Back in the Day, 1979
Ray Campi
Rockabilly Rebellion
(Rollin' Rock)
Each time you drop a needle on gone wax, remember that Ray and Rollin' Rock's Ronny Weiser were very much among 1970s (and beyond) Rockabilly Rebels whose indefatigable toils helped the wildcat sound rise again. Since his 1950s Texas ramblings, Ray bore feral witness to homestyle Country's prominence in the glorious Red White and Blue story - often with hot-rodded, handerchief-waving abandon that dug the cool things possible when Sol sinks. Tracks compiled on this platter are good-time, good-humored evidence that the bar on the corner of Sunset, where Country and Rockabilly met up and shook hands, was one fractured destination. Indie label-maven Rockin' Ronny and the King of Rockabilly threw hellacious Van Nuys bashes - ones we still can and should dig.
