Description
Wilbert Harrison carved his name into rock and roll history with ‘Kansas City’, a raw, irresistible rhythm and blues record that topped the charts in 1959 and became one of the most covered songs of the era. This CD brings together an expansive 22-track collection showcasing Harrison’s gritty, good-humoured vocal style and his deep roots in the blues and R&B traditions of the American South. Highlights span the celebratory bounce of ‘Let’s Stick Together’, the classic ‘C.C. Rider’, and the swaggering ‘Since I Fell For You’, alongside rare and lesser-known sides that reveal the full range of his talents. For fans of classic R&B and early rock and roll, this is an essential document of one of the genre’s most distinctive and underappreciated voices…
