Rock on CD

2008 release. 'Let the Good Times Roll' is a Rock 'N' Roll milestone, inspiring film titles, book titles and two dozen versions from Soul to Mersey beat to Reggae. This collection presents unforgettable duets from the Golden Age of New Orleans R&B, 31 tracks from 'The Sweethearts of the Blues' at their rockin', rollin', carnival best. Shirley's voice ' it's been called 'a razorblade, a mix of comic distortions, sexual excitement, and gothic chill.' Featuring the sizzling New Orleans session men, including drummer Earl Palmer and tourist Lee Allen. Shirley & Lee Rock contains 31 of the duo's most blistering platters, drawing heavily on their Aladdin catalog but also encompassing a few delicious early '60s sides from their stints at Warwick and Imperial. And we can't leave off 'I'm Gone', even if it is a ballad; it closes this spectacular disc as a very welcome bonus track! Bear Family.
