Press - track by Ike Turner (She Made My Blood Run Cold, with a doo-woop choir and vocals by pianist Clayton Love), Nashville rockabilly by Dave Rich (Chicken House) and the stratospheric falsetto of Donnie Elbert with Wild Child on Deluxe. So roll out the carpet and once dinner is over, offer your guests a little session of dancing, bop, twist or blues, not forgetting to snap your fingers!
Press -The icing on the cake includes obscure recordings by artists such as Merle Kilgore, Eddie Banks and Barbara McNair, while the socially critical country/folk song “Sixteen Tons” is represented twice: once in the 1955 hit version by Tennessee Ernie Ford and once by The Platters. Rock'n'roll, doo wop and ballads complete the excursion into the 1950s and early 1960s. The 38-page booklet, which contains a lot of discographic details, is also visually tastefully presented. The sound is, as usual with Bear Family, great.
