So I've been just about chained to my desk the last 3 weeks during the busy season and ran my CD collection through too many times. Figured I needed some new music, and since
Fat Wreck's summer offerings have been weak, I headed out looking to go back in time a bit.
Picked up
Rock N Roll Is Here To Stay on the... Newsound? label.
Jerry Lee Lewis, Del Shannon, Ventures, Coasters, Bobby Vee, Duane Eddy, the Juniors, etc doing their signature songs (except the Everly Bros song is "Claudette" and the Elvis song is "There's Good Rockin' Tonight"
This CD should REALLY have mentioned that all songs were performed live, many songs were mastered on CANDLE wax and recorded when the performers were drunk, stoned or dead.
Waste of $5.99.
Also bought the 2 CD
The Essential Johnny Cash - got it for a good price and it fills in some of my holes in his music (mainly the stuff with June/the Carter Family) that saved the night's purchases.
