Gravy Train

When retracing the confluence of black and white music of the 20th century, especially the marriage of a country performer with an R&B beat, the popular opinion is that it started with Elvis and rockabilly. The relationship, of course, extends back much further than that, and this collection offers a couple of dozen examples of hillbilly boys jumpin' the blues in the decade preceding the rock 'n' roll revolution. Are you ready for the Honky-Tonk Blues?"
