Joe Pennington began his career when he joined country legend Hank Williams & The Drifting Cowboys as a guitarist in 1947. After the army and as a member of other country bands, such as Jimmy Dickens and Lefty Frizzell, he turned his attention to his solo career in the 1950s and began composing and recording rockabilly and rock & roll songs as Joe Penny. His ’Bip A Little, Bop A Lot’ and ’Mercy, Mercy, Percy’ became ’dancefloor fillers’ during the rockabilly revival of the 70s and 80s. In addition to his record releases, many unreleased rock & roll and rockabilly songs from the 1950s are included here.
