VA – The Best of Ace Rockabilly (Vinyl)

Keb Darge Presents The Best of Ace Rockabilly.

Legendary international DJ, Keb Darge, fell under the spell of this music when his Japanese girlfriend forced him to go down to a Rockabilly night back in 1989. As soon as the DJ dropped the needle on Johnny Burnettes Rockabilly Boogie Keb was mesmerized.

He was soon hunting down the hideously rare top tunes and slipping thousands of pounds into specialist collectors like Boz Boorers back pocket, when the legendary guitarist was not recording or touring with Morrissey. Of course, Keb was then taking these records and introducing them to new audiences in his DJ sets worldwide. Although it has taken an age to persuade him, Keb has now applied his perfectionist compiling skills to pick 14 killers to grace this fantastic collection.

Ranging from the bopping Glen Glenns Blue Jeans and A Boys Shirt to the almost hillbilly Jimmy Johnsons All Dressed Up. This is a must-have compilation not only for those who have been oiling their quiffs for decades, but also those wondering what this rockabilly is all about. Keb drops you in at the deep end with no easy-going fillers, and youll be glad he did.

Keb has written the sleeve notes and with cover art by the legendary Robin Banks this album looks as good as it sounds.
