Golden Era of Rock 'n' Roll: 1954-1963

by
Various Artists
You'd need a wall full of early rock & roll records to get a truly definitive summary of the best sounds from the music's first decade. That qualification noted, this is about as good a sampling of the most important early rock & roll hits and performers as could be stuffed into a three-CD, 62-song set, and deserves the highest rating even if it ...

#1 Hits of the 50s and 60s [Madacy]

by
Various Artists
As part of the Madacy's #1 Hits compilation series, these 36 tracks provide only adequate representation of these artists at best. Unfortunately the songs here have been re-recorded (with the exception of "Kansas City," "Tequila," "Stay," and "Telstar" ) and should be avoided. If you're looking for the original versions of these hits from the '50s ...

Born Under a Bad Sign [Stax]

more music like this
by
Albert King
Albert King recorded a lot in the early '60s, including some classic sides, but they never quite hit the mark. They never gained a large audience, nor did they really capture the ferocity of his single-string leads. Then he signed with Stax in 1966 and recorded a number of sessions with the house band, Booker T. & the MG's, and everything just ...

Champion Jack Dupree
Champion Jack Dupree was one of the first American blues performers to leave the States and settle in Europe, where racial restrictions were less prominent. Arriving on the Continent in 1959, Dupree was well established and in a good position to take advantage of the British blues boom when it hit in the early to mid-'60s. Never one to let ...

Tom Jones
Focusing primarily on Tom Jones' late-1960s output, this 12-track collection features such perennials as "It's Not Unusual," "What's New Pussycat?" (in a curiously abbreviated version), and "I'll Never Fall in Love Again"; still, although entertaining, it's missing far too many key tracks ("Delilah" and "She's a Lady" among them) to truly qualify ...

Part of L.A. DJ Hunter Hancock's theme included the declaration "you'll hear music that runs the gamut from bebop to ballads, swing to sweet, and blues to boogie." And while on this fifth installment of Increase Records' history of classic rock & roll radio, the claim isn't strictly true, Hancock is heard guffawing in between an array of R&B hits ...

When James Brown was exalted as the "Hardest Working Man in Show Business," it wasn't just some empty hype that a publicist dreamed up -- few singers in any genre were more workaholic or perfectionist. The Godfather of Soul demanded a lot from himself and a lot from his musicians, on whom he could be notoriously hard. Those who were lucky enough ...

Lou Rawls
True, this two-CD compilation of 1962-1970 tracks isn't the most balanced Lou Rawls retrospective, as it favors his early soul output and has nothing from his commercial peak in the late '70s with Philadelphia International. It's also true that if you favor Rawls at his earthiest, you'll likely find this the best Rawls compilation available. Not ...

I Love Rock & Roll: Hits of the '50s is an excellent mid-line collection that contains 20 hits.
