Various: Bear Family Records Rocks Vol. 1 (CD)

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

With more than 70 CD releases since 2002, the 'Rocks' series on Bear Family Records® is one of the most successful and extensive in our catalog.
Specializing in artist CDs full to the brim, 'Rocks' presents R&B pioneers as well as popular and obscure rockers of various origins.
The compilation 'Bear Family Records ROCKS, Vol. 1' provides a thorough overview of the genre - featuring 30 outstanding rocking jumping R&B, R'n'R and blues performers such as Bo Diddley, Chuck Berry, Fats Domino, Jimmy Reed, Slim Harpo, the Drifters, etc.
The 'Rocks' series is characterized by excellent sound quality and informative liner notes by Bill Dahl from Chicago - as is the case here with this extremely entertaining cross-section.

Bear Family’s mammoth series of ‘Rocks’ CDs have set a lofty standard for savage rocking. ‘Bear Family Records ROCKS, Vol. 1 - Rockers and Rhythm 'n' Blues From The 1950s’ is sure to rip the roof off any no-holds-barred juke joint soiree, its 30 selections ranging from New Orleans R&B legends Fats Domino, Lloyd Price, and Smiley Lewis to guitar scorchers Clarence ‘Gatemouth’ Brown and Bo Diddley.

Chuck Berry and Little Richard show why they’re regarded as the fathers of rock and roll, though their forefathers Big Joe Turner, Amos Milburn, and Roy Milton and His Solid Senders illustrate that jumping R&B thrived long before the emergence of either one of them.

The set offers plenty of rocking blues via Jimmy Reed, Little Junior Parker, Arthur ‘Big Boy’ Crudup, Champion Jack Dupree, and Slim Harpo, encompasses the era’s top vocal groups in the ‘50s R&B field with The Coasters, Drifters, Midnighters, “5” Royales, and Cadillacs, and pays loving tribute to the best lounge acts ever with storming entries by The Treniers and Louis Prima.

Every one of these 30 artists has his or her own entry in the ‘Rocks’ series save one: Johnny Otis, whose Good Golly makes it obvious that he deserves the honor in the not-too-distant future. Get ready to rock, jump, and roll with this one!

Customer evaluation for "Bear Family Records Rocks Vol. 1 (CD)"

From: Dusty Groove On: 14 Apr 2024

A hot host of killer R&B!

A hot host of killer rockabilly, R&B, and other smoking styles from the late 50s and early 60s – all pulled together in tribute to the long-running Rocks series from Bear Family records! The package has 30 tracks in all, the the blend of artists is really great, and shows just how much blues, R&B, and other pre-soul styles were important on the scene next to the rising wave of rockabilly and other early rock styles. And in fact, the package probably has more from those worlds of music than you'd expect from an collection that foregrounds the word "rock" – key proof that the name was initially lifted from black music, then used to peddle white pop as the years went on.
