Rockabilly from Hell  2 CD

40 Hell- Raising Classics on 2 CDs

Most of us love to be scared and back in the 1950s, horror and the rock and roll beat was an irresistible combination. Bands took their names from the fiendish creatures up on the big screen and their inspiration from what was going on in the films themselves. Vampires, lycanthropes, zombies, demons had the kids literally jumping out of their seats in fear and were of course perfect subject matter for songs. Here is a selection of primal, raw, often humorous numbers from the first time around, now all consigned to rockabilly hell that deserve to be re-heard and rediscovered. They won't just have your toes a-tapping, they'll also make your knees go weak and send a tingle right down your backbone!
