Lew Williams - Cat Talk (Bear Family) BCD 16347

For decades, Lew Williams remained one of rockabilly's most intriguing mysteries. His small body of work is well-known. Most of his Imperial recordings from 1955-56 have been reissued at regular intervals, covered, even plagiarized. Almost nothing was known of him. What became of him after 1957 remained a tantalizing blank. . . until now. Sides included here like Centipede, Something I Said, Cat Talk and Bop Bop Ba Doo Bop are revered and treasured by Rockabilly fans worldwide.
