Description
Nita, Rita & Ruby were a country/pop/rockabilly teenage "Supergroup", assembled by their record company, comprising Anita Carter (Maybelle Carter's youngest daughter), Rita Robbins (who was married to Nashville "A" Team guitarist Ray Edenton), and Ruby Wells (daughter of Kitty Wells and Johnnie Wright).
A relatively short-lived ensemble, they recorded together for just a couple of years, releasing eight 45s on RCA-Victor between 1955-57. Sides like 'Rock Love', 'Lovely Lips', 'Whose Baby Are You?', 'Hi De Ank Tum', 'Leroy', 'Last Night In My Dreams' and '(He Said Yeah) Baby You're The One' are all hugely collectable items.
This collection reissues everything that the trio recorded between 1955 and 1957, the first time that this superlative body of work has been compiled together on CD.
It features all eight 45rpms; three sides which were not issued at the time; a rare, live clip from The Grand Ole Opry; plus, as bonus tracks, four contemporaneous solo 45s by each of the girls.
