Customer Reviews:

5 out of 5 stars Brilliant concept hits on all cylinders.......2005-08-12

On this, the most cohesive album of Roy Wood's career with Wizzard (or solo for that matter), he hit upon an idea to celebrate the music and artists that inspired him in the 1950s and 1960s. And so, with entirely new and original material, Wood and band set out to pay tribute sonically to artists such as Del Shannon, Elvis Presley, Phil Spector, Neil Sedaka, and many more. Not only is it credible in terms of approximating the vibes, but there are some excellent tunes here. "This is the Story of My Love" is an absolutely gorgeous perfect pop song as is "Everyday I Wonder." I love the Duane Eddy tribute instrumental, "Eddy's Rock." There are some nice retro-rockers here also, including "Brand New 88," "I Dun Lotsa Cryin Over You," and especially "We're Gonna Rock n' Roll Tonite." The bonus tracks are really great to have, although thematically, only "Are You Ready to Rock?" really fits with the rest of the CD...the others are all collected singles and rarities. Give it a go, and discover why Roy Wood and Wizzard were all the rage in the UK from 1972-1975.

5 out of 5 stars Are YOU ready to Rock.......2001-01-28

The album cover creates an instant image of the music you can expect to hear when you put "Intro Ducing Eddy And The Falcons " into your CD Player. It is steeped in rock and roll.

Roy Wood has produced an excellent album, plagerising the styles of many of the big names of the late 50's and early 60's.

We hear on track 2 "the sound of Duanne Eddy" titled Eddies Rock, Roy even plagerises himself in track 3 Brand New 88 rightly decribed as a rewrite of California Man. As in several of Wizzards chart hits You Got Me Runnin is a tribute to the style of Phil Spector. Even Elvis Presley attracted the attention of Wood in "I Dun Lots a Cryin". Every day I Wonder is a wonderful representation of the style of Del Shannon, in Crazy Jeans, Wood tries to emulate Gene Vincent and almost gets there. He manages a better representation of Neil Sedaka in Come Back Karen. The final track on the album is We're Gonna Rock This Town Tonight was covered by Cheap Trick in thier 1990 album "Busted", it again has the sound of the Move through out.
