Rock Instrumental Classics, Vol. 1: The Fifties

Rock Instrumental Classics, Vol. 1: The Fifties (1994) more music like this

by Various Artists

Rhino begins yet another concept line with 18 tasty instrumentals from the rock era. It's the first of a five-volume set devoted to this genre, and they certainly picked the right era to launch it. From Duane Eddy's shuddering guitar riffs and Link Wray's rumbling licks to Lee Allen's honking sax lines and bleating phrases, Dave "Baby" Cortez's ...

Rockin' Bones: 1950s Punk and Rockabilly

Rockin' Bones: 1950s Punk and Rockabilly (2006) more music like this

by Various Artists

It's easy to look at Rhino's four-disc 2006 box Rockin' Bones: 1950s Punk and Rockabilly and confuse it with the label's 1999 four-disc box Loud, Fast & Out of Control: The Wild Sounds of '50s Rock. It has the same garish neo-pulp artwork, covers the same era, and even has several of the same songs, usually big hits like Eddie Cochran's ...

How to Make a Monster

How to Make a Monster (2004) more music like this

by The Cramps

Part of the beauty of the Cramps is the consistency of their vision -- since 1976, their body of work has been one long fever dream of kinky sex, bug-eyed monsters, and switchblade-wielding juvies, married to the primal twang of an electric guitar and the malevolent thud of a drum kit. While the quality of their work has run through some peaks and ...

I Love Rock & Roll: Hits of the '50s

I Love Rock & Roll: Hits of the '50s (1996) more music like this

by Various Artists

I Love Rock & Roll: Hits of the '50s is an excellent mid-line collection that contains 20 hits. Although the packaging is a little skimpy, all of the recordings are the original hit versions, which makes the compilation an excellent choice for casual listeners and the budget-minded. Among the highlights on Hits of the '50s are Jerry Lee Lewis' ...

Rumble! The Best of Link Wray

Rumble! The Best of Link Wray (1993) more music like this

by Link Wray

Finally, a multi-label Link Wray collection spanning his lengthy career is available. Starting, appropriately enough, with "Rumble," Rumble! The Best of Link Wray illustrates through its 20 tracks (15 on cassette) that Wray was indeed one of the pioneering guitarists of rock & roll, expanding the sonic possibilities of the instrument with a ...

Smokin' in the Boy's Room: The Best of Brownsville Station

Smokin' in the Boy's Room: The Best of Brownsville Station (1993) more music like this

by Brownsville Station

A roaring romp through Brownsville Station's back pages compiled by Cub Koda himself, Smokin' in the Boy's Room: The Best of Brownsville Station makes a convincing case that these Ann Arbor, MI, garage punks were one of the most underrated rock & roll bands of the 1970s.

D.A. Sebasstian

D.A. Sebasstian (2001) more music like this

by D.A. Sebasstian

The first solo album by former Kill Switch...Klick founder D.A. Sebastian is a guitar/synth-driven dose of futuristic industrial blues, with touches of house, ambient, and even hip-hop. His forays into the latter category, such as the Chili Pepper-like white-boy rap of "Isabella Rossellini," are the least successful, sounding almost embarrassingly ...

Boss Guitar

Boss Guitar (1997) more music like this

by Duane Eddy

The low, twangy, and reverbed tone of Duane Eddy's late-'50s and early-'60s guitar instrumentals is now such an established sound that it's easy to forget how novel it was when Eddy first rolled onto the scene. This 26-track set touches some of the high points from those early years, including the wonderful "Rebel Rouser" and the cough-syrup-slow ...

Get Nervous! (2000) more music like this

by Bailey's Nervous Kats

Six of these 26 tracks are taken from rare 1959-1961 singles, but the heavy majority of them are previously unissued cuts, both studio and live. No dates given for those unreleased items, but from the sound of things it can be gathered that they're from roughly the same era. It's fairly primitive and repetitive, though not incompetent, guitar ...

The Best Jukebox Album in the World...Ever! (2000) more music like this

As its somewhat hyperbolic title promises, The Best Jukebox Album in the World... Ever! collects some of the best singles from the '50s and '60s, including Duane Eddy's "Rebel Rouse," the Troggs' "Wild Thing," Booker T & the MGs' "Green Onions," and the Zombies' "She's Not There." Del Shannon's "Runaway," Gene Vincent's "Be-Bop-A-Lula," and the ...

While there was a 20-track 1992 compilation devoted to Wray's Epic work (Walkin' With Link), this two-CD, 46-song set more than doubles the volume. It not only sweeps up some stray previously released cuts that eluded the previous album, but also adds 17 previously unissued outtakes, demos, and alternates, along with rare singles by the Ponies, ...

Rock & Roll: 50th Anniversary Collection (2004) more music like this

The Madacy label rarely put out excellent collections, often resorting to poor material and lightweight running times, but this two-disc set is a solid exception to the rule. Rock & Roll: 50th Anniversary Collection celebrates the golden anniversary of rock & roll (or, put better, the date of its first impact on the charts) and functions as a very ...

by The Lively Ones

This CD contains the Lively Ones' first two albums, Surf Rider! and Surf Drums, both originally released in 1963. During their brief tenure on the indie Del-Fi label, they issued no less than four long-players in addition to a dozen or so singles, the vast majority during the same year as the LPs heard here. The five-piece unit was led by soloists ...

Live Bird '65-'67 (1990) more music like this

by The Trashmen

Although marketed as a surf band, Minnesota's Trashmen were decidedly landlocked by geography, but not by spirit. The group's odd mix of surf, R&B, sneering garage pop, and psychotic instrumentals made them one of the most eccentric and interesting of the groups that sprang up around the surf craze of the early '60s. This delightful collection of ...

Teen Beat, Vol. 1 (1993) more music like this

by Various Artists

30 instrumentals from the late '50s and early '60s, the era when instrumental rock was at its peak. Most of these were hits, though a few of them didn't make the Top 20, and some didn't even make the Top 100. Hence the selections are often more obscure than what you'll find on Rhino's Rock Instrumentals series. The Rhino series, however, remains ...
