Fortune Records – Rockin’ Detroit: Raw Rockabilly & Wild Rock ’n’ Roll

Fortune was more than just a legendary Detroit label - it was the independent powerhouse in Motown City long before Motown Records put Detroit on the global music map. From the late 1940s through the mid-1960s, the small Fortune studio produced music of striking immediacy and grit. Nothing was polished, nothing diluted. Country, rockabilly, rock ’n’ roll and rhythm & blues were recorded side by side, captured in a raw, driving sound that still hits with full force today.

This CD - with a second volume already in preparation - focuses on the unfiltered Fortune sound in the realm of hard-hitting rockabilly and wild rock ’n’ roll. The opening track sets the tone perfectly: Dell Vaughn’s Rock The Universe, a true classic that encapsulates the explosive energy of the Fortune studio.

Fortune launched and nurtured an impressive roster of artists, including the York Brothers, Johnny Powers, Pete DeBree, Roy Hall, and Andre “Bacon Fat” Williams. Though Williams was primarily known for his rhythm & blues recordings, he also cut ferocious rock ’n’ roll sides for Fortune - performances so intense they seemed ready to shake the studio walls. That stylistic openness became part of the Fortune identity.

Much of the label’s output - including releases on its subsidiary labels Hi-Q and Strate 8 - was recorded with an in-house studio band featuring rotating musicians. One of the key session players was guitarist Eddie Jackson, a core member of the Fortune sound. Included here is an extremely rare recording originally issued as the sole release on Jackson’s own Caravan label - a fitting addition given his integral role within the Fortune family.

This compilation is not nostalgia - it is a powerful document of a time when music was direct, loud and unapologetically real. It rocks from start to finish - and that’s exactly what made Fortune, Hi-Q and Strate 8 legendary.

The CD comes with a deluxe 36-page full-color booklet, packed with rare photos, illustrations and a comprehensive label history expertly written by Chicago music authority Bill Dahl.
