dont waste your money.......2006-08-04
Man, what are you WAITING for?.......2005-02-25
We are talking Elvis. We're talking Carl Perkins. We're talking Johnny Cash. Roy Orbison. Jerry Lee Lewis. Charlie Rich. Sonny Burgess, Ed Bruce, Bill Justis, Warren Smith, The Prisonaires, Tommy Blake, Ernie Chaffin, Billy Riley & His Little Green Men...I mean, man, the list goes ON. Sam Phillips discovered 'em ALL, I mean that boy must've had an ear made of gold.
Song after song. It ain't just Elvis and Johnny Cash, no way. Just listen to "Red Cadillac and a Black Moustache," or "High School Confidential," or "Drinkin' Wine," or the original "Mystery Train" and then Elvis' earth-shattering remake, and then listen to Carl Perkins tear through "Matchbox" and "Blue Suede Shoes"...check out "Red Headed Woman," then "Raunchy," then "Lonely Weekends," then "I'm Gonna Murder My Baby," (he did!) then slap your ears onto "Flying Saucers Rock & Roll," one of the most insanely fantastic rock songs of all time, and son they don't MAKE enough batteries to keep your CD player going when you start digging these cats. Just keep it going, one great tune after another, and that's life, man. That's what it's all about.
Get Hip To The Dawn Of Rock N' Roll.......2002-10-12
It's all here in this essential two disc compilation. Talk about roots music...It dosn't get any deeper and raw than Rufus Thomas's Tiger Man, Billy "The Kid" Emerson's Red Hot or Gene Simmons' Drinkin' Wine. Then of course there's the aforementioned Elvis Presley, Scotty & Bill, (as orginally credited on Sun Records) on That's All Right and Mystery Train, Carl Perkins unforgetable Blue Suede Shoes and Match Box and Johnny Cash & The Tennesse Two doing Folsom Prison Blues and I Walk The Line. Let's not forget Roy Orbison & The Teen Kings big 1956 hit Ooby Dooby and the Killer himself Jerry Lee Lewis & His Pumping Piano with smash hits like Whole Lotta Shakin' Going On and High School Confidential.
This really is a "must-have" CD. If you have even a passing intersest in Rocabilliy, R&B, Gospel and Country, you owe it to yourself to pick up on this amazing anthology. Get hip to the dawn of Rock N' Roll. There's absolutely no better place to get started.
