Customer Reviews:

Great Price-Great Tracks!.......2006-11-02

Hard to beat 60 great early rock 'n roll tracks for less than $20 dollars. Now, if you have Carl Perkins, Jerry Lee Lewis and Johnnny Cash's Greatest Hits (from Sun or others), you will be getting duplicates on about 20 tracks but that doesn't diminish the value much here from $20 - if you own the big Sun box set, there's nothing new here so you can skip these CD's.

There is no Elvis but come on, you should have a couple Elvis collections (after all, you only have about 200 CD's to choose from :-) ... plus there are some other Elvisish or flat-out Elvis impressions to choose from on these CD's.

The rest of the tracks from one-shot wonders to early rock 'n roll pioneers are all nice excellent tracks. There are a small handful of country & r&b blues tracks - all nice. There aren't many tracks from Sun's female artists but the few on here are all excellent.

This is a great price to fill in your collection.

Eseential rockabilly & jump blues!.......2004-02-20

Every rockabilly fan needs both volumes in this series(each have 3 discs), which is incredibly low priced. There is seminal recordings here by the greatest rockabilly bands including Jerry Lee Lewis' wild boogie-woogie inspired piano pounding(think of Willie the Lion Smith, but drunk!), Carl Perkins smooth vocals, and early Johnny Cash. Popualr artists are mixed with obscure ones, but the entire collections makes for an continually intruiging listen. There is mostly reockabilly, with a fre R&B, jump blues numbers. They are all great for dancing the jitterbug. This 3 cd set as well as it's companion Voulume 2, needs to be owned by all serious swing dancers, rockabilly babes, and gents. So grease up that pompadour in a nice dome and put this cd on, invite all your Bettie Page look alike gal pals from East LA over and dance the night away.

Must Have For Any Collection!.......2004-02-05

No matter what genre of music you enjoy, this is a MUST for any collection. I was So happy to find this CD! This CD displays the amazing talents of Rock & Roll, Blues, and Country History. From Carl Perkins, Roy Orbison, Charlie Rich, and The Man In Black, Johnny Cash, to the more obscure, such as Howlin' Wolf, Mystery Train, and The Prisionaires, this CD is outstanding! It is a great CD, no matter your age, appreciate the roots of American Music!
