Play 90 second soundbite of 'Electode'
by B B Cunningham @ 'CD quality'
'Great Rock'n'Roll Instrumentals - The original Rock'n'Roll Recordings 1950 - 1960' is an inspired compilation; I probably wouldn't have thought about getting this one sorted! But thankfully it's not only sorted but now available for all to hear and cherish. Sixty-three fantastic instrumental tracks on two great discs; blues, jazz, skiffle, rockabilly and rock'n'roll all on one album, all at one time, all absolutely as they were back then - what a pleasure to behold.
'Great Rock'n'Roll Instrumentals' is a really exciting work; all this wonderful material could so easily have been overlooked simply because of the natural trend towards the vocal offerings of the age. Every bit as exciting, every bit as enticing, every bit as worthy, 'Great Rock'n'Roll Instrumentals' just about fills in all the missing places that the other great albums in the series didn't quite fulfil - and what a great vibe and what a fantastic buzz this is! Because it's not genre specific (even though its title suggests it's just 'Rock'n'Roll'!) you've got yourselves something here that offers great variety and t'riffic flexibility; something for most moods, something that's easy on the ear and just so..well, superb!!
Educational and historical, 'Great Rock'n'Roll Instrumentals' gives a great insight into the hearts and minds of the musicians of that age; not content to just record the more obvious vocal tracks these 'guys' were brave enough to lay down their thoughts in music alone, a brave thing for those times methinks! Anyway up, 'Great Rock'n'Roll Instrumentals' is a must-have addition to the 'Just About As Good As It Gets' series, more than just worthy this is essential! Bloody great stuff this - I love it - think you will too!!
