SALES NOTES

In 1999, Bear Family released a compilation of obscure rockers from the great southwest titled 'Rockin' And Boppin' In the Desert - Arizona Rockabilly Vol. 1'. Due to the popularity of that album, Bear Family returned to the dusty boxes and shelves for this second volume. And it's even better than the first! The compilation includes ultra-obscure singles, many coining big bucks when and if they turn up for sale, plus six hot unreleased tunes. A few of these desert discs actually saw light on national labels but most are from obscure small Arizona label imprints. Altogether, there are 30 more jumping and thumping tracks of Arizona musical history from 1955-1965.

Several performers from Vol. 1 return for an encore here including Jimmy Dell, Gene Maltais, Jimmy Johnson, Lonesome Long John Roller, Rusty Isabell, and guitar greats Al Casey and Don Cole of course. Also featured are early tracks by Skip & Flip as The Pledges, writer/producer George Richey, western favorite Rex Allen and teen throb Curtis Lee. Buddy Holly fans will appreciate the previously unreleased track by one of the Crickets, Niki Sullivan, and a great rockin' version of Rave On by Waylon Jennings, both with that special Holly sound.

As always the sound, pictures, notes and deluxe packaging are up to Bear Family's usual high quality.
