Juke Joint Johnny CD

Juke Joint Johnny is the first comprehensive summary of the early recordings of Red Sovine with the emphasis on his faster Honky Tonk, Hillbilly Boogie and Rockabilly-style recordings.
This collection is loaded with rarities that have been unavailable for many years - since their original publication in the 1950s.
The accompanying booklet includes a detailed career biography.
Early success came for Red Sovine when he joined the Louisiana Hayride in place of Hank Williams.
He later followed Williams to Nashville, the Grand Ole Opry and MGM Records.
This link summarizes his best early titles for MGM and Decca - fast honky tonk, hillbilly boogie and rockabilly-like songs.
Together with his early rockabilly classics, You're Barking Up The Wrong Tree Now is of particular interest, as it is a composition by Hank Williams and Fred Rose.
Here are 31 great songs, prime Hillbilly and Rockabilly music dating from 1949 to 1961, mostly never reissued on CD before, making this collection a revelation for vintage Country and Rockabilly fans.
