Jerry Lee Lewis Bear Family

Johnny Burnette was at the heart of the Rock 'N' Roll revolution for ten years, both with his brother Dorsey as part of the Rock 'N' Roll Trio-considered by many the greatest rockabilly group of all time - & as a hit-making recording artist on his own. Given Johnny's importance, you wouldn't really want any other label but Bear Family to release the definitive retrospective on 9 CDs, is everything Johnny ever recorded. Not just released-recorded! That means all of his Rock 'N' Roll Trio recordings, classics like 'Train Kept A-Rollin', 'Lonesome Train (on a Lonesome Track', 'Rock Therapy', 'Honey Hush', & 'Tear It Up', his recordings for Imperial & Freedom/Liberty (complete for the first time), where he notched his hits 'Dreamin', 'You're Sixteen', and many more!

Telephones have been part of our lives for over a hundred years. Like automobiles, which appeared at roughly the same time, telephones had a massive impact on how we live from the very start. Not surprisingly, people sang about telephones almost as quickly as the devices appeared. Previous ‘Talkin’ on the Telephone’ collections have focused on hillbilly and R&B music (RWA 12524 and 12557). This long-awaited collection brings together Telephone Songs from the early days of rock & roll and teen pop music. Teenagers were becoming a force in the music business during the 1950s and rock & roll gave them a chance to sing about their newfound freedom. Talking on the telephone offered teenagers independence from parental oversight, and the birth of rock and roll gave them a chance to sing about it.

Although traveling on holiday is currently falling into the distance and while we are preparing to spend the summer holidays at home, the daydreams of summer and sun, of distant countries, of flourishing nature and bathing lakes, of beaches and the sea remain. A good support for these dreams is this extraordinary compilation. Specific songs on the subject from the years 1946 to 1964, rocking the jukebox in the dairy bar and of course monumentally singing about summer love. It is the perfect soundtrack for your barbecue in the back garden!

Willie Perryman went by two nicknames during his lengthy career, both of them thoroughly apt. He was known as Piano Red because of his albino skin pigmentation for most of his performing life. But they called him Dr. Feelgood during the '60s, and that's precisely what his raucous, barrelhouse-styled vocals and piano were guaranteed to do: cure anyone's ills and make them feel good.
