Liner Note Authors: Cavan Syrad; Michael Heatley.
Recording information: 1953-1960.
Early rock & roll was in love with motion, cars, Saturday nights, dancing, and, of course, young love, and as a genre, initially embraced by teens, it gradually took over and reshaped pop radio between 1955 and 1960, the period covered by this generous three-disc, 75-track collection. Every track here is a classic of the time period, but some of the clear highlights include the Penguins' "Earth Angel," Chuck Berry's "Maybelline," Fats Domino's "Ain't That a Shame," Frankie Lymon's "Why Do Fools Fall in Love," Little Willie John's "Fever," Buddy Holly's "That'll Be the Day," Duane Eddy's "Rebel Rouser," Roy Orbison's "Only the Lonely," and the Ventures' "Walk Don't Run," among many other timeless gems. It's a fun collection, it's history, and, oh yeah, you can dance to it. ~ Steve Leggett
