Album DescriptionUnlike most rock 'n' rollers, Ricky Nelson was already a star when he made his first record in 1957, but his records were so great that they became hits in Europe and elsewhere in the world where the sit-com wasn't shown. Ricky also assembled one of the all-time great rockabilly bands, including guitarist James Burton, and he scored hit after hit between 1957 and 1964. The most rockin' of those hits are here...together with rare LP tracks that show where Ricky Nelson's heart truly lay. Ricky's career ended as it began it ... with rockabilly. This is the story of Ricky Nelson the rocker. And because it's on Bear Family, the sound is from freshly transferred first-generation tapes and it's mastered to the highest standards. Also look for rare and unpublished photos and a full-length essay. Includes a 44 page booklet.
