"Oakie Boogie" by Hank Swatley

KOSMO's VINYL of the Week:
This week we're back to West Memphis in 1959 for the rockabilly classic "Oakie Boogie" by Hank Swatley on the obscure to me Aaron label...

"When rockabilly blew up in England in the late 1970s, it was in clear contrast to what had become a stodgy Teddy Boy scene. It was a dance floor based scene and most of the records these cats and kittens were tearin' it up to were fairly obscure, one-time regional hits. Hank Swatley's "Oakie Boogie" was introduced to me by Nigel Dixon, leader of the rockabilly band "Whirlwind", in 1977, and all he knew about Hank and the record was written on the label." - KV
