The King of Rockabilly finally gets the spotlight he deserves: Ray Campi - Rocks is more than just a compilation - it's a passionate portrait of an artist who didn't just play rockabilly, he lived it. This release from the acclaimed Bear Family 'Rocks' series traces Campi's remarkable career from the 1950s to 1990. Even without major chart success, he became a true legend - driven by raw energy, authenticity, and an unmatched stage presence. His music is lively, humorous, danceable - and above all: real. The CD combines his explosive 1950s recordings, key tracks from his 1970s Rollin' Rock years, and real highlights for fans: previously unreleased live recordings. They prove why Ray Campi was considered an unbeatable live performer. Of course, his essential classics are included: Caterpillar, Rockabilly Man, How Low Can You Feel, Play It Cool, and Rockin' At The Ritz. The deluxe 36-page booklet features a personal biography by Rip Masters, a foreword by Deke Dickerson, rare photos, and a detailed discography - a must-have for collectors.
