Hi-Fi Rock 'N' Roll Party

Description

Hi-Fi Rock ‘N’ Roll Party is a rollicking CD compilation drawing together some of the most electrifying names from the golden age of rock ‘n’ roll and doo-wop. Little Richard tears into ‘Tutti Frutti’ with his trademark untamed energy, while The Everly Brothers deliver the irresistible ‘Wake Up Little Susie’ and Dion appears twice — with the brooding swagger of ‘The Wanderer’ and the street-corner charm of ‘Runaround Sue’. Beyond the household names, the disc rewards deeper listeners with gems like Jesse Belvin’s silky ‘Goodnight My Love (Pleasant Dreams)’, Link Wray’s menacing ‘Deuces Wild’, and the buoyant New Orleans feel of Frankie Ford’s ‘Sea Cruise’. Spanning rhythm and blues, doo-wop, Creole rock, and early pop, this 20-track CD is a well-curated snapshot of American music at its most joyful and vital…
