He rocked harder than any jump blues bandleader, his band hitting the downbeat with a vengeance matched only by Turner's full-throated roar. This was big-band blues in sound but not in style; it was rock \u0026amp; roll before there was a name for it. Bear Family's 2011 set Rocks concentrates on his hardest-swinging R\u0026amp;B, leaning hard on Turner's classic sides for Atlantic: \"Roll 'Em Pete\"; \"Honey Hush\"; \"Flip, Flop and Fly\"; and \"Shake, Rattle and Roll,\" which Bill Haley sweetened up for the first crossover rock \u0026amp; roll single. There's no saccharine sweetness here, just thundering R\u0026amp;B, with the tracks dipping into his latter career just enough to prove that Turner was no few-years dynamo -- he was a force of nature who could still deliver after his time passed. There are other collections that perhaps serve up the expected hits in a cleaner fashion, but this has the big, bold infectious swing of the man at his best. ~ Stephen Thomas Erlewine","brand":"MovieMars","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":50919226999071,"sku":"4000127172150","price":28.95,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0679\/7833\/0399\/files\/7250d9bea1d2d5e41546c26a90b7a627_f0d7612a-a934-4ff8-9fb7-924293ce4043.jpg?v=1777874718","url":"https:\/\/www.moviemars.com\/products\/rocks-15","provider":"MovieMars","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
