That'll Flat... Git It - Vol. 06 tot Vol.16

That'll Flat... Git It is een serie van Bear Family. 
Het zijn in totaal 27 CD's vol met Rockabilly - 50`s - 60`s muziek.

In deze post zitten 11 CD's van Vol.6 tot en met Vol.16


That'll Flat Git It, Vol. 6 is the second time Bear Family dipped into the vaults of Decca Records to assemble a collection of rare and arcane rockabilly (the first was Vol. 2), and while the results aren't quite as consistently entertaining as its predecessor, Vol. 6 is nevertheless one of the finest installments of the series. The key to its success is how the bizarre backwoods rockers are juxtaposed with country singers like Red Foley, Justin Tubb, Rex Allen, and Red Sovine trying to ride the rockabilly wave. Not all of the songs are strong, but the best -- Billy Harlan's "School House Rock," Lou Graham's "Wee Willie Brown," James Gallagher's "Crazy Chicken," Warner Mack's "Roc-A-Chicka," Eddie Fontaine's "One and Only," Billy Gray's "Tennessee Toddy," Baker Knight & Knightmares' "Bring My Cadillac Back," the Rockin' Saints' "Cheat On Me Baby" and Jerry Engler's "Sputnik (Satellite Girl)" -- are pure fun.

With a 27-CD box set series chronicling every single ever issued by Sam Phillips, it would seem that an entry into Bear Family's label retrospective would seem unwarranted, but this volume adds some wild and very rare performances to the list, extending the history of Sun Records even further into sainthood. What we have aboard are alternate takes of rare singles (a blistering take of Ray Harris' "Come on Little Mama," Johnny Powers' "Waitin' for You," a laid-back take of Malcolm Yelvington's "Rockin' with My Baby," Gene Simmons' "Drinkin' Scotch," both sides of Kenny Parchman's canceled Sun single), alternates of unissued material (Jimmy Wages' "Mad Man," Sonny Burgess' "Ain't Gonna Do It," Tommy Blake's "You Better Believe It"), unissued sides that should have been singles (Jimmy Haggett's "Rabbit Action," Barbara Pittman's "Sentimental Fool," Warren Smith's "Stop the World," Narvel Felts' "Cry, Baby, Cry" Harold Jenkins [Conway Twitty] doing "I Need Your Lovin' Kiss"), and four superb tracks from as many unidentified artists, making this a collection of Sun rarities well worth tracking down.
