Customer Reviews:

4 out of 5 stars 50 years of Rock and Roll, on cd .......2005-05-25

Last year was the 50 anniveristy of Rock and Roll, and the town of Memphis, someone from there, brought this cd out, with 21 tracks, inclduing 2 songs fom Elvis Presley, who lived in Memphis, along with some other places during his carrer, but he lived there for a long time. The cd also has songs from Roy Orbison & the Teen Kings, Johnny Cash and The Tennessee Two, Aretha Franklin, and Jerry Lee Lewis. The first songs were recored at Sam Philips's Sun Studios, but around track #10 or so, check the booklet that comes with, are songs that are from another recording studio. The cd has songs from the 50's, 60's and early 70's, and nothing too recent. So if you are a fan of these singers, maybe not all, this is denifly something you want to give a listen to. From songs like That's All Right, Ooby Dooby, Son Of A Preacher Man, and I'll Take You there. THe whole song list, and singers are

5 out of 5 stars All Good; Gimme More.......2004-12-03

Starting with "Rocket 88" with Ike Turner playing with his busted amp before R & B (OR rock and roll) were mainstream and ending up far down the line, this is all good stuff. I highly recommend it, and yes, there IS a lot of Memphis stuff here. I considered only 4 stars because how can you cover 50 years in 21 songs? They owe me but I'll gladly pay more for another 21 from the same time frame--if they're as good as these.
