Cliffie Stone

The legendary Capitol Records

double bassist and more!

(Atomicat)

One metric of Cliffie's talent can be ascertained by the company he kept; he lent his talents to a who's who of Capitol western-boogie exemplars. This was a foundation from which rockabilly jumped - a heated hillbilly beat that surely even touched the "lady with the alligaror purse."

Recommended: "Jump Rope Boogie," "Domino," "Dirty Dishes," "Tennessee Central (Number Nine)," "Roly Poly," "King Porter Stomp" (w/Merrill Moore), "Steel Guitar Rag" (w/Speedy West), "Bim Bam Baby" (w/Jeanne Gayle),  "I've Got Five Dollars and It's Saturday Night" (w/Tex Ritter), "Love Makes The World Go 'Round) (w/Tennessee Ernie Ford), "Boogie Woogie Cowboy" (w/Tex Ritter), "You're A Humdinger" (The Farmer Boys), "Hoot Owl Boogie" (w/Sheb Wooley), "Frettin' Fingers" (w/Jimmy Bryant), "I Don't Know" (w/Tennessee Ernie Ford), "Ridin' Down To Santa Fe" (w/Shug Fisher).
