Description
A tight, well-chosen CD snapshot of American rock and roll and pop at its most exuberant, pulling together ten era-defining performances from the 1950s and 1960s. The Beach Boys’ sun-drenched ‘I Get Around’ and Jan & Dean’s hot-rod classic ‘Drag City’ represent the California sound at its peak, while Eddie Cochran’s raw, rebellious ‘Summertime Blues’ and Gene Vincent’s wild ‘Be-Bop-A-Lula’ deliver pure rockabilly electricity. The collection balances its energy with the cool instrumental swagger of The Ventures’ ‘Walk-Don’t Run’ and the smoky blue-eyed soul of Classics IV’s ‘Spooky,’ making it a genuinely diverse tour through one of pop music’s most exciting decades…
