| Ball Tonight CD (1993)
Hobo Bop album
 $17.79
Picture this -- it's like 1956 and you're playing in some band down south or in one of the border states, thinking of really making it in the music business, and there's this rock & roll that all of the kids are buying, and it's got a beat and you've got the voice to pull it off the way that "hillbilly cat" from Memphis is doing it, so you and your band get a local businessman to back you for one single, and then there's two hundred bucks blown and the record never charts, or even makes it into stores more than a few miles from your hometown, but it gets you some gigs just having it out. And then Buffalo Bop comes along 40 years later and gets hold of it all and throws these records onto a CD like this. That's what Buffalo Bop is about, gathering together rockabilly's ersatz and also-rans, 30 songs at a time, and delivering the music up whole at the end of the 20th century. These releases have no notes, just a few surviving publicity shots where they exist (which help explain why a lot of the decent sounding ...
| | Teenage Favorites CD (1994) (Import) Germany
Hobo Bop CD music
$23.19 
Compared with Buffalo Bop's usual rockabilly and teen-rebel collections, this 33-song compilation is kind of dorky -- sort of a nerd's picture of rock & roll (the Richie Cunningham as opposed to the Fonzie playlist). Nobody appearing on this CD ever aspired to be really cool like Elvis or Gene Vincent; Ricky Nelson was as far as they got. But it's all great fun in its well-crafted, highly produced way, and some of the artists and labels here will actually be familiar--Tony Orlando ("The Loneliest"), Steve Lawrence ("Pretty Blue Eyes"), Milo Liggett ("Gold ...

$18.45
Another 30 rockabilly obscurities from Germany's Buffalo Bop label, led off by the delightfully brainless "Jugue" by Johnny Amelio, originally released on Blue Moon records back in the primordial days of rock & roll -- Amelio's even more raucous and less cerebral "Jo Ann -- Jo Ann" churns up the middle of this collection with his raw vocals and raunchy guitar. Paul Ballenger's "I Hear Thunder" is more ...

| | Yung Berg Look What You Made Me CD (2007) Edited
Hobo Bop album
$9.99
After a string of club-bangin' singles and successful mixtapes, the Chi-town rapper known as Yung Berg drops his long-awaited debut album, LOOK WHAT YOU MADE ME. Showing versatility, Berg presents an even mix of R&B-tinged radio-friendly tracks and thugged-out ghetto anthems--he busts out a melodious flow through the vocoder on "The Business" and does his best to mimic fellow Windy City native Twista's break-neck delivery on "Where Do We Go." Heavy on guests, LOOK WHAT YOU MADE ME features appearances by Trey Songz, Lloyd, Casha, Amerie, Collie Buddz, and Eve.
On Look What You Made Me, the cocksure Yung Berg repeatedly mentions Jay-Z, Biggie, and Pac, but he certainly won't be mistaken for any of them. He apes Jay-Z's delivery quite a bit but his swagger and style is more Nelly and when it comes to lyrics, he's serviceable, not stunning. Put it this way, Look What You Made Me is his first full-length -- following his Almost Famous EP by just over a year -- and he's already used the word "Sexy" in the titles of two of his singles, but they were huge, hook-filled singles, both included here, surrounded by more of the same. "The Business," "Manager," "Do That There," and almost everything else that isn't marked "Interlude" would work just fine on urban radio. Add "Sexy Lady" and "Sexy Can I," plus a platinum dreams guest list that includes Ray J, Twista, Lloyd, and Eve, along with producers Rob Holladay and Mr. ColliPark, and the album is as sweet as candy, even when it's trying not to be sugary. From the confrontational album title to the cuss words, Berg is working to shake the pop ...
