Our Take

Marvin Rainwater, the original country rockabilly heartthrob, has finally been given the royal treatment with "The Complete Releases 1955-62". This compilation is a treasure trove of twangy guitar licks, heartbreaking lyrics, and Rainwater's unmistakable drawl that could make even the toughest cowboy swoon.

From the iconic "Gonna Find Me A Bluebird" to the haunting "So You Think You've Got Troubles", Rainwater showcases his versatility as an artist, seamlessly transitioning from rockabilly bangers to tear-jerking ballads with ease. His raw, emotive vocals cut through the slick production of the era, delivering a level of authenticity that is sorely lacking in modern country music.

Rainwater's influence on the genre is undeniable, with his rebellious spirit and devil-may-care attitude paving the way for future legends like Johnny Cash and Waylon Jennings. "The Complete Releases 1955-62" is a must-have for any serious music collector, offering a comprehensive look at the career of one of country music's unsung heroes.

So slip on your cowboy boots, pour yourself a strong whiskey, and let Marvin Rainwater serenade you with his timeless classics. You won't regret it.
