The Definitive Collection

The Definitive Collection (2006) more music like this

by Chuck Berry

There have been many, many Chuck Berry compilations released by Chess over the years, but as of the spring of 2006, there was no comprehensive single-disc set in print; there was the double-disc 2005 set Gold, which itself was a retitled reissue of 2000's Anthology, but the classic comp The Great Twenty-Eight was long out of print, and nothing had ...

Greatest Hits [Capitol]

Greatest Hits [Capitol] (1985) more music like this

by Johnny Rivers

Greatest Hits is a budget-priced, ten-track selection of some of Johnny Rivers' hits, and while there are some essential items missing, it still functions as a good, affordable sampler, featuring such hits as "Memphis," "The Midnight Special," "The Seventh Son," "Secret Agent Man," "Baby I Need Your Loving," "The Tracks of My Tears" and "The Poor ...

Oldies But Goodies, Vol. 1 (1987) more music like this

by Various Artists

The granddaddy of '50s and '60s rock and pop collections, Oldies But Goodies, Vol. 1 made its way to CD in 1987, when the technology used to transfer music from vinyl to compact disc was still rough enough that the compilation's sound quality suffered. Especially when compared to collections of remastered original recordings, this album's versions ...

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

Golden Era of Rock 'n' Roll: 1954-1963 (2004) more music like this

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 ...

16 Biggest Hits may be missing some noteworthy songs, but it does provide an excellent summary of Johnny Paycheck's Columbia recordings between 1971 and 1978. Since it does contain the majority of his best-known songs -- "(Don't Take Her) She's All I Got," "Someone to Give My Love To," "Slide Off of Your Satin Sheets," "I'm the Only Hell (Mama ...

Jet Propelled: The 1978 Comeback [2 Disc] (2002) more music like this

by Carl Perkins

This comeback recording by Carl Perkins in 1978 was a huge success in England and in the rest of Europe, where it constituted a rejuvenation of his touring as well as appearances on television and radio (the second disc here is a BBC interview and performance session). In the United States, Ol' Blue Suede's Back, coming as it did nary a year after ...

The Definitive Rock Collection

The Definitive Rock Collection (2006) more music like this

When one listens to the absolutely savage tracks that appeared on Foghat's classic debut album -- produced at Rockfield Studios by Dave Edmunds -- one can hear the sound of the entire history of rock music up until that point in time. True, they are all covers -- Willie Dixon's "I Just Want to Make Love to You," Chuck Berry's "Maybellene," and ...

Universal's 2005 release Gold is a repackaged reissue of their excellent 2000 release Anthology, containing the same 50 tracks over two CDs, the same mastering, and the same liner notes. The only difference is the title and the artwork, which are tailored to be part of Universal's ongoing Gold series (which somehow is more extensive than their ...

Good Rockin' Tonight: Evolution of Elvis Presley, Vol. 1 & 2 - The Complete Louisiana (2000) more music like this

by Elvis Presley

While the music Elvis performed on the "Louisiana Hayride" radio show remains as exciting as it did when he first unleashed it in 1954, the way in which this package was put together proves totally unnecessary. The docu-drama narration provided by original "Hayride" MC Frank Page could have easily been transferred to the liner notes. Instead you ...

Chess Pieces: The Very Best of Chess (2005) more music like this

by Various Artists

Although Chess Records is generally regarded as a blues label, the imprint, owned and run by brothers Leonard and Phil Chess, actually released a fair amount of R&B, early soul, gospel, nascent rock & roll, and the occasional jazz title, and as this powerful two-disc set shows, the range of classic music that came out of the label's Chicago ...

The Essential George Jones: The Spirit of Country (1994) more music like this

If any artist cried out for a cross-licensed, multi-label retrospective, it was George Jones. When Epic/Legacy released the double-disc The Essential George Jones: The Spirit of Country in 1994, he had recorded for no less than six labels -- in chronological order: Starday, Mercury, United Artists, Musicor, Epic, MCA (since then, he's added two ...

Following two releases for Poppy Records in the early '70s, as well as a third recording that never saw the light of day, Chris Smither finally returned in 1984 with It Ain't Easy. Armed simply with guitar and voice, Smither delivers a dozen tunes (14 on the CD reissue) that embody the best tradition of blues and folk. Whether it's his originals, ...

Johnny B. Goode [Legacy] (2000) more music like this

by Chuck Berry

It's safe to say that these performances released on Legacy (not the Sony/BMG label) are not the original singles. In fact, they aren't studio recordings at all. This is Chuck Berry live in what sounds like the '70s (it's impossible to know since there is absolutely no information given inside the booklet or on the outside of the cover) playing ...

This is the place to start listening to Chuck Berry. The Great Twenty-Eight was a two-LP, single CD compilation that emerged during the early '80s, amid a brief period in which the Chess catalog was in the hands of the Sugar Hill label, a disco-oriented outfit that later lost the catalog to MCA. It has proved to be one of the most enduring of all ...

Carl Perkins' 1978 album Ol' Blue Suede's Back was originally planned to be a concept album, narrated track by track by Perkins himself. The way it was originally issued, it felt just like Perkins playing the great rock hits of yesteryear. In the context of the CD that now includes the previously unreleased narration, it is a revelation and a ...
