ABOUT THE ALBUM


Although Billy Strange is perhaps best remembered as an integral member of The Wrecking Crew, his name synonymous with men like Phil Spector and Brian Wilson, there was more to him than his guitar-for-hire heroics of the 60s and 70s. An established recording artist in his own right, with a discography which stretched back to the early 1950s, he was also a highly regarded Country singer with a distinctive baritone voice and a bona-fidé Rockabilly legend, an inductee into the "Rockabilly Hall Of Fame". This compilation traces Billy's story from his early Hillbilly and Honky-Tonk recordings, through to his emergence in the early 60s in The Wrecking Crew. Disc One comprises virtually all his singles between 1952-62. Disc Two features a number of sessionman/sideman appearances, alongside a killer 45rpm issued under a pseudonym, and a pair of almost unfeasibly rare and collectable LPs, included herein in their entirety.
