Willie Lewis (rockabilly musician) explained

Willie Lewis (1946 – October 17, 2014) was a rockabilly recording artist and founder of The Rock-A-Billy Record Company, a record label based in Denver, Colorado.

Lewis started the label in order to release rare and authentic rockabilly recordings, most of which were pressed on colored vinyl between 1982 and 1998. He released music from artists such as Go Cat Go, Ronnie Dawson, Don Rader, Marti Brom, High Noon, Jonny Barber & The Rhythm Razors, Little Roy Williamson & the Denver Ramblers, Kidd Pharaoh, and the Redline Rockets.

Lewis recorded his own music under a variety of names, including Willy & the String Poppers, Billy & the Bop Cats, King Cat & the Pharaohs, the Bop-a-Whiles, and most recently Willie & The Rhythm Razors. The Rock-A-Billy Record Company celebrated its 25th anniversary in 2007, and in honor of its birthday Lewis released new Silver Anniversary records on colored vinyl once again.
