Gonna Shake This Shack Tonight: Ugly and Slouchy

by The Maddox Brothers & Rose

Overview

Call it hillbilly, Western swing, or rockabilly, the music the Maddox Brothers and Rose made was typically exuberant, raucous, and one of the main ingredients of 1950s rock & roll. This collection, part of Bear Family Records' Gonna Shake This Shack Tonight series of early rockabilly music, shows the Californian family at its most outgoing, with hot soloing, boisterous comments from the players, and a seemingly inexhaustible supply of wildly entertaining and rocking songs, including "Looky There Over There," "Kiss Me Quick and Go," and "A Short Life and Its Troubles," all of which carry the Maddox family stamp of energetic performances and unbridled, infectious enthusiasm.
