Benny Joy: Benny Joy - Rocks (CD)

1-CD Digipak with 36-page booklet, 30 tracks. Total playing time approx. 79 min.

Bear Family Records® dedicates a CD album in its popular Rocks series to Benny Joy.
For the first time ever, this R'n'R compilation combines his outstanding 1950s singles with a multitude of fantastic rocking band demos first released in the '70s and '80s!
In addition to classics like Miss Bobby Sox, Crash The Party, Spin The Bottle, Button Nose, Rollin' The Juke Box Rock and Little Red Book, Bear Family also provides lesser-known gems like Wild Wild Lover, Gossip, Gossip, Gossip, I'm Gonna Move, Love Zone, two instrumental rockers Money, Money and Rebel Rock and and and ...!
Carefully remastered edition; the beautifully illustrated booklet contains detailed liner notes by Roland Heinrich.

Benny Joy, who was born on November 5, 1935 in Atlanta, Georgia and whose real name was Benjamin Eidson, was an American rock & roll and rockabilly singer who released singles for Tri-Dec, Dixie, Antler, Ram and Decca during his music career. In 1958, Joy managed to be one of the first rockabilly singers to be part of a European tour, alongside the Platters, Barry DeVorzon and numerous other artists. The tour went through Italy, France and Germany, among other countries.

Benny Joy unfortunately failed to achieve commercial musical success and his singles are highly sought after in collector circles today, but he did have success as a songwriter under his civil name Benny Eidson and wrote songs for Marty Robbins, Jackie Wilson, Charlie Rich, Johnny Cash and Carl Smith, among others - and quite successfully!

With the rock & roll and rockabilly revival of the 1970s and 1980s, his recordings were made available to the rock & roll public and hit like a bomb!

Bear Family Records® focuses primarily on the rare demo recordings from 1957/'58 unearthed by Cees Kloop and White Label from the 1970s onwards, which are of incredibly good quality and recorded with a full band.

Benny Joy died of cancer in October 1988 at the age of 52.

Customer evaluation for "Benny Joy - Rocks (CD)"

From: Lambert On: 14 Apr 2024

This compilation proves that Benny Joy was an excellent rocker.

Many of his songs have so much hit potential that it remains a mystery why they didn't become hits. In any case, it was not due to the song quality and performance. Benny is still 'unknown and unloved' for many. Fortunately, compilations like this change that. You can read more about Benny as well as the tracks in the 32-page awesome executed booklet.
