4 out of 5 stars Rock-A-Billy Review.......2007-05-02

Another good album by the Bear Family in this series. As with all of the cd's the liner notes are a good history of the people and the music and help make the price more bearable. Like the song selection, but like discs 10, 16, 17 and 2 better.

3 out of 5 stars Rockabilly?.......2005-07-11

Well, I can tell you that this compilation has nothing to do with rockabilly. But it's intresting anyway. It is more garage rock and roll from the sixties, featuring artists like Billy Barry ("They Call Me Willie The Wild One" and "My Love Is True" are absolutely my favourites from this cd), Billy Balls (who played around with Cheetah Chrome, ex. The Dead Boys and got shot to death), Charlie Starr, ex. Black Sabbath singer Ronnie Dio (here with two songs "Do the Oop-Poo-Pah -Doo" and "Love Pains") and Otis Blackwell's song that was covered by Elvis Presley "One Broken Heart For Sale".

3 out of 5 stars Great Collection, but weak link in series.......2000-08-28

I have over half of this great rockabilly series. Each volume feaures a different record company, and some of the rockabilly that they released back in the genre's day. There are some darn fine songs that haven't seen a mass audience since the 50's, some not at all. Volume four cover a record label called Festival, which operated in New York in the 60's. The high point of the Rockabilly scene was in the late 50's to early 60's, the earliest track on this collection is 1961, as the scene was winding down. The tracks on this disc do rock, but they show obvious influence from Rock that came after Rockabilly, some an almost California 60's rock. A nice point of interest on this disc: The original demo for One Broken Heart for Sale by Otis Blackwell is present. This song would eventually be performed by Elvis in it happened at the Worlds Fair. (Blackwell also wrote Don't Be Cruel). Also there are two numbers by a man named Ronnie Dio. The same Dio who would eventually go on to front Black Sabbath after Ozzie Osbourne left. My biggest let down with this disc though was how light it is. The majority of this series all feature around 30 tracks each. The Festival volume only has 16. If you are someone who is just getting into Rockabilly or just beginning to research the history of the music try another volume (like vol. 1-3 which are all very strong.). This is not really the place to start, but if you are a completist or looking for some Rockabilly outside the norm, try this disc.

Customer Reviews:

5 out of 5 stars Hot Rockabilly!.......2005-07-11

This compilation is one of the hottest from this series. It represents Decca'a hottest rockabilly. The rockiest performer here it is of course Johnny Carroll, whose Hot Rock, Wild Wild Women, Crazy Crazy Lovin', Corrine Corrina and Trying To Get To You are already rockabilly classics. Sweet Love On My Mind is another rockabilly classic mostly known by Johnny Burnette And His Rock 'n' Roll Trio here performed by Jimmy And Johnny.
Eddie Fontaine is known by his hit Nothin' Shakin' (covered by The Beatles). Here you can hear a hot rocker Cool It Baby. Ten Little Women of Terry Noland is a song that The Blue Cats before they were named The Blue Cats covered. Roy Hall is another legendary rockabilly or maybe more boogie woogie piano player, here featured with five numbers (Diggin' The Boogie, Off-Beat Boogie, Whole Lotta Shakin' Goin' On, Bill Haley's See You Later Alligator and Three Alley Cats). Don Woody is another treasure and is known only to really die hard rockabilly fans.
You gotta have this

5 out of 5 stars killer stuff.......2003-11-25

You can't really go wrong with any of the collections in this series. But Vol. 2 stands out. It's just killer track after killer track. Perhaps we can thank Grady Martin for it. He was the bandleader and lead guitarist on most of these sessions, which were recorded for Decca during the brief period when all the record labels were trying to cash in on the rockabilly craze.

5 out of 5 stars Essential for any fan of Rockabilly............2002-04-16

Drop this platter in the disc player and you're sure to wear out your boppin shoes. This CD features one of Rockabilly's wildest ever, Johnny Carroll. What can I say about Johnny? Frantic, nervous, surely kept the girls on the edge of their seats (if not tearin his threads off). The CD also contains a whole slew of other Decca gems re-issued in all their original glory. The lyrics are typical rockabilly fare. In other words if you are looking for meaningful social commentary, you're in the wrong bloody place. Don Woody? "Barking up the Wrong Tree" and "Bird Dog" are a couple of the best boppers around! ARF ARF!!!!

4 out of 5 stars Rare original rockabilly sides.......2002-03-06

Given the meteoric rise and short original lifespan of Rockabilly, one might be tempted to consider it a passing fancy. But given the deep roots it shared in both hillbilly and rhythm 'n' blues, and the lasting impact it would have on rock 'n' roll, the explosion of sound in the mid-to-late-50s is seen to be a whole more than an industry-fueled fad. Bear Family's seemingly endless "That's Flat... Git It" series chronicles the scads of lesser known artists and rare sides that were the ice berg of music holding up the tip that appeared on the charts via Elvis, Carl Perkins and others.

Volume 2 focuses on sides waxed for Decca in the U.S. The label's country A&R chief, Paul Cohen, ran both country roster artists and new finds through a single or two, cutting them loose if they didn't hit (and losing Buddy Holly in the process!). Most of the sessions were arranged and produced by legendary studio guitarist Grady Martin (whose acoustic lead was famously featured on Marty Robbins' "El Paso"), and recorded in Owen Bradley's studio, with Bradley often playing piano.

Bear Family selected thirty tracks (all in glorious mono) previously anthologized on a four-volume UK anthology, and added Bill Millar's exquisitely detailed notes and discographical information. The highlights are numerous, including Don Woody's hiccuping (and barking) "You're Barking Up the Wrong Tree" (how could the Cramps not have covered this?!), and Autry Inman's jivey "Be Bop Baby" (not to be confused with Ricky Nelson's like-named song). Jimmy & Johnny's "Sweet Love On My Mind" paved the way for latter-day revivalists like Dave & Deke, and The Five Chavis Brothers "Baby, Don't Leave Me" seem to presage the Kingsmen and other 1960s Northwest powerhouses.

Throughout, the guitars ring with the authority and bravado that moved Rockabilly past its roots. The comfort with which both fingerpicking and electric flatpicking fit the genre is an indication of its two musical roots. Though not the wildest side on this set, country legend Webb Pierce's "Teenage Boogie" shows how short a leap it was from hard-driving country-boogie to rockabilly. Roy Hall's tracks are reminiscent of Bill Haley & The Comets, including a looser R&B-influenced cover of "See You Later Alligator," and an early version of "Whole Lotta Shakin' Goin' On" that takes it down-low, rather than barn-burning.

Child prodigy guitarist Jerry Kennedy, who'd go on to a successful career as a record industry executive, shows himself to be a fine rockabilly vocalist on "Teenage Love is Misery," and Roy Orbison's original rhythm guitarist, Peanuts Wilson, cut the truly peculiar "Cast Iron Arm," penned by Orbison and producer Norman Petty.

Those looking for an introduction to rockabilly might want to start with the hits (that is, not this series of compilations), but anyone looking to explore the breadth and depth of the sound will find this a terrific anthology.

4 out of 5 stars Decca version.......2002-03-02

Each release of the That'll Flat Git Series focuses on a particular label. This release it's Decca, who had some pretty good talent. Johnny Carroll and Roy Hall have the strongest cuts, but Don Woody tested my patience each time a song of his came up (they're filled with painfully bad puns). Many of these songs have a Sun Records flavor to them, especially the Carroll tracks. I think my favorite is the Five Chavis Brothers "Baby Don't Leave Me." Most of the songs have a strong-country feel to them.

In case you don't know, the Bear Family goes all out with liner notes and audio quality. This isn't close to being one of my favorites of the series, but I still like it. Grade: B.

      5 out of 5 stars Shake It Up Baby!.......2005-07-12

      The first cd of this fabulous rockabilly series That'll Flat Git It.
      The cd starts with wild Joe Clay's Sixteen Chicks, who recorded only ten songs of which two are featured here (the other one is Rudy Grayzell's Duck Tail), David Houston became famous in the sixties with Billy Sherrill's Almost Persuaded is here featured with two tracks Sugar Sweet and One And Only. Janis Martin aka Female Elvis was the only real rockabilly chick beside Laura Lee Perkins and Wanda Jackson. Here you can hear her own composition Drugstore Rock 'n' Roll and Barefoot Baby. Dick Glasser is more famour as a composer, but he is good as a singer too. Catty Town is a nice number. Don't Bug Me Baby was a huge hit for Cliff Richard in the fifties, but Milton Allen's version is wilder and better. New Shoes of Lee Denson is an obvious ripoff of Blue Suede Shoes. Jimmy Dell's I've Got A Dollar is another wild and raw rockabilly.
      A must for rockabilly fans!

      5 out of 5 stars Only the best rockabilly music.......2003-04-13

      "That'll Flat, Git It" is one of the best compilations of the 1950's rockabilly. Each volume (19 in total) 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.
      The first volume was originally released on Bear Family in 1993, and featured Joe Clay, Ric Cartey, Joey Castle and even Pee Wee King. Other artists are more or less unknown.
      A good start for anyone who wants to know more about 1950's pure rockabilly.

      5 out of 5 stars Rock-A-Billy Rocks.......2007-05-02

      Another great Bear Family Rock-A-Billy album. I have all but about two off these albums and have only been disapionted in one of them. The liner notes are great, the pictures and stories behind the artists is like a musical history Lesson. This album has 37 songs on it and is well worth the extra money.

      5 out of 5 stars Rock an Roll The early years .......2007-03-31

      This is a fantastic album. Like all the Bear Family albums it's a little spendy, but the liner notes and the number of songs on the album more than offset the extra cost. This is Classic early Rock-an-Roll. If you're a rock-a-billy fan you'll love it. Not the typical sun, Elvis, Carl, Jerry Lee and Cash, but the others that helped form the early days. Even a track by Harold Jenkins....AKA Conway Twitty.

          Album Description

          It was inevitable that Bear Family's definitive rockabilly series, THAT'LL FLAT GIT IT, would turn its attention to Columbia Records before it ended. There will eventually be FOUR volumes devoted to the Columbia, and the first two are available now. With a strong presence in Nashville and Dallas, Columbia was a label of untold rockabilly riches…some documented on other CDs, and some revealed here for the first time on Bear Family. The artists include CARL PERKINS, RONNIE SELF, THE COLLINS KIDS, JOHNNY HORTON, LEFTY FRIZZELL, THE MADDOX BROTHERS & ROSE, and MARTY ROBBINS, as well as great unknowns like JIMMY MURPHY, ONIE WHEELER, CLIFF JOHNSON, BILLY BROWN, and many others. The CDs are full with the shaking music newly transferred and remastered for incredible sound, and the booklets are full to the brim with detailed notes based on first-person accounts and previously unpublished photos.

          5 out of 5 stars Hot Rockabilly!.......2005-07-11

          This compilation is one of the hottest from this series. It represents Decca'a hottest rockabilly. The rockiest performer here it is of course Johnny Carroll, whose Hot Rock, Wild Wild Women, Crazy Crazy Lovin', Corrine Corrina and Trying To Get To You are already rockabilly classics. Sweet Love On My Mind is another rockabilly classic mostly known by Johnny Burnette And His Rock 'n' Roll Trio here performed by Jimmy And Johnny.
          Eddie Fontaine is known by his hit Nothin' Shakin' (covered by The Beatles). Here you can hear a hot rocker Cool It Baby. Ten Little Women of Terry Noland is a song that The Blue Cats before they were named The Blue Cats covered. Roy Hall is another legendary rockabilly or maybe more boogie woogie piano player, here featured with five numbers (Diggin' The Boogie, Off-Beat Boogie, Whole Lotta Shakin' Goin' On, Bill Haley's See You Later Alligator and Three Alley Cats). Don Woody is another treasure and is known only to really die hard rockabilly fans.
          You gotta have this

          5 out of 5 stars killer stuff.......2003-11-25

          You can't really go wrong with any of the collections in this series. But Vol. 2 stands out. It's just killer track after killer track. Perhaps we can thank Grady Martin for it. He was the bandleader and lead guitarist on most of these sessions, which were recorded for Decca during the brief period when all the record labels were trying to cash in on the rockabilly craze.

          5 out of 5 stars Essential for any fan of Rockabilly............2002-04-16

          Drop this platter in the disc player and you're sure to wear out your boppin shoes. This CD features one of Rockabilly's wildest ever, Johnny Carroll. What can I say about Johnny? Frantic, nervous, surely kept the girls on the edge of their seats (if not tearin his threads off). The CD also contains a whole slew of other Decca gems re-issued in all their original glory. The lyrics are typical rockabilly fare. In other words if you are looking for meaningful social commentary, you're in the wrong bloody place. Don Woody? "Barking up the Wrong Tree" and "Bird Dog" are a couple of the best boppers around! ARF ARF!!!!

          4 out of 5 stars Rare original rockabilly sides.......2002-03-06

          Given the meteoric rise and short original lifespan of Rockabilly, one might be tempted to consider it a passing fancy. But given the deep roots it shared in both hillbilly and rhythm 'n' blues, and the lasting impact it would have on rock 'n' roll, the explosion of sound in the mid-to-late-50s is seen to be a whole more than an industry-fueled fad. Bear Family's seemingly endless "That's Flat... Git It" series chronicles the scads of lesser known artists and rare sides that were the ice berg of music holding up the tip that appeared on the charts via Elvis, Carl Perkins and others.

          Volume 2 focuses on sides waxed for Decca in the U.S. The label's country A&R chief, Paul Cohen, ran both country roster artists and new finds through a single or two, cutting them loose if they didn't hit (and losing Buddy Holly in the process!). Most of the sessions were arranged and produced by legendary studio guitarist Grady Martin (whose acoustic lead was famously featured on Marty Robbins' "El Paso"), and recorded in Owen Bradley's studio, with Bradley often playing piano.

          Bear Family selected thirty tracks (all in glorious mono) previously anthologized on a four-volume UK anthology, and added Bill Millar's exquisitely detailed notes and discographical information. The highlights are numerous, including Don Woody's hiccuping (and barking) "You're Barking Up the Wrong Tree" (how could the Cramps not have covered this?!), and Autry Inman's jivey "Be Bop Baby" (not to be confused with Ricky Nelson's like-named song). Jimmy & Johnny's "Sweet Love On My Mind" paved the way for latter-day revivalists like Dave & Deke, and The Five Chavis Brothers "Baby, Don't Leave Me" seem to presage the Kingsmen and other 1960s Northwest powerhouses.

          Throughout, the guitars ring with the authority and bravado that moved Rockabilly past its roots. The comfort with which both fingerpicking and electric flatpicking fit the genre is an indication of its two musical roots. Though not the wildest side on this set, country legend Webb Pierce's "Teenage Boogie" shows how short a leap it was from hard-driving country-boogie to rockabilly. Roy Hall's tracks are reminiscent of Bill Haley & The Comets, including a looser R&B-influenced cover of "See You Later Alligator," and an early version of "Whole Lotta Shakin' Goin' On" that takes it down-low, rather than barn-burning.

          Child prodigy guitarist Jerry Kennedy, who'd go on to a successful career as a record industry executive, shows himself to be a fine rockabilly vocalist on "Teenage Love is Misery," and Roy Orbison's original rhythm guitarist, Peanuts Wilson, cut the truly peculiar "Cast Iron Arm," penned by Orbison and producer Norman Petty.

          Those looking for an introduction to rockabilly might want to start with the hits (that is, not this series of compilations), but anyone looking to explore the breadth and depth of the sound will find this a terrific anthology.

          4 out of 5 stars Decca version.......2002-03-02

          Each release of the That'll Flat Git Series focuses on a particular label. This release it's Decca, who had some pretty good talent. Johnny Carroll and Roy Hall have the strongest cuts, but Don Woody tested my patience each time a song of his came up (they're filled with painfully bad puns). Many of these songs have a Sun Records flavor to them, especially the Carroll tracks. I think my favorite is the Five Chavis Brothers "Baby Don't Leave Me." Most of the songs have a strong-country feel to them.

          In case you don't know, the Bear Family goes all out with liner notes and audio quality. This isn't close to being one of my favorites of the series, but I still like it. Grade: B.
