Tracks list

Culled from the CBS vaults, Whistle Bait is a very good anthology of 25
rockabilly numbers -- or, if not quite rockabilly, tracks by country artists
veering close to rockabilly -- that for the most part will be unfamiliar to all
but the most dedicated rockabilly collectors. Sure, there are some stars and
cult faves here, like the Collins Kids, Link Wray, the post-Sun Carl Perkins,
the post-Sun Johnny Cash, and Ronnie Self, whose "Bop-A-Lena" (included here)
was one of the most certifiably insane rockers ever put out by a major label.
You also get a generous helping of country artists trying to board the
rockabilly wagon, and actually, they usually acquit themselves quite well. Don't
believe it? Listen to Lefty Frizzell's "You're Humbuggin' Me," Rose Maddox's
"Wild Wild Young Men," and Little Jimmy Dickens' "I Got a Hole in My Pocket" for
evidence. Then there are the cats you've never heard of that managed to put out
something quite hep, like Jaycee Hill on his 1956 single "Romp Stompin' Boogie."
Johnny Horton draws from the best of both honky tonk and rock & roll on his two
numbers, which are a far cry from the corny Americana that would land him big
pop hits at the end of the '50s. Although there's undeniable aesthetic purity in
collecting anthologies of crude rockabilly by no-hopers on some tiny label
operating out of a small Texas oil town, the truth is that this big company
vault-clearing exercise is way better than the average such rockabilly
collection. It may not be too popular to say so, but one of the reasons is that
major label production values usually delivered far better-sounding, tighter
performances and secured better material. Put this on your shopping list if you
want quality rare rockabilly.
