Butt Rockin'

Butt Rockin' (1981) more music like this

by The Fabulous Thunderbirds

As with most bands who reach back into styles more than a couple of decades old for their chief inspirations, the limitations of the Fabulous Thunderbirds' approach was becoming apparent by this, their third album. Granted they were still more competent and enthusiastic at their specialty than most of their competition, and they did expand their ...

Live from Austin, TX

Live from Austin, TX (2005) more music like this

by Texas Tornados

It's hard to imagine a band that was more perfectly suited for Austin, TX, than the Texas Tornados. Never mind the fact that two of the city's favorite sons, Doug Sahm and Augie Meyers, were members (and that the other key members, Freddy Fender and Flaco Jimenez, were equally beloved throughout the Lone Star State) -- in a city with as voracious ...

By Request (1993) more music like this

by Cookie & the Cupcakes

Cookie & the Cupcakes were among the most popular rock and roll artists in Louisiana during the early '50s. They infused their R&B and rock material with a loping swamp-pop flavor, performing both inspired covers and their own soulful originals. This CD reissue contains 20 Cupcake numbers, among them hard-rocking covers of "Honey Hush," "Betty and ...

Kings of Swamp Pop

Kings of Swamp Pop (1997) more music like this

by Cookie & the Cupcakes

It's pretty hard to argue with the title on the strength of this definitive collection of 30 tracks released on four local labels from 1956-1964. Cookie & the Cupcakes were also a definitive regional band -- their two minor hits showed up on the national pop (but not R&B) charts, which shows they had plenty of appeal to white teenagers in ...

Swamp Gold, Vol. 1

Swamp Gold, Vol. 1 (1991) more music like this

by Various Artists

Swamp Gold, Vol. 1 contains a number of early zydeco and New Orleans R&B cuts by the likes of Phil Bo, Rockin' Sidney, Jonnie Allan, Rod Bernard, Irma Thomas and Warren Storm. All of the music here is tremendously exciting, and some of it -- such as Lil' Bob and the Lollipops' "I Got Loaded," and Johnnie Allan's "Lonely Days and Lonely Nights," ...

Essential Louisiana Rhythm and Blues

Essential Louisiana Rhythm and Blues (2005) more music like this

by Various Artists

New Orleans R&B has always had its own distinct flavor with upbeat, rolling piano lines, fluid horn charts, and a certain joie de vivre in the lyrics that gives it a very special bounce. This interesting set from Fuel collects 15 classic New Orleans and Louisiana tracks from the early- to mid-'60s, including Lee Dorsey's "Ya Ya," a young Aaron ...

The Locust Years...And the Return to the Promised Land

The Locust Years...And the Return to the Promised Land (1994) more music like this

by Jerry Lee Lewis

Picking up where the eight-CD set Classic left off, the eight-CD box The Locust Years...and the Return to the Promised Land rivals its predecessor in musical quality. Tracing Jerry Lee Lewis' '60s career at Smash Records, the first two discs find the pianist trying to replicate his rock & roll success; while the performances were good, it was ...

The Golden Age of American Rock 'N' Roll, Vol. 11

The Golden Age of American Rock 'N' Roll, Vol. 11 (2007) more music like this

by Various Artists

The 11th volume of this venerated series is split about half between out-and-out classics from rock & roll's first decade and considerably lesser-known (and usually much lower-charting) items from the same period. The benefit of this approach is that it makes available quite a few tracks that rarely get reissued, or at least rarely anthologized on ...

Tradition Creole (1999) more music like this

by Lawrence Black Ardoin

It's a pretty general rule that Cajun music uses a fiddle, a zydeco, and a R&B band to complement the accordion's leading role. Well, Lawrence"Black" Ardoin must have figured rules are made to broken because fiddler Edward Poullard is in the band here and that touch helps make Tradition Creole one of the most distinctive zydeco discs around, one ...

Teen Beat, Vol. 2 (1994) more music like this

by Various Artists

This digs way deeper into the cobwebs of history than the first volume of the series. Although a few of these were big hits, over half of the 30 tracks didn't even make it into the Top 100. That doesn't mean they should be dismissed. But in the case of these selections at least, they're simply not nearly as memorable as the best early rock & roll ...

The Tex-Mex Teen Magic of the String-A-Longs (2003) more music like this

by The String-A-Longs

The String-A-Longs are usually thought of as an instrumental group, in large part because their only big hit, "Wheels" (which reached number three in 1961), was an instrumental rocker. If that's the stuff you want to hear, you should opt for Ace's wholly instrumental String-A-Longs collection, Wheels, which has no less than 28 such 1960-1964 ...

Louisiana Saturday Night (1993) more music like this

by Various Artists

Like its predecessor (Another Saturday Night, also on Ace), this is a compilation of Louisiana swamp pop, the admixture of rock, country, blues, pop, and Cajun that continues to thrive in the region. Most of the 26 tracks are vintage sides from the '60s, although there are a few of later origin. Some of the artists are nothing more than names to ...

Rock 'n' Country (1976) more music like this

by Freddy Fender

Expect the unexpected from Freddy Fender, who starts off an album entitled Rock 'n' Country with a version of "Vaya con Dios," which is quite a bit neither. He then proceeds through a series of numbers that if sung by a vocal group would be considered doo wop, at least an early form of rock & roll, given here a Houston-style R&B treatment in which ...
