4 out of 5 stars Remembering the 50's.......2007-03-29

I'm always looking for the 50's music that's so hard to find these days. This 2 CD set won't disappoint you.
If you're just starting out on a 50's music search, this is a great CD for your collection. Even if you already have some of these hits, it's worth it to get the ones you don't have.
Two examples are "You're So Fine" by the Falcons and "Happy, Happy Birthday Baby" by the Tune Weavers. Both songs are hard to find anywhere else. There's also the original version of "Love Potion #9", not to be confused with the British Invasion version some years later.
You really can't go wrong with this one.

5 out of 5 stars The New King Of Californian Cool.......2003-10-29

After the shut down of his previous label Permanent Press Walter Clevenger forms his own label Brewery and ends four years of silence with "Full Tilt & Swing". Imagine a world where The Raspberries, Buck Owens' Buckaroos , The Clarence White era Byrds and Brinsley Schwarz jam nightly and you're getting warm to "Full Tilt & Swing". Dominated by Clevenger's Nick Lowe-esque vocals and often witty songwriting and a band that loves to twang and thunder this is a CD for those who thought The Eagles eventual slickness gave L.A music a bad name. Hey, what's not to like? Non-dopey lyrics about love, guitars that take no prisoners and a front man who has real imagination...we have lift off. Just buy!!

5 out of 5 stars Damn Good Rock and Roll.......2005-12-05

It is a little rough (commercial release was apparently never planned), but it is very, very good. Jo Jo may have been crazy but the song is a standout, as are In a Heartbeat of Time and King of Hearts.
I have reservations about Heartbreak Hill, but only with the lyrics, not the singing or the sound.
Put it in the car, turn the volume up, and the opening riff of I'm Serious will suck you right in. I guarantee you will take the long way home so you can hear it all the way through!

5 out of 5 stars dion goes punk.......2003-06-10

the more i listen to this cd, the more i like it. dion is backed by a lean, mean rock band (the drumming is top-notch) and the songs are more hard rock than do-wop, even when he is doing "King of the New York Streets or "You Move me".
the overall sound reminds me of "eddie and the cruisers" band, with some echoes of zz top and the clash ( in other words, lots of edgy, guitar based rock n roll).
the opening cut,"I'm Serious" is worth the price of the album by itself,and the lyrics to "Jo Jo's crazy are a joy to listen to. all 11 songs are good to great, and , in summary, this is one great cd to play in your car at highway speed.

5 out of 5 stars dion fan.......2002-04-27

i have all of dions recordings either on cd or record i think this is one of his best- im sorry it took six years to get to hear the material on this cd - my thanks to ace for putting it out

5 out of 5 stars Hard rock with attitude........2002-03-15

The man certainly didn't receive his nick name" doo wop Sinatra"
for this cut. Hard rock fans will reval over this fast moving,
foot stomping set. For an old hand like me, it took some time to
appreciate every cut on this cd. However, it's great! Maybe it's
not Deja Nu, but it is the man with that attitude only he brings
to music.I gave my grandson a copy of Deja Nu, and he plays Shu Bop constantly. When he received a copy of " Live in New York"
he said to me, popa, is this Dion? Now he plays it constantly. So will you. Great cd, great sound, great attitude: Dion, what else can you say!

5 out of 5 stars Best Rock 'n' Roll I've Heard in Ages.......2002-02-22

This is the best rock 'n' roll record that I have heard in years. How many of today's recording artists have one-one-hundredth his talent? I hope he keeps on recording and performing.

    5 out of 5 stars Blue Suede Greatness!.......2000-08-10

    This is a very good compilation that is hard not to "boogie" to. You really can't find a Compilation with all these hits on it along, with a couple VERY under rated tracks that I never even knew about. Additionally, the sound quality is excelent, unlike many other similar recordings. TWO THUMBS UP!

              Album Description

              This recording represents the work of one of Memphis' most unique songwriters, Wally Ford. Backed by the ever-versatile Lizzard Kings, the energy of these nine songs is sometimes reminiscent of the Beatles, while at other times a collage of the 60s. All of the songs are fresh and original.
