Free Music Review: and the nostalgia continues...
Hit: 5 Stars
The Golden Age of American Rock 'n' Roll, Volume 11 has a whopping thirty (yes, thirty) tracks on the album--and several are really quite rare as other reviewers have noted. The sound is very, very good and the selection couldn't be better.
The CD starts strong with Lavern Baker's classic hit "Jim Dandy." She sings this song with all her might and it's clear and sassy when you hear her belt it out. The melody is appealing and the male backup singers enhance the number. "Jim Dandy' has a great beat to it, too. "Ruby Baby" by Dion has this singer crooning his best and Dion never misses a note! This number has great guitar and the backup singers are cool. I also like The Four Lovers singing out "(You're The) Apple Of My Eye;" this awesome 1950s tune rocks well!
The hits continue. Listen for Conway Twitty's "I Need Your Lovin';" and Bobby Comstock & His Counts do a great job with their rendition of the classic "Tennessee Waltz." Shirley & Lee do their huge hit "Let The Good Times Roll;" I really like this classic number. There's also the immortal Ruth Brown performing a rockin' tune called "This Little Girl's Gone Rockin'." Listen for some great brass on "This Little Girl's Gone Rockin'!"
One of the most beautiful ballads on this album is Clyde McPhatter's "Without Love (There Is Nothing);" he sings this passionately and it really impresses me a lot. Yet another solid number you just might recognize is "Smokey Joe's Caf?" by The Robins. Awesome!
The liner notes come in the form of a generous 28 page booklet with lots and lots of information about these hits. I love the cover art with all those 1950's cars on the front!
This CD is practically indispensable for anyone who loves pop hits from the mid 1950s to the early 1960s. The sound is excellent; you get a whopping thirty tracks; and the liner notes are bursting at the seams with info about the hits. You won't regret this purchase.
