[excerpt from the CD liner notes]:
Two legendary sidemen: James Burton gave Rick Nelson's band its gutbucket rockabilly authenticity in the '50's; Ralph Mooney gained his greatest renown as a member of Waylon Jennings' Outlaw-era Waylors in the '70's. In between, the stellar work of both men graced countless Bakersfield country and Hollywood rock/pop sessions. The definitive Bakersfield instrumental album and longtime collectors' favorite, this marks its first U.S. release on CD. And frankly, it's about time." -- Rich Kienzle, country music historian
