Got Them Hillbilly Blues
Various Artists
©El Toro Records 2009

While it is not often documented, it stands to reason that of all the many black artists who were influenced by country music radio in their childhood, a percentage would grow into maturity with a real feeling for hillbilly music and incorporate the style it into their own musical heritage, just as the white rockabillies introduced an urban blues element into their country music.

This album has been compiled to showcase this inverted spin on the conception of rockabilly - got them Hill Billy Blues?
