Boogie

I've been listening to Swinging Hollywood Hillbilly Cowboys, a 4-CD collection of West Coast country swing and blues from the 40s and 50s, released by the estimable Brittish label Proper, a bargain at $25. I have learned that my taste for songs with the word "Boogie" in the title is in fact limited, even songs that feature a pedal steel solo. Such as: Talkin' Boogie, Git Fiddle Boogie, Ranger Boogie, Truck Driver's Boogie, Rogue River Boogie, Boogie Woogie Fever, Boogie Woogie Boy, Bottle Baby Boogie, Hoot Owl Boogie, Jump Rope Boogie and not one but two versions of the Juke Box Boogie.
