Freddy Cannon Palisades Park (LP)

(2014/Rumble) 12 tracks
Freddy "Boom Boom" Cannon - as he came to be known for the trademark pounding drums and pulsating rhythm of his singles - was a Massachusetts native who became a star on the local Boston scene in the late 50s before being "discovered" by the late, great, Dick Clark who got him signed to Philadelphia's Swan Records.
Following a string of fairly successful singles, Cannon really hit the big-time with his 1962 classic, "Palisades Park" - the title track to this very album.
and a tribute to the famous New Jersey amusement park. As the music critic and legendary rocker, Cub Koda once wrote "Freddy Cannon was a true believer, a rocker to the bone." You need no further evidence of that than this classic LP.
