Raw sounds from the American underground – a great set of twang-heavy tracks from obscure 45s – most of them with a unique blend of rock and country styles! There's lots of the spirit here of JohnnyBurnette – and a few artists actually seem to pay him tribute with their work – but most of the recordings have a rougher style too, with some especially great echoey production on the guitars! Titles include "Willie Joe" by Mystery Trio, "Dark Mood" by Bartlett Brothers & The Country Paupers, "Still As The Night" by Clint Blacklaw, "Kentucky Fandango" by JP Dunn, "Misery" by Jacky Lee, "A Woman's Mind" by Jimmy Merrill, "Ghost Train" by Electro Tones, and "If You Love Me" by Johnny Fortune. LP, Vinyl record album
The weirder side of the western music spectrum in the postwar years – not straight country tunes, but instead a whole host of songs and styles that change things up, and definitely live up to the "noir" and "jukebox" spirit in the title! Tracks include "The Whipping Post" by Jody Reynolds, "The Devil's Queen" by Dorsey Burnette, "Mooshatanio" by Jimmie Driftwood, "North Wind" by Slim Whitman, "Blue Carnation" by Dennis Roberts, "Bandstand Doll" by Johnny Carroll, "Stamped" by Foy Willing & The Riders Of The Purple Sage, "My Downfall" by Virgil Holmes, and "Devil's Hand" by Mike Jarrett & Gene Herd.
