Customer Reviews

More Hillbilly Than Rockabilly
"From Boppin Hillbilly to Red Hot Rockabilly" offers up four CDs jam-packed with bopping hillbilly music but, unfortunately, very little in the way of rockabilly.
If you're a fan of the boppin' hillbilly genre this is a great find but fans looking for early rockabilly will be disappointed.
The sound quality is first rate and there is a nice liner notes booklet.
As with all sets by Proper, this set offers a tremendous value for the money.

Boppin' Rockin' Hoppin'
This is a great box set. Like so many of the Proper sets offers lots of informative info into the music and the artisit. If you like Boogie Woogie Swingin' Hoppin' Country that provided alot of rock-a-billy sounds you'll love this set. If you're looking for hard core 60's rock-a-billy it's not here. A great set, well worth the money. Glad I bought it!

Red Hot & Rockin'
This is a superb collection of spectacular and sometimes downright bizarre rockabilly! A great place to begin for one not very familiar with this genre.
