3/3

Wake Up Little Susie is the other huge single from this album, a very strong record and a good mix of pop, rock n roll and country

The Best of Little Walter by Little Walter

I believe this is a compilation of singles and B-sides released by Little Walter in the early to mid 50’s.

Little Walter was a singer, guitar player and harmonica player. The songs are blues inspired with little touches of rock added in. I’m a sucker for stuff like this so have really enjoyed this record

3/3

There’s a sense of fun throughout the album and an enjoyment of playing these songs. Hush Your Mouth displays the classic Bo Diddley Beat with emphasised drums, Diddley Daddy’s guitar sound is something I want to hear more of while Who Do You Love is direct yet open.

I’ve loved this album for a few years now and that’s not going to be changing anytime soon. A true masterpiece

2/2

There’s a couple of slower songs here aren’t to my tastes but show off Jay Hawkins’ incredible singing voice and also mix up the tempo of the album.

The “Chirping” Crickets by Buddy Holly and The Crickets

I love this album. Wall to wall great songs and it’s easy to see why Buddy Holly became such an inspiration for so many people.

The perfect mesh of pop and 50’s rock in one record. The high pitched backing vocals are really something. The songs about pure young romance paint an earnest picture but I’m a sucker for this done well.

Cash’s deep voice is always great to hear even if his delivery can get repetitive. This is a minor criticism on an otherwise great little record. I was a little surprised to see both I Walk The Line and Folsom Prison Blues on this album, I hadn’t realised that two of his biggest songs happened this early on. A record definitely worth checking out

3/3

The album is mainly about love, sex and enjoying life as a young person, and rarely has it been matched. Very much the Rock to Fats Domino’s Roll

Airegin is quicker again with Paul Chambers hammering away on the bass the star of the show for me. The musicianship on show here really is top class.

A drums opening to Tune Up and it’s even more frenetic than before. The record is sublime with the tempo going up and up on each song

4/4

This is a fine collection of songs. The idea of an album wasn’t really mainstream at this time, there’s a good bunch here though and I’ve enjoyed listening to this
