Astonishing Good Taste!.......2006-08-18

For those of you who are interested in the roots of much of the music that's everywhere, this is a perfect starting place. Here are three discs to show you where almost all great pop music, Post World War II, came from. It couldn't have been picked much better. There are vocal groups, jump blues bands, and thank God, some country songs. They seem to have done a great job with licensing and all that too. I had quite a few of these records and got this as a recent birthday gift, but there was still plenty to thrill me.

One warning: You'll want to follow up by buying almost everything you can by these great artists. It's a happy disease.

"Roots of Rock&Roll.......2006-02-21

I've been collecting rock and roll for a long time, and there are some gems on this cd that I've never heard. This is a very concise,thoughtout, and meaningful collection. Oh to have been "back in the day" when these were filling the air-waves. This is a great cd. You will not go wrong.!

Discover Your Roots, Don't Dye Them!!!.......2006-02-04

Most of us cats n kitties out there know that rock n roll was created from white country music and black rhythm and blues. That may be the long and short of it, honeys, but the truth is that this great big 3-CD box set also contains numbers that might be considered jazz ("Hey! Ba-Ba-Re-Bop"), gospel ("Up Above My Head, I Hear Music In The Air"), musical theatre ("Ol' Man River"), comedy ("Riot In Cell Block #9"), and, of course, blues ("How Many More Years", "Hootchie Cootchie Man"). As a matter of fact, both country and r and b came from the blues, but that is a story best told another day. Roots of Rock N Roll: 1946-1954 contains all the above unforgettable performances plus too many more to mention, and the hip compilers at Hip-O records did a masterful job of assembling this assortment, guaranteed to reward listeners with hours of listening pleasure. A great collection, to be sure. However, in the interest of better informing the potential buyer, I feel I must add a couple of cautions. One: Although there are relatively few country selections (maybe half a dozen or so), I realize that country music is a polarizing genre, which means that some listeners really LOVE it and some really HATE it. These particular tracks, from Hank Williams "Move It On Over" (later covered by George Thorogood), to Hank Snows "I'm Movin' On" (later recorded live by The Rolling Stones---look it up!) are pretty soulful, but if you are put off by "steel guitars and a twang" at all, then you may not like them. Two: When you come right down to it, some of these choices don't stand the test of time. Example: Johnny Ray may be seen as an influence on both The Four Seasons and Dion and the Belmonts, but I confess I'm rather bewildered why his rather ordinary pop song "Cry" spent so many weeks atop the charts. And while Faye Adams recording of "Shakes A Hand" created tremors throughout the South when whites and blacks dared to risk arrest by reaching across segregated dance floors to shake hands every time this song was played, the truth is it's not that great a number. And while we're on the subject: "Shotgun Boogie" may showcase Tennessee Ernie Ford's cornpone persona to perfection, but "Sixteen Tons" would have been a much better choice; the latter number is one of the finest fusions of country, pop, gospel, and r and b ever recorded, and it's omission from this collection is a glaring one. Finally, the collection bogs down at times with too many slow numbers. For my money, the compilers could have doubled the number of jump blues songs and made a better collection. Still, don't let these rather minor troubles worry you. Rather, get this collection and marvel at how anyone could be a "Sixty Minute Man", find out where Elvis got his "Hound Dog" from, and, most of all, delight in the unstoppable energy of trains in such unforgettable classics as "Freight Train Boogie" and "Choo Choo Ch'Boogie"!! OUTASITE!!! So get Roots of Rock N Roll today and party down while deciding whether or not to dye your own roots!! Crazy, Man, Crazy!!!!

Great collection offers the real history!.......2004-04-29

Typically, we're asked to believe that rock and roll started with Elvis. Or that rock and roll was, more than anything else, an evolutionary variation on country music. Or that rock and roll represented (and continues to represent) a white-black fusion.

Certainly, this collection lays waste to the first two notions. In his informative liner notes, Pete Grendysa tells us that rock and roll existed long before the main (i.e. middle-class white) record-buying public knew about it. And the country examples are relatively few. I'd have been happy if they were none, but I can live with the well-chosen examples here.

In particular, Hank William's "Move It On Over," while not exactly rock and roll (a two-beat pulse doesn't qualify as such, to my ears), does feature a verse identical to the first four bars of "Rock Around the Clock." And, like Hank Snow's "I'm Movin' On" (Disc 2, track 4), it is a hillbilly boogie in standard twelve-bar blues form. It's not far from the mark.

And The Delmore Brother's "Freight Train Boogie," from 1946, turns into pure Carl Perkins near the end, easily out-rocking anything Elvis recorded at Sun. Having heard other Delmore Brothers sides that aren't anything like rock and roll, I was surprised and delighted by this number.

But the black recordings are the real, and whole, point of this collection. Such sides have far too often been disgracefully dismissed by too many rock historians as primitive, artistically-incomplete efforts by African-American musicians struggling toward something higher--"something higher" meaning, of course, Elvis. But listen for yourself. Most of these African-American numbers rock with the force of a thousand Elvises. And these are not performances striving to become whole; they are more than whole. The musicianship, for the most part, is assured and aggressive and infinitely more competent than some of what was to come after rock and roll had conquered the pop charts.

Many thanks to the genius who thought to include Lionel Hampton's 1946 if-it-ain't-rock-and-roll-what-the-heck-is-it masterpiece "Hey! Ba-Ba-Re-Bop" (with its wonderful, be-boppy jazz piano chords in eight-note triplets at the start). Many more thanks for Jimmy Preston's 1949 recorded-in-an-insane-asylum "Rock the Joint" (however did Bill Haley manage to tame this tune down so drastically?). More thanks, even, for Hal Singer's proto-surf "Cornbread" (1948), Percy Mayfield's masterful "Please Send Me Someone to Love" (1950), and Ruth Brown's superbly soulful "Teardrops from My Eyes" (1950, again--a great year for Soul).

The best compilation of its kind. If you want to know the real Story of Rock and Roll, you've got to hear the records. And they're here.

This double disc collects all the earliest sides recorded by the fabulous quartet act the Swan Silvertones. Led by insanely talented tenor/falsetto Claude Jeter, the Swan Silvertones are simply one of the best bands to have ever sung gospel, or put more succinctly, to have ever sung, period. From originals to traditional hymns, this collection is fierce, fiery, and brilliant throughout. No one matches Jeter's far-reaching voice. Songs like "I Done Made It Up In My Mind" and "All Aboard" end just as it sounds like they're about to explode in an ecstatic frenzy. That control, that ability to bring a song to its near dissolution then back away, is in full effect on nearly every song here, with the exception of the slow numbers such as "I'm Tired" and "Will the Circle Be Unbroken." And those just might have you weeping if you're not careful. This is a very powerful and much needed selection of this great group's 78 RPM recordings. Oh, happy day! -Mike McGonigal

Customer Reviews:

A Great Quartet finds its voice. .......2006-03-25

This CD documents one of the great gospel quartets finding their true voice in recordings made for King Records of Cincinnati from 1946 through 1951. On Disc One the first sessions in July 1946 and December 1947 show the elements being assembled, but not yet perfected. Jeter later claimed that King wanted more "hillbilly" material like their first two cuts, "Crying Holy" and "Will the Circle Be Unbroken", and resisted the group's push for a more hard gospel sound. There is a popping, swinging "jubilee" style ensemble, with tenor leads also in the jubilee style, at times just hinting at harder gospel. Bassist Henry Bossard is added after the first session to improve the bottom end. The last cut on Disc One, "Use Me Lord", is a fairly weak cover of the R.H. Harris and the Soul Stirrers classic "I'm Willing to Run". Had they ended here, we would probably not remember them.

But on Disc Two, starting with the June 13, 1949 session, it all comes together. The popping "jubilee" ensemble can now produce whip crack syncopations as in "My God's Getting Us Ready", that build tremendous drive and is sharp enough to compare to the Golden Gates. Claude Jeter's falsetto technique can carry a beautiful number like "I'm Gonna Wait". And the third cut, from June 23, 1950, adds the final missing piece, a true "hard gospel" lead, identified in the liner notes as the Reverend Percell Perkins, although Jeter says elsewhere that Solomon Womack was his favorite lead. Whoever you credit it to, you now have the classic Swan Silvertones sound - a razor sharp ensemble, a searing hard lead, and a soaring Claude Jeter falsetto. Tony Heilbut in "The Gospel Sound" says that Claude Jeter didn't much like the King recordings, but I think that Disc Two is an essential piece of any Swan Silvertones collection, along with the Specialty recordings on "My Rock/Love Lifted Me" and the VeeJay sessions on "Swan Silvertones/Savior Pass Me Not".

The production is solid, with good liner notes and an informative 6 page booklet.

A wonderful selection of early recordings.......2005-08-17

I grabbed this box set because it was on sale cheap and my favorite song is "Stardust". Little did I know what a great investment I had made.
I am only in my early 20s, so I was hearing all of these recordings for the first time and I wasn't disappointed. It's too bad this particular collection of CDs seems to be obscure and overlooked when you search for Hoagy Carmichael's music on Amazon. Don't let that fool you; it is great. There are 101 sides here, including recordings by the great Louis Armstrong, the Boswell sisters, Fats Waller, and many with Hoagy himself. The songwriter's own version of "Stardust" is wonderful.
Also, this is the first set I have gotten from JSP Records, so I was pleasantly surprised to find the HUMONGOUS booklet of liner notes which came with this set. It was compiled by Hoagy's personal autobiographer and gives background and analysis for each of the recordings. It is so thorough, it's too thick for me to carry in my regular CD carrying case! All in all, this compilation of recordings from 1924-1946 are terrific and show a wonderful progression in the history jazz and also the works of one of the greatest songwriters of all time.

LIBERTAD LAMARQUE "COLECCION 78 R.P.M. (1937-1946).......2006-07-15

Born in Argentina to an anarcho-syndicalist she was named "Libertad" by her father, which means "freedom" in spanish.

Its Like The Instruments are singing!.......2003-05-25

This is a great Hot Jazz, Bebop, Hot Jazz box set. I recommend this to anyone who loves music of the 1940s. This music will get you up dancing. A lot of the bands are forgotten, but they're remembered again through this box set. I wish they would make music like this today- Instrumental music. Its like the Instruments are singing. You'll enjoy this. If you don't I give your money back! Guaranteed=)

A Delightful Swingin' Surprise.......2003-02-09

This is an upbeat collection that really swings with energy (very few ballads over three CD's). Most live performances from this period are pretty low on sound quality, these CD's are an exception with surprising quality (fidelity), a really great collection at an unbeatable price. If you enjoy big band swing that rocks, check these out.

Customer Reviews:

Not essential, but..........2007-01-24

a great flavoring of the post-war So Cal scene, peppered with the Texas imports. You get a good picture of where jump blues was going and what "cocktail blues" was becoming. Especially nice if you like the underrated guitar stylings of Tiny Webb.
