ROCK 'N' ROLL

VA - Rock 'n' Roll Cowboys, Vol. 01-10 [2013] (10 x CDs)

Rock ’n’ Roll Cowboys is a sprawling 10‑disc import compilation issued by The Intense Media in 2011, designed as a panoramic sampler of mid‑century American music where country, rockabilly, and early rock & roll collide. With 200 tracks spread across ten CDs, the set functions less as a curated narrative and more as a jukebox‑style archive, stacked with short, punchy singles that capture the restless energy of postwar popular music.

 (B)(B0The musical terrain is broad but thematically consistent: honky‑tonk rhythms, slap‑back echo, twanging guitars, and vocal stylings that range from crooning balladeers to hiccupping rockabillies. Familiar names like Johnny Horton, Marty Robbins, Johnny Cash, and George Jones appear alongside lesser‑known regional acts, offering listeners a comparative lens into how different artists approached similar material. The sequencing favors immediacy—most tracks clock in under three minutes, so the listening experience is brisk, kinetic, and often revelatory in its stylistic variety.

What makes this set impactful is its scale and accessibility. For collectors, it’s a convenient way to access hundreds of tracks that might otherwise require hunting down scattered 45s or obscure reissues. For newer listeners, it’s a crash course in the foundational sounds that shaped modern country and rock. While the packaging and liner notes are minimal, the sheer volume of material compensates, offering a sonic map of an era where genre boundaries were fluid and innovation often came from the margins.

As an archival artifact, Rock ’n’ Roll Cowboys doesn’t claim to be definitive—but it’s undeniably useful. It democratizes access to a rich musical past, foregrounds the hybrid nature of American roots music, and invites deeper listening. For anyone tracing the lineage of rock and country, this box set is both a gateway and a reference point. (B)
