Terry Fell – Fireball Boogie – 3CD

Dora-Alabama-bred Terry Fell's contribution to the embryotic California music scene is the focus of Atomicat Records' (ACCD 149) Fireball Boogie. The triple ninety-four song CD anthology glorifies the career of Terry Fell. The songs recorded from 1945 to 1963 focus on Fell's up-tempo recordings, and additionally included are, recordings from his Lode Record label, and artists who recorded his compositions. Within the anthology are 21 unreleased acetates, two of which are from his label signing Sammy Masters. Terry Fell was never a rocker, he sang country boogie which revivalists happily listened to, and made the style part of the rock 'n' roll scene. The album's 16-page sleeve notes will explain about the multi-talented Fell who; sang, played guitar, bass, and mandolin, owned Lode Records, wrote numerous songs, became involved in rock 'n' roll music, and this aspect of his career is available on the third CD. The release dates for Fell's recordings are conflicting, therefore, the information within the booklet has been grouped by the label for ease of reading and explaining. The anthology also includes Fell's only known TV appearance which was filmed on the 5th of November 1955 at the Ozark Jubilee. Fell was introduced by Red Foley, and sang his October 1955 RCA Victor release That's What I Like, and the studio band featured guitarist Grady Martin.
