Synopsis

Album Description

This third volume in Ace's exploration of the Wisconsin-based Cuca label covers the best of the company's rockabilly and rock'n'roll output. The farming state of Wisconsin got into rock late in the day and kept on rockin' long after the rest of America had moved on. 14 of the 30 tunes have not been released on CD before while 6 are issued here for the first time anywhere. Completes a trilogy of releases that generate continuous sales off each other. Compiled and annotated by Rob Finnis.

"futile though it may be, here is what i have to say about this cd: this is volume three of the cuca records story: a studio that operated from roughly 1959 to 1969 about 25 miles north of madison, wisconsion. oddly enough, the 3rd volume covers the beginning years. the rockabilly times of 1959-64. rockabilly in 1960? 61? 62? 63? and 64? you may well ask. remember, this was wisconsin. evidentally they were a year or two behind the times out in farm country. fun disc, though. no genius unearthed here, but a lot of pretty fine guitar slingers. if you love rockabilly, this is a nice set of obscurities for your collection. if you love the magic of music's ability to transport you to another time, this might be up your alley as well. if you are strictly a stravinsky sort of person, this will not do. look elsewhere."
