    I'm no expert- but i like almost anything by early Link Wray and Charlie Feathers. Norton has put out some great comps!


    This is really all you need:

    ...but if you can't shell out the "rockin' bones" for that entire CD box, I'd recommend:
    - Dale Hawkins (on MCA/Chess or Norton)
    - Billy Lee Riley (on Sun)
    - Warren Smith (on Sun)
    - Ronnie Dawson (on almost any label - even his stuff from the '90s is good)
    - Johnny Burnette Rock 'N' Roll Trio (not to be confused with Johnny's later solo recordings on Liberty like "You're Sixteen")
    - Sonny Burgess (on Sun)'
