about

Formed in 1988 in Southern California, Big Sandy and His Fly-Rite Boys have become one of the world’s most beloved Americana/Roots acts, drawing from the deep musical waters that flow just beneath the surface of Rock & Roll’s fertile soil. A childhood passion for Country, Doo-Wop, and Rhythm & Blues 45s led Sandy (born Robert Williams) to pursue a singing career as a teenager, beginning a life in music that continues decades later. And as his personal record collection continues to grow (75,000 and counting), so does the depth of the musical influences that stream through his songwriting and singing style.

Most of this great American music is a breath of fresh smog, guaranteed to deliver a dose of nostalgia when the octane was high and the polyester never existed. The 16-track set features the best of the band’s Hightone Records albums (1994-2004) served up with that old time rock ‘n roll, hillbilly boogie, R&B, rockabilly/country flavor. Features some Big Sandy original compositions along with the Fly-Rite Boys take on classic tracks from Richard Berry, Jimmy Wilson and Big Mama Thornton. A must have for fans of western swing and Americana roots music.
