Bill Lowery was the man when it came to Atlanta's 1950s music scene. The dynamic Louisiana native began working as a deejay when he was 16, progressing to managing a radio station at 21 before settling in Atlanta in 1946. Lowery wore many hats after that as a top-rated deejay, a gig as 'Uncle Ebenezer Brown' on a Saturday morning country music program, and heading his own highly successful publishing firm, Lowery Music Company (Be-Bop-A-Lula and Young Love were two of his company's early successes). In 1955, Bill launched his first record label, Stars, Inc. - the focus of this revelatory collection. Rockabilly was raging, and Lowery nailed down some top-flight local talent in the genre for his fledgling diskery. Even though he didn't have a Stars, Inc. single of his own, Jerry Reed contributes mightily to this set, writing and playing sizzling guitar on separate versions of Ooh-eee (What You Do To Me) by Chuck Atha and Ric Cartey and peeling off bluesy lead licks on The Rockateers' two-part instrumental Rock Bottom (Reed was the writer there too). Cleve Warnock's My Baby Is Gone and The Night Hawks' You're My Baby are snarling rockabilly, while Did We Have A Party by Billy Brown rocks like crazy.
Stars, Inc. only existed to the close of 1957, but Lowery obviously knew what he was doing - as he proved anew at his next Atlanta-headquartered label, NRC Records.
