Title

A Bear Family compilation of Mac Curtis material is long overdue and this comp brings the rockinest material spanning all labels that featured Mac as a rockabilly artist. Mac Curtis, alongside Ray Campi – and to some degree Charlie Feathers, initiated, nurtured, and prototyped the European rockabilly revival that, in turn, helped save rockabilly from oblivion and re-kindle interest back in the US. If you want rockabilly in its purest form, your slap bass slapped un-compromisingly, and to be young, wild, and free again, buy this record! This compilation brings you his greatest ‘50s boppers from the King label alongside his wildest stuff recorded for Ronny Weiser's Rollin' Rock label. Bear Family Records licensed three tracks from Mac's rare 1998 Vinyl Japan release with Welsh rockers The Rimshots as a special bonus. And that ain't all: rockabilly legend John Lewis, who was instrumental in recording Mac Curtis after their mutual tour in 1998, sums up this rocking extravaganza with his tribute song Flat Top Cat.
