Gonna Shake This Shack Tonight

This 34 track CD picks up the story in 1951 when Bill Carlisle's group, the Carlisles, signed with Mercury Records. Bill had just acquired a young guitarist named Chet Atkins, and Chet is heard laying down his hot licks throughout this set. Martha Carson is featured, too, and her gospel exuberance would later influence Elvis and many others. Bill's hits, like Too Old To Cut The Mustard, Iz Zat You Myrtle' and No Help Wanted, were wildly energetic, but this set also includes songs like Leave That Liar Alone (that Ray Charles adapted into Leave My Woman Alone), and the Carlisles' cover version of the Drifters' Honey Love, as well as the best of the Carlisles' never before reissued RCA and Columbia recordings. 1951-1962 recordings with 32 page booklet.
