Album lore

That'll Flat Git It, Vol. 21 collects 29 tracks of rockabilly and early rock ’n’ roll culled from Atlantic Records’ 1950s vaults. Issued in 2011 by Bear Family Records, this compilation offers a sturdy snapshot of the label’s lesser-known rockabilly sides, featuring artists who rode the wave of postwar country-tinged rhythm and blues. Among the selections is “Rockin’ Country Style,” a brisk, guitar-driven number indicative of the era’s fusion of twang and swing.The set includes tracks like “My Pink Cadillac” and “Swingin’ Baby Doll,” which highlight the raw energy and rhythmic drive that defined the genre’s formative years. This volume serves not only as an archive of Atlantic’s rockabilly output but also as a testament to the label’s reach beyond its R&B stronghold, preserving a slice of the 1950s American South and its musical crosscurrents.
