Pop Music: The Golden Era 1951-1975

Various Artists
To commemorate the end of the century, Sony Music assembled the 26-disc box set Sony Music 100 Years: Soundtrack for a Century. The title was imposing, as was the idea behind it -- to chronicle the life of the oldest record label in the music industry. To be clear, Sony Music has not existed for 100 years, but the heart of its catalog, Columbia ...

Frank DeVol
The combination of these Frank DeVol albums, (Portraits) and (Bacchanal!), provide pleasant interpretations of Hollywood standards and DeVol originals. The familiar melodies of "Chances Are," "Whatever Will Be, Will Be (Que Sera Sera)," and "The Yellow Rose of Texas" hold up exceptionally well. These LPs were originally released on Columbia ...

Various Artists
Although it's called The Birth of Surf, this 26-track compilation could actually be titled The Best of Surf . It includes all three of the major instrumental surf hits of the early '60s (there really were only three!) -- the Surfaris' "Wipe Out," the Chantays' "Pipeline," and the Pyramids' "Penetration" -- as well as a big wave of tracks that ...

Trini Lopez
Trini Lopez's fifth Reprise album continued his uninterrupted run in the Top 40 and marked a return to live recording after its studio-bound predecessor, The Latin Album. Lopez had a strong desire to make studio recordings, but Reprise preferred that he stick with what worked -- at least for a while -- although Live at Basin St. East would be his ...

Frankie Laine
Frankie Laine made a commercial comeback with the gold-selling "Moonlight Gambler" during the winter of 1956-57, his first Top Ten hit since 1953. With the further impetus being the success of the then-recent Johnny Mathis compilation, Johnny's Greatest Hits (the first-ever "greatest-hits" album), Columbia Records assembled Frankie Laine's ...

Various Artists
Guaranteed to drive the purists around the bend, this budget-priced box set skimps on the packaging, but does make up for it with 50 tracks spread across three CDs. As the cynical have learned to expect, although advertised as a ska compilation, it does indeed stray repeatedly into rocksteady. Once upon a time, Trojan knew the difference, but ...

Belinda Carlisle
Belinda Carlisle's career has had several twists and turns, but none has been quite as interesting as her 2007 album Voila, a collection of luxurious covers of classic French pop tunes, all sung in French. Certainly, the very concept of the former new wave queen singing French pop qualifies as one of the more intriguing projects in her solo career ...

The younger brother of Johnny Cash, and with a voice somewhat similar, it's hard to say whether Tommy Cash has prospered or suffered by that association on a career level. He's had his own hits, certainly, most notably "Six White Horses" in 1969, and "Rise and Shine" and "One Song Away" a year later in 1970, but nothing really significant since, ...

Gene Vincent & His Blue Caps
Gene Vincent & His Blue Caps' debut album, Bluejean Bop!, was rushed out in August 1956 just after his first and biggest single, "Be-Bop-A-Lula," had peaked in the Top Ten. The speed with which it had been assembled was apparent in the song selection. Vincent and Tex Davis had penned "Be-Bop-A-Lula" (or obtained it, anyway), but the songwriters ...

Huevos Rancheros' sophomore release doesn't really add too many ingredients to the Calgarian combo's instrumental cauldron, but what did you expect? Bryan Adams on lead vocals?

Gene Vincent's very first album, cut in June 1956, was a rushed affair -- which is obvious from the haphazard song selection -- but manages to be one of the most exciting LPs to come out of the early rock & roll era, rivaling Elvis Presley's first two albums, which date from the same period. Its virtues, which is to say, the virtues of Gene ...

Though the Controllers were a second-division L.A. punk band ('77-'79) like the Zeros, Plugz, Eyes, Skulls, and Rhino 39, they were still totally great, and totally better than 99 percent of what's come since in the genre. Theirs was a low-down, dirty, trash rock type of post-Thunders punk that sometimes coalesced into era classics. Since this CD ...
