Moon Mullican
Archive: Listening
By rights, Moon Mullican should be a legend twice over, in country music and rock & roll. He merged them bothas well as blues, pop, and honky tonkinto a seamless whole ?
From Bruce Eder?s entry on Moon Mullican in All Music Guide.
I discovered Mullican?s Moonshine Jamboree a few years ago when I was exploring rockabilly. Having the cash to by CDs again for the first time in a few year?s it was a joy to see Ace had put out a new collection entitled Seven Nights to Rock.
Mullican was a past master of hillbilly boogie somewhere in the borderland between rockabilly and western swing. Some of his boogie-woogie piano playing anticipates Jerry Lee Lewis. Given Henry Glover?s production and King records topnotch studio personnel you have a rollicking CD that can?t fail to please fans of rockabilly, proto-rock or whatever you want to call it.
How could you not want to hear a song called Grandpa Stole My Baby?

Disagreement is fine but hate speech won't be tolerated. Even if you share my prejudices I'd rather you not insult other people who leave comments here.
