In reality, this 24-track anthology spans LaBeef's 1970-1979 tenure with Plantation and the reactivated Sun Records. The disc includes LaBeef's lone hit from this period, a cover of Frankie Miller's "Blackland Farmer" that inched onto the country charts in 1971. LaBeef's deep-voiced country efforts sound a bit like Dave Dudley, although, ironically, the resemblance is less pronounced on LaBeef's trucking song, "Asphalt Cowboy." The rockabilly cuts, taken from albums like 1977 Rockabilly and Down Home Rockabilly, don't attempt an "authentic" sound, but are nonetheless fun and rockin' performances that are thankfully untouched by dated production flourishes. All of these tracks are duplicated on Bear Family's six-disc box set Larger Than Life. ~ Greg Adams   Compilation Appearances Rockabilly Shakeout Rounder 25th Anniversary Box S Vol. 2-Mystery Train Labour Of Love-Music Of Nick L Roots Music-An American Journey Last Train To San Fernando:vol 3 Johnny's Blues-A Tribute To Johnny Hot Rod Rumble   Technical Info Release Date : 03/14/2006 Original Release Date : 1999 Catalog ID : 6017 Label : Collectables Records Number of Discs : 1 Runtime : 65m : 27s Studio/Live : Studio Mono/Stereo : Mixed SPAR Code : n/a UPC : 00090431601723   Professional Reviews Living Blues (5-6/99, p.103) - "...LaBeef's rumbling vocals and slashing lead guitar set these covers...ablaze like a dry tinderbox on a scorching day."    Product Image
