Free Music Notes for Billboard Top Rock & Roll Hits: 1962
Free Music Review: fine and affordable retrospective of early '60s rock
Hit: 5 Stars
Billboard Top Rock & Roll Hits: 1962 is a budget priced CD that has a fine ten tracks of great rock and roll hits from 1962. I give high marks to the reviewer who notes that there may still be a second, older edition of this CD floating around out there. Be sure to check the track listings with your seller before buying this album--you want the version you want, not the other way around!
Booker T. & The MG's begin the track set with their very, very famous tune called "Green Onions." The electric guitars rock great and the percussion is awesome. The keyboard work is great, too. No wonder "Green Onions" was such a big hit! You'll love it, too; I am sure of it.
Gene Chandler turns in a rock song with a dash of doo wop on his "Duke Of Earl;" this very romantic number features Gene singing perfectly and the backup harmonizing is flawless. I really like the musical arrangement, too. Listen also for Tommy Roe's cute "Sheila;" "Sheila" is a song that allows Tommy to sing of a woman he really likes.
Joey Dee & The Starliters do their positive electric "Peppermint Twist;" this tune is easily a highlight of this album and it still sounds as fresh today as it did the very first time I ever heard it! There are great electric guitars and the hand clapping makes the number even stronger!
Little Eva does her energetic "The Loco-motion" with all her heart and soul; you can hear it all with just one listen. Neil Sedaka does a great rendition of "Breaking Up Is Hard To Do" that reflects a certain innocence because this number is so beautifully arranged; and the CD ends with Freddy Cannon doing a rockin' ballad, "Palisades Park." "Palisades Park" is an awfully good number that stands the test of time. This is classic rock and roll.
Overall, for the low price (as of the time I am writing this) you get a good ten tracks out of this CD. I recommend this for fans of rock and roll music from the very early 1960s; and people who want to get to know the rock music from the very early `60s would do well to choose this CD.
