Album lore

Blue Jean Heart, released in 1975 on King Records, assembles nineteen tracks that underscore Mac Curtis’s enduring allegiance to rockabilly and rock and roll. Curtis, a figure active since the mid-1950s, channels the raw immediacy of the genre’s formative years here, with selections like "Grandaddy's Rockin’" and "Blue Jean Heart" reflecting the twang and rhythmic pulse characteristic of the style. The album sits comfortably alongside the late-’50s lineage Curtis helped shape, preserving the vintage spark without overt embellishment.Though recorded two decades after Curtis’s initial ascent, Blue Jean Heart resists the gloss of contemporary trends, favoring a directness that nods back to the genre’s origins around 1956–58. The collection captures the rough-hewn vocal delivery and brisk guitar work emblematic of his canon, making it a noteworthy artifact for those tracing rockabilly’s continuity into the 1970s. King Records, known for its catalog of roots-oriented artists, provides a fitting home for this snapshot of Curtis’s durable craft.
