| | Rootin' Around #34 (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-09-30) |
 | | This 20-track collection of late '40s country boogie and proto-randb hillbilly stomp showcases a bewildering array of stars (Lefty Frizzell, Johnny Bond, Spade Cooley, Bob Wills, Little Jimmy Dickens) and no-names (Johnny Hicks and His Country Hicks, Curley Williams and His Georgia Peach Pickers) associated with Columbia and its sister labels. |
 | | Selected by sociologists in the mid-'50s as the country star most likely to replace Howdy Doody in the event of a nuclear disaster, Tubb sported a big, yelping voice and a leering fondness for teenage rockabilly alongside a set of Dumbo-worthy ears and an oh-so-fine country pedigree (his daddy was The Texas Troubador, Ernest Tubb). |
 | | Most of the releases reviewed in Rootin' Around can be found at your local roots-friendly record/CD store, in the ever-expanding CD section of our very own Rootin' Bookstore or online at Miles of Music, Roots 'n' Rhythm Mail Order, Rockhouse Music and Village Records. |
