Bear Family Records estimates that Eddie Cletro's Flying Saucer Boogie CD will
ship around August 21, 2006. This collection of music contains over 65 minutes
of Eddie's complete solo recordings as well as the recordings he and his band,
the Roundup Boys did with Eddie Dean, Donn Reynolds and Rose Maddox.
Eddie Cletro had one of the most unusual careers in western music. Based
in Los Angeles, he had no hit records, but he
did have a great voice and a great band – the Roundup Boys -- and several
of his recordings have long been highly
sought after among collectors, particularly the great, rocking double-sider
from 1952, First Class, Second Hand Woman
b/w Flying Saucer Boogie. Cletro achieved his greatest popularity in the early
to mid-1950s, at a point when western
music and western swing bands were generally out of favor, but he and the Roundup Boys
went from strength to strength in this transitional era.
'Flying Saucer Boogie' gathers all of Eddie Cletro’s recordings for Lariat,
Imperial, Sage and Sand, including the classic,
First Class, Second Hand Woman, Daniel Boone and others. In addition, the
set contains Cletro and the Roundup Boys
ably supporting western star Eddie Dean on his 1956 Rock 'n' Roll Cowboy
and several amazing tracks the band made
backing California scene legend Rose Maddox, including the rocking classics
Wild, Wild Young Men and Hey Little Dreamboat.
Also heard is Cletro's 1952 session in support
of the King Of Yodelers, Canadian Donn Reynolds, and even
the Christmas disc that Cletro made with his daughter Diane in
1955, Santa Claus, Jr.
The CD ships with a 36-page-booklet that contains rare and previously
unpublished pictures. A feast for the eye.
