SH-BOOM (LIFE COULD BE A DREAM)

"Bobby Williamson is typical of regional stars of the Golden Age of Country Music, a singer who enjoyed admirable success within a couple of hundred miles of his home base but who never broke out to national stardom. A star of two of the biggest country music shows in the Southwest, the Big D Jamboree and the Saturday Night Shindig, Williamson is probably best remembered for his covers of the hits Bummin' Around and particularly the 1954 rock 'n' roll hit Sh-Boom, but they are hardly his only shining moments. The consistent string of singles he cut during 1952-1954 proved that he had the voice and the delivery to make it big. He had the looks and personality, too. He nevertheless left an engaging legacy in his brief recording career and this collection gives long overdue reconsideration to one of Texas's brightest stars of the 1950s." (www.bear-family.de)
