every song is full of Eddie Hill's larger-than-life down-home personality. Fans of great pickin' take note: Eddie Hill was a sophisticated musician who surrounded himself with musicians of the highest calibre, so these are very accomplished recordings, too. Backing musicians include Chet Atkins, Hank Garland, and Willie Nelson's compadre, Paul Buskirk.
