CD ReviewsAnother night in with the Boogie Box GameraGal | Sydney | 09/29/2006 (5 out of 5 stars) "Given the option, would I prefer to get a boyfriend...or another Proper Box Set? High quality, reliable, consistant, great price, nice to look at AND listen to, the PBS wins hands down. And beyond that, Hillbilly Boogie is just about my all-time fave. You'll prefer some tracks, but the amazing thing about this 4CD set is that at no stage will you need to rush over and hit the FFWD button (despite it being such a large compilation selected by some complete stranger). All tracks are upbeat with no soppy ballady crud...great for bopping. If you're coming to this through a love of 1950s rockabilly or rock 'n' roll, or some teddy boy crush on Tennessee Ernie Ford...you will not be disappointed. Step back a few years (recordings are mainly from 1946-1951, with a couple earlier) and see these genres at sapling stage. The sound quality is perfect...not noisy, but retaining that raw old sound. You'll fall in love!" The Evolution Of Western Swing HardyBoys.us | Long Island USA | 07/04/2005 (5 out of 5 stars) "This excellent box set from Proper contains some of the best "country" boogie you'll ever hear. This set clearly demonstrates the evolution of Western Swing into what would later be called Rockabilly. These are the original recordings and while most of them sound great, there is some distortion on several tracks. Don't let the fact you never heard of most of these artists or songs deter you from buying this set - it's toe-tapping boogie at its best!" Hillbilly Music W. R. Muhr | Tucson,AZ | 01/15/2007 (5 out of 5 stars) "Old time country boogie and the beginnings of country rock music are both still good as well as being nostalgic. The performers were at the top of their game and without the improved technology of today were still able to provide excellent sound and enthusiasm. Very listenable."
