6. For the kids out there: At the beginning Sam refers to "Ramona Jones," who was a fiddler and wife of "Grandpa Jones" who wrote the song. There are many other versions including June Carter-Cash's, but I agree with /u/basilbowman, Sam Bush's is the best.

7. Standout tracks (though they are all excellent) are `Pony Express', `Earl's Breakdown', `Eight More Miles to Louisville', `Rawhide' and the gradually accelerating `Buffalo Gals', probably the track which best showcases Weissberg's incredible ability. Even if you're a city boy like me, you'll love it/5().

9. While there's plenty more albums after these, this effectively represents the "golden age" of Bill Haley and his Comets. Conveniently enough, each album has its own CD, while the remaining space is dedicated to non-LP bonus tracks, which is a highlight because many of Bill's early sides from the 40s/50s were scarcely heard/5(46).
