ROCK 'N' ROLL & ROCKABILLY
Various
Artists Collections - Buffalo Bop Label - Part 1
| INTRODUCTION: The German Buffalo
Bop label has been reissuing rare and obscure rockabilly and rock 'n'
roll since the 70s - starting with LPs and switching over to CDs in the
early 90s. Buffalo Bop CDs usually have 30 tracks of rockabilly and rock
'n' roll from the 50s and early 60s - often very rare sides. Many of the
issues have a subject or stylistic theme (juvenile delinquents, hot
rods, trains, women singers, instrumentals, etc.). The tracks are mostly
mastered from 45s and the sound quality is generally excellent -
particularly on the later issues. Each CD comes with a booklet with a
cover painting evocative of the music within and artist photos and label
shots inside. With so many reissues available there are inevitably some
duplications with other reissues but nevertheless there is a ton of
great music available on these CDs not available elsewhere. |

Bad Boy |
● CD $18.98 |
30 tracks, 65 minutes, recommended. This one collects
rockers that have hoods, JD's and general rowdiness as their theme.
Actually, the first 6 tunes are a stretch with only I'm Lost really
fitting in, but since they're all by the rowdy sounding Mickey Hawks &
the Night Raiders who can quibble. There are some obvious picks like J.
Ford's fantastic Don't Hang Around Much Anymore , Bobby Lollar's Bad
Bad Boy , Jimmy Patton's Oakie's In The Pokie and Portuguese
Joe's Teenage Riot but there are also some you don't see compiled
very often if ever. There's Bad Boy by Steve France, originally on
Renown, the shakin' Red Hot Mama by Wayne Williams, Willie Was A
Bad Boy by Ray Gentry, the wonderful Curfew by Chuck &
Gene, the Diddley tune Bad as done by John Amory, swamp popster Rod
Bernard's All Night In Jail and the truly awesome Take It Easy,
Greasy by Bill Lehmann, where the guitar and sax spiral up and
outahere. Lots more plus a cool color cover on the photo packed booklet. (AE)

Cool & Crazy |
● CD $18.98 |
30 tracks, 68 minutes, recommended. There were lots of
rockabilly tunes with the word "cool" in the title and a fair
amount have found their way onto this compilation - Bill Sherrell's Kool
Kat , Joe Montgomery's Cool Cat , Lafayette Yarborough's Cool
Cool Baby , Lee Cole's Cool Baby , Jimmy Huttons Cool Cats
, Vern Edwards' Cool, Baby, Cool and the Vi-Kings' She's Cool
are all certainly cool rockers and worth many a spin. As far as
"crazy" goes only a few of the remainder fall into that slot - Pizza
Pie by Phil Irwin, Woodpecker Rock by Nat Coulty and Minus
One- Blast Off by the Sonics. You won't have any qualms with the rest
of the tunes though, they're almost all hot boppers by Bill Sherrell, the
Van Brothers, Jerry Coulston, Art Adams, etc. (AE)

Date Bait |
● CD $18.98 |
30 tracks, 65 min, recommended The series continues with 30
more teenage rockers. Ron Haydock kicks it off with a real knockout 99
Chicks, and then Rudy Preston shows us what the real 50's blast is all
about on his guitar break from Four Tired Car. But the real
standouts here are two by Lou Millet; his most unusual Shorty The
Barber, 'bout the man who makes the scissors and comb sound like a
saxophone, and Slip Slip Slippin' In, about comin' home late, are
both great hillbilly rockers along the lines of the
Country Hicks Lp. And there's more country from Tennessee Thompson on Slippin'
& Slidin'/Saturday Ball. Jerry Clayton's Date Bait doesn't
ignite like you'd expect from the title track, but it's drown in enough
echo to make it sound good. Great pics as usual. A worthy addition to the
series, but aside from the Millet single, not a standout. (GDR)

Hang Loose |
● CD $18.98 |
30 tracks, 65 minutes, good. This selection is obscure by
anyone's standards. There are a few classics (or near classics) here like
Don Terry's Knees Shaking , Lloyd Arnold's Hang Out and
Norman Witcher's Wake Me Up but many of these will probably appeal
only to rockabilly collectors. Don't be entirely put off though because
there are still plenty of good ones to get you goin' like fabulous two-sider
from the Talley label by George Weston - Hold Still Baby/ I Need You
Baby , Earl Reed's rowdy Mama , Lee Mitchell's double-header Rootie
Tootie Baby/ Who's That Big Man , etc. All of these Buffalo Bop CD's
come with photo-filled booklets and great JD color covers....

30 tracks, 66 min., recommended Buffalo Bop continues its
assault on the digital age with these 30 great slabs of hard rockin'. The
standouts here are Reggie Perkins whompin' High School Caesar, Bob
Callaway's What's the Matter With Me and some cool death rock,
50's-style, in the form of The Raiders' Hocus Pocus. Solid to great
throughout, plus the usual choice pics of our heroes. The pick of the

Hobo Bop |
● CD $18.98 |
30 minutes, 71 minutes, recommended. There was an LP release
some years back with this same title and cover gathering up a bunch of
train songs. This CD expands on that with a boxcar full of chuggin' and
steamin' rockers. Tommy Nelson's title tune (another Dixie record) is
first out of the station and a worthy starter too. Jim Foley's Goodbye
Train is suitably mournful with nice vocals and guitar. I've always
felt that Vernon Taylor's version of Mystery Train (Sun 325) was
marred by that yakety sax, Johnny Waleen's version here is much better.
Franklin Stewart's That Long Black Train rolls along just fine and
Gene Norman's Long Gone Train features some hot pickin'. Hank
Spurling's Box Car Blues is one of the earliest recordings here and
serves as a transition between the long C&W tradition and the
rockabilly continuation. Midnight Express by Tremain's Thunderbirds
was an interesting primitive instrumental originally released on the
Swastika label, which fortunately had a change of heart and nomenclature
to Cuca. Yeah, there's lots of history here and nostalgia too. Nobody's
baby leaves on a train anymore. (AE)

31 tracks, 73 minutes, recommended. Another hot volume of

of those bad 50s horror movies & even more, on those 50s/ 60s horror
novelties (how many of these would have been done if Monster Mash
& Stranded In the Jungle weren't hits?). There's a bunch of
bona fide classics including Kip Taylor's Jungle Hop & The
Revels's Midnight Stroll & lot more in between, even some by
name artists, Bobby Bare - Vampira, Ben Colder - Shudders &
Screams plus tons more including Tommy King - Bo Diddley In The

classic Girl And A Hot Rod , Jimmy Carroll's pounder Big Green

Juvenile Jungle |
● CD $18.98 |
30 tracks, 69 min, highly recommended This hot-rockin'
series continues with yet another excellent installment. The opener is
both sides of Tony Casanovas' great 45 Showdown/Boogie Woogie Feeling,
and from there there's really no letting up. Jeff Daniels introduces us to
Switch Blade Sam, Ronnie Allen's proud to be a Juvenile
Delinquent, while Ray Smith likes to get Gone Baby Gone. Rex
Hale turns in a couple of rockin' hillbilly numbers Down At Big Mama's
House/Darn Dem Bones, but get a load of c-r-a-z-y Herbie Duncan's two
gems Escape/Hot Lips Baby. And when the Royal Notes invite you over
for some soda pop in Come-To-My-House-Rock, I doubt that's all they
have in mind. Whoa. Great as usual. (GDR)

Mean Mean Daddy |
● CD $18.98 |
30 tracsk, 68 mins, highly recommended Those Buffalo Bop
folks seem to really know how to pick 'em with yet another terrific
collection of extremely hot and extremely rare rockabilly and rockin'
country. As always, most of the artists only recorded a handful of songs
for small local labels and the only names here that I recognize are Bill
Browning, Ben Hall and Curley Griffin. Among the highlights here are the
hot opener I'm A Mean Mean Daddy by Paul Carnes, Haskell May's
funny Party Line, Bo Baxter's weird Flea Circus (how many
songs have you heard where the spurned lover is going to join a flea
circus?!), Danny Darren's sensational acoustic reworking of Hank Williams'
Fool About You and others by Jerald Boykin, Glen Cooper, Johnny
Dove, Bill Cox, The Hodges Brothers and others. No saxes and very few
pianos on these tracks but just about every song has a hot guitar solo.
What are you waiting for? (FS)

Monster Bop |
● CD $18.98 |
30 tracks, 69 minutes, essential. This concept has been done
several times before but never to this extent. There are 30
"monster" tunes here - enough to raise the short hairs on a
corpse. What better way to start than Jackie Morningstar's Rockin' In
The Graveyard , a super cool lyrics, pile-driver beat and savage
guitar. Almost as great is The Cat by Rod Willis. One approach to
monster tunes is the "roll call" of monsters like on Jack &
Jim's Midnight Monsters Hop , Jimmy Dee's The Monster Hop ,
the Daylighters' Mad House Jump and many others. Another approach
is the "top billing" method as heard on Joe Johnson's The
Gila Monster , Joe Wallace's Leopard Man , Carl Bonafede's Werewolf
, Round Robin's I'm The Wolf Man and more Frankenstein tunes than
you can shake a flaming torch at. (AE)

● CD $18.98 |
31 tracks, 64 minutes, recommended. The original concept of
collecting similar tunes together is getting might arbitrary but with a
hot selection like this I wouldn't complain too much. There are a few
motorcycle songs though like She's A Bad Motorcycle by the
Crestones, Motorcycle by Tico & the Triumphs (featuring a young
Paul Simon) and Dave Diddle Day's Motorcycle Mike . Four-wheel fun
includes Dennis Penna's Battle Of The Duals and Johnny Roane's Drag
Strip Baby . There are lots of rockin' classics here, most prominently
Dwight Pullen's Teenage Bug & Sunglasses After Dark ,
Myron Lee's Homecide , Terry Daly's You Don't Bug Me ,
Norman Witcher's Somebody's Been Rocking My Boat , etc. A strong
collection for sure. (AE)

30 tracks, 68 mins, recommended After nearly 100 CDs Buffalo
Bop continues to turn up a whole lot of high quality rock 'n' roll
obscurities from the 50s. No real classics here but no duds either. I
particularly like 38 Slug by the Three Clicks based on an old blues
theme and how can you not love a song about a dance called The Albino
Bat (The Regents) or a bad guy called Joe Botch (Chuck Barr
& The Playboys). The title songs by Carla Canida is also a winner with
some fine guitar and piano pounding. Other goodies from The Swingin'

● CD $18.98 |
| Another crème de la crème collection from Buffalo Bop. As
with the previous CD's they've mixed in some rare items as well as the
popular tunes from the LP series. I've never come across, on reissue LP, Tough'n
Rough by Saladin, Rock'n Roll Saddles by Johnny Edwards, Is
That Wrong by the Wynnewoods or Where's My Baby by Ethan Giant
- all decent to good rockers. There are a few others that might also be
new to the reissue scene, but I can't put my finger on them. Old faves
include classics like Carl Cherry's The Itch , Son | |
