(4 out of 5 stars)

"Here is an Australian release of one of the finest Rockabilly Artists ever. Bob Luman had a voice not unlike Elvis or even Johnny Horton, but his music was closer to the great Carl Perkins. Bob Luman's heyday was in the early-1960's when Honky Tonk was being infused with original Rock-n-Roll, and Luman's sound was the epitome of this movement. There are 34 songs here, and there's really not a bad one among them! Perhaps his biggest hit, what we'd now call a "crossover", was "Let's Think About Living", which did well not only on the country charts, but the Pop charts (of the day) as well. There are a few others that are immediately recognizable: "You Win Again" (a Hank song), and Don Gibson's "Oh Lonesome Me". This CD covers a 4-year period (1959-63), so it is not all-inclusive of Bob's career. But, if you like true Rockabilly, then this one is well worth owning. The sound is fine and detailed set of liner notes are included."
