CD Reviews

Man, what are you WAITING for?

Bruce Hutton | Mesa, Arizona | 02/25/2005

(5 out of 5 stars)

"It ain't been no 50 years since they made this music, baby, it's been like five minutes. These recordings are about the hippest cuts ever to come out of a CD player, and taken as a whole (44 tracks, count 'em) they will blow your mind clear to Nashville.

We are talking Elvis. We're talking Carl Perkins. We're talking Johnny Cash. Roy Orbison. Jerry Lee Lewis. Charlie Rich. Sonny Burgess, Ed Bruce, Bill Justis, Warren Smith, The Prisonaires, Tommy Blake, Ernie Chaffin, Billy Riley & His Little Green Men...I mean, man, the list goes ON. Sam Phillips discovered 'em ALL, I mean that boy must've had an ear made of gold.

Song after song. It ain't just Elvis and Johnny Cash, no way. Just listen to "Red Cadillac and a Black Moustache," or "High School Confidential," or "Drinkin' Wine," or the original "Mystery Train" and then Elvis' earth-shattering remake, and then listen to Carl Perkins tear through "Matchbox" and "Blue Suede Shoes"...check out "Red Headed Woman," then "Raunchy," then "Lonely Weekends," then "I'm Gonna Murder My Baby," (he did!) then slap your ears onto "Flying Saucers Rock & Roll," one of the most insanely fantastic rock songs of all time, and son they don't MAKE enough batteries to keep your CD player going when you start digging these cats. Just keep it going, one great tune after another, and that's life, man. That's what it's all about."
