For the first time, all known recordings by Joe Therrien Jr. are collected
here. The rockabilly musician from Massachusetts, USA released his first
record “Hey Babe! Let's Go Downtown / Come Back To Me Darling” in
1957 on a small local label. The surprise success in his home region
brought him to the attention of the major label Brunswick, which released
the records nationwide, also successfully. Further recordings for the
label followed, some of them unreleased at the time. Today, his recordings
are sought-after by rockabilly fans worldwide. As a bonus song, there is
“Roses Are Blooming” by The Silva-Tones, who recorded a Joe Therrien
Jr composition under this title without mentioning him as the composer!
