Johnny Bond was a west coast country music pioneer, a successful music publisher, and even Tex Ritter's official biographer. He had a hard driving style rooted in western swing. 30 carefully chosen tracks feature the best from across Johnny's barnstorming years with Columbia Records in the 1950s! Also included are some unissued recordings for the diehard collectors who thought they had everything - 1957's rousing The Little Rock Roll and four previous unissued masters. Accompaniment by Hollywood's studio aces: Joe Maphis, Wesley Tuttle, Noel Boggs, Jimmy Bryant and Speedy West and by Nashville's A-team: Harold Bradley, Grady Martin,Farris Coursey, Bob Moore, and others. Also inclues an essay by Packy Smith..
