Ronnie Self Rocks

His incredibly energetic rockabilly made Ronnie Self (1938 - 1981) from Missouri one of the very top artists of the genre! Rocks on Bear Family Records delivers not only his first big hit Pretty Bad Blues (1956) but 32 more fantastic rockers. Alongside smash hits like the immortal Bop-A-Lena, the album includes Big Blon' Baby, You're So Right For Me, Ain't I'm A Dog and Rocky Road Blues as well as some demos and recordings from the 1960s. In keeping with the Bear Family standard, we have invested time and care to generate the best possible sound from the best possible sources. Extensive liner notes by Bill Dahl, together with many photos and illustrations in the 36 page booklet, round off this project. Rocks is a wild trip for die-hard rockabilly fans and a highlight in our successful CD series.
