Bob Riley

A regular on the Hayloft Jamboree (WCOP, Boston, Mass.) Bob Riley jumped on the rockabilly bandwagon once Elvis came on the scene. Bob Riley was known as "the Elvis of New England." In addition to having a notable career of his own, Bob played lead guitar on Freddie Cannon's early recordings. He was still performing until recently locally on the country circuit.

Note 1 : Included is "To The Aisle". original release unknown, I'm not even quite sure that is the same Bob Riley.

Note 2 : "Big Dog" is perhaps his best rocker. Never compiled, as far as I known. Also included, even if the file is cut before the end.
