Free Music Review: fine budget priced CD of oldies but goodies
Hit: 5 Stars
Billboard Top Rock & Roll Hits: 1957 is a budget priced CD that still gives you ten big rock and roll hits from 1957. The quality of the sound is excellent and I like the artwork, too.
Elvis starts off the track list with his "All Shook Up." Elvis handles the tempo and key changes very smoothly as he always did; and the musical arrangement lacks nothing--it's THAT good. Elvis never sounded better and the percussion marks the best very well.
The Everly Brothers follow with "Wake Up Little Susie." The modulations between major and minor keys work very well; and this ballad shines while they harmonize and play the guitars so well. Paul Anka's "Diana" sparkles like brand new whenever I hear this; Paul sings this well and his excellent diction bolsters his performance even more.
Moreover, listen for The Crickets doing a great job on "That'll Be The Day." The musical interlude has plenty of room for some awesome guitars and percussion; and overall The Crickets perform "That'll Be The Day" very well.
Elvis returns for "Jailhouse Rock." Elvis sings this with all his heart and soul; the guitars make it shine and Elvis never misses a beat. "Jailhouse Rock" is a prime example of classic 1950s rock and roll.
Chuck Berry sings "School Day" with an awesome, catchy melody; and the album ends nicely with Jerry Lee Lewis performing "Whole Lot Of Shakin' Going On" with his comparatively high tenor voice. The piano arrangement couldn't be better and Jerry Lee Lewis sings this so well.
Overall, this budget priced CD gives people a great way to remember some of the very best rock and roll hits from 1957. It is also a great introduction to `50s rock and roll for newcomers to this genre of music.
