Perpetual Stomp: 1951-1996 combines 16 tracks that represent
Ray Campi's honky tonk and rockabilly sound recorded throughout his career. While
Campi has recorded way more material than this disc could possibly cover, this collection gives you a good idea of his overall sound. Along with
Campi originals, his choice of covers penned by
Chuck Berry, Richard M. Jones,
Hank Ballard, and
Floyd Tillman gives you a pretty good idea of where he is coming from musically. If you can find them, any of
Campi's recordings for Rockin' Ronny Weiser's Rollin' Rock label from the '70s are definitely worth checking into. ~ Al Campbell
