Red Foley - old country boogie woogie

This 1951 Decca release is a classic of the Country-Boogie era. While originally recorded by Arkie Shibley, Red Foley’s version helped bring the "hot rod" craze to a national audience. "Hot Rod Race" is one of the earliest examples of car culture in music, often cited as a precursor to Rock and Roll.Red Foley was a pioneer of the "Nashville Sound." In 1945, he became the first country artist to record in Nashville, paving the way for the city to become "Music City USA."

Chris Bouchillon (1893–1968) is often credited as the originator of the “talking blues” style, later adopted by artists like Woody Guthrie and Bob Dylan.

This disc is part of Columbia’s 15000‑D country/folk series, recorded during the early electrical era using the Western Electric process — hence the “Viva‑tonal” branding.
