Andi ChorleyBrownie McGhee and Sonny Terry Sing by
Brownie McGhee and Sonny Terry, released in 1958 on Folkways.
Folkways wrote:
"The acoustic music duo of guitarist Brownie McGhee and harmonicist Sonny Terry were named National Heritage Fellows in 1982 in recognition of their distinctive musical contributions and accomplishments. Although primarily considered to be blues musicians, McGhee and Terry transcended the genre by including American folk songs and ballads in their repertoire. This 1958 recording, their first for the Folkways label, provides a small but inspiring example of the range of Americana and down-home blues music the duo performed throughout their 40-year partnership."

Other Worlds Other Sounds by Esquivel And His Orchestra, released on RCA Victor in 1958.
AMG Review
Other Worlds Other Sounds may be the best known Esquivel album because of its sensational jacket art portraying a red-caped woman prancing across a green planetary landscape. Its real significance is as the moment where Esquivel takes control of his production and develops his signature sound. The chorus (the Randy Van Horne Singers) begins the “zu zu zu” nonsense beloved by Esquivel fans, and the playfulness with stereophonic separation begins here…. This is the promise of the future.

Bruce Eder of AllMusic gave this album three and a half stars out of five. He was critical of Davis' low-key performance but stated, "the singing in a reflective, almost introspective manner is good enough to carry the entertainment load." - Wikipedia

The Everly Brothers is the 1958 eponymous debut album of close harmony singing duo the Everly Brothers.
"Wake Up Little Susie", song No. 311, was controversial enough as to be banned in Boston with its story of a teen couple who fall asleep during a boring film and wake far past curfew.
In a retrospective review for Allmusic, Richie Unterberger writes of the album "Although the Everlys hadn't quite fully matured as artists, their debut is a fine, consistent effort divided between original material and respectably energetic covers of early rockers by Little Richard, Gene Vincent, and Ray Charles."
