Artist History Bob Kelly (Rockabilly Hall of Fame Legend) has written,arranged, and performs some new Swing and Boogie Songs that revisit the early blues era at the roots of R&R. Born into a show business family, Bob has been performingever since the age of 5. Just added to the Rockabilly Hall ofFame for songs that he wrote in the 1950's for Gene Vincent and Mac Curtis, he has been performing in some form with either a group of his own or as now as a one man band all his life. Starting out in Texas as a Disk Jockey after College, then moving into the Supper Club Circuit with his group "Expression" and missing the elusive Hit Record after many recording contracts with Mercury (Smash), Mediarts, Warner Brothers, United Artists, Casa Blanca, etc. etc. Bob now performs in Las Vegas as a One Man Band in the Lounges. Since he calls himself "Semi-Retired" and only works parttime, it gives him lots of time to do what he really wants to do-----sooooo----here are some Really nice "Cool, Swing, Boogie" Songs and that is the title of the CD. Also, here are many of the originalversionsof the early Rockabilly songs that Bob wrote and many other Stars recorded. Bob has just gotten into the Video Recording process and there are three video's of someo of the swing song's on this MP3.com site.
