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!
