Young, Faron
Snowball
The rocknroll explosion of mid 50s made to change a lot of things in the USAs discography industry, and suddenly every record company began to search desperately his own Elvis Presley. Big lables as Capitol Records even forced their own singers to step into the big beat, and thats what happened with Faron Young. Farons rocknroll recordings where an accident forced by the circunstaces, but at least Faron was into the supposed age to fit on the new rhythm, and his friendship with Elvis Presley from his Louisiana Hayride days help him to feel more cofortable in that field thant others of his country & western colleages. Anyway Faron was a country singer and as soon as the likes for rocknroll decreased at the end of the 50s he came back deep into is old honky tonk sound. But nonetheless the rocknroll days of Faron Yound gave us some fantastic songs, as always superb backed by the Nashviles A-Team and produced with a great sound quality, as usual on every recording from the Owen Bradleys studio. In this EP youll find four great songs, swinging from strong rockabilly sounds to pop and jazz flavoured tunes. You wont find the Farons country roots on this tracks but anyway his brief rocknroll affaire is highly enjoyable!
