Cat. No. STCD 38: RAMSEY KEARNEY ~ ROCK THE BOP. STOMPER TIME STCD 38. (IMPORT).
THE STORY OF RAMSEY KEARNEY IS MUCH THE SAME AS MANY OTHER ROCK’N’ROLL / ROCKABILLY ARTISTS. GROWING UP ON FARM, LISTENING TO COUNTRY MUSIC ON THE RADIO, LEARNING TO PLAY GUITAR AT A VERY EARLY AGE, HAVING A RADIO SHOW AT A YOUNG AGE AS HE FINE-TUNED HIS TALENTS. THE DIFFERENCE WITH RAMSEY WAS THAT HE DIDN’T ASPIRE TO BE A BIG STAR. IN 1953 HE STARTED A SONG DEMO COMPANY, WHEREBY SONG-WRITERS COULD HAVE THEIR SONGS RECORDED BY RAMSEY AND HIS SESSION MEN FOR A FIXED FEE. THIS CONTINUED UNTIL 1989 AND IN THAT PERIOD HE LITERALLY RECORDED THOUSANDS OF SONGS. HE WAS ALSO AN ASTUTE SONG WRITER HIMSELF AND MANY OF HIS SONGS ARE INCLUDED HERE FOR THE FIRST TIME. GREAT ROCKABILLY *****
