He was born in Memphis, so when he made his frst discs in 1955 and 1956 he was at the epicenter of the new rockabilly sounds. He became identifed as the 'rockin' daddy from ding dong Tennessee' described in his best- selling disc. Through 1956 to 1959, Bond was hot stuff, playing shows with Elvis Presley, Carl Perkins, Johnny Cash and all the other singers from Memphis whose music spoke to a whole new generation.\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eEddie Bond (1933-2013) started and ended as a country singer, but his bands always contained musicians who could play rockabilly with the best of them. From his frst sessions to his last Eddie always chose to record some rocking songs. His Mercury discs with Reggie Young on guitar were classics of the rockabilly style. Later, Eddie became a Memphis disc jockey, night club owner, record label owner, and more.\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThis rocking 35-track CD contains the very essence of Memphis rockabilly.
