Gonna Shake This Shack Tonight: Hi-tone Poppa on CD

Country Music Hall of Fame singer Faron Young had a long career, from Hank Williams style sound-a-likes on his first records in the early 1950s, to crooning country pop ballads in the 1960s and 1970s. Although the commercially minded Faron probably would object, his finest recordings are his country boogie songs from the mid 1950s, including 'Live Fast, Love Hard, Die Young', 'I've Got Five Dollars And It's Saturday Night', and 'I'm Gonna Live Some Before I Die'. All are included here on this compilation of his most up-tempo recordings, from the superb country boogie tunes mentioned above, to his rockabilly recordings from the late '50s and great country shuffles from the late '50s and early '60s. You'll hear everything from his first hit Goin' Steady on up to his biggest hit Hello Walls, and everything in between, with an emphasis on the fast, rocking and harder edged songs - so if you want a Faron collection that omits the country weepers and gets right down to Honky Tonkin', this is the one for you!
