Louis Prima: Louis Prima - Rocks (CD)

1-CD-Album Digipak with 40-page booklet, 30 tracks. Playing time approx. 82 mns.

The godfather of cool - Louis Prima!
The greatest hits of lounge rock 'n' roll!
Features the original honkin' sax man, Sam Butera!

'I'm not trying to say that Louis Prima, Keely Smith and Sam Butera had any appeal for 50s teens,' writes Billy Vera in his liner notes. 'They did not, but what they were playing was, in every other sense, rock 'n' roll. Rocking music for the working guys who were past high school and unlikely to attend college.'

Louis Prima came out of New Orleans and his high energy music was, as Billy Vera says, rock 'n' roll in all but name, so Louis Prima well and truly belongs in our acclaimed ROCKS! series. Out of fashion for years, Louis Prima came back with a vengeance as the unseen star of a movie, 'Big Night,' and the godfather of the Nineties Swing craze when rocker David Lee Roth revived his 'Just A Gigolo/I Ain't Got Nobody' and clubs and young bands played this music for a whole new generation of dancers who dressed in the clothes of an earlier, hipper time. Writer Nick Tosches was the first to rehabilitate Louis Prima: 'He presaged the Rock 'n' Roll of the ridiculous. Louis Prima perceived and embraced in all its tutti-frutti glory, the spirit of post-literate, made-for-television America.'

To that, we can only say Zooma-Zooma!

High quality recordings, careful packaging. It's perfect.

One of the best record companies for reissuing music from the 1950s.

Top man, top quality, top fun, a killer release!!!

From: Redecker On: 13 Mar 2014

This is truly the most fun set of good time music.
Blue Suede Shoes # 100 Gaby Maag-Bristol

From: Redecker On: 13 Mar 2014

Ein Konglomerat aus Rock 'n' Roll, New Orleans Jazz und italienischer Lebensfreude lassen die Füße wippen und die Finger schnippen. Wer dabei ruhig bleiben kann, sollte die Finger von dieser klasse Veröffentlichung lassen!
R & R Musikmagazin 1/2013 H.G. Hartig

From: Redecker On: 13 Mar 2014

Absolutes Must-have!
ACCES 12-12/01-13 Killer

From: Redecker On: 13 Mar 2014

It isn't necessarily a best-of or even the best of his more raucous material, but it's certainly the longest such compilation anywhere in those ballparks, with good annotation.
