Hawkshaw Hawkins - Car Hoppin' Mama-Gonna Shake This Shack Tonight

2008 release coinciding with the 45th Anniversary of this Country star's death. Once billed as 'eleven-and-a-half yards of personality,' Harold 'Hawkshaw' Hawkins was one of Country music's biggest stars during the late '40s through the '50s. His action-packed tent show was a top attraction across the American Southeast, and millions watched him on ABC-TV's Ozark Jubilee or listened to him over WSM's Grand Ole Opry. This single-disc collection skims the cream of Hawkins' King and RCA Victor recordings, focusing on Blues, Country Boogies and uptempo Honky Tonk songs. 33 tracks. Bear Family.
