Billy 'Crash' Craddock
Boom Boom Billy - The Rock 'n' Roll Years CD
Long before his hugely successful career as a Country artist with a run of forty hits on the US Country charts, Billy 'Crash' Craddock was a teenage Rockabilly and Rock 'n' Roll star.
Between 1957-61 he cut around a dozen great 45s for a variety of labels, all of which have long since become sought-after collectors' rarities.
Several of these were US regional hits, and some were covered internationally, for example Adam Faith recorded Ah Poor Little Baby and Johnny Kidd covered I Want That in the UK.
In an unlikely turn of events he became a massive star in Australia during 1960-61, registering two No.1 records - Boom Boom Baby and One Last Kiss, along with another half-dozen Aussie hits.
This 29 track collection anthologizes Crash's early Rock 'n' Roll career from 1957 to 1961.
It features all of his Australian hits, a couple of which were never released in the USA.
Also includes a handful of other collectors' rarities which have never previously appeared on CD.
