5 out of 5 stars Knee Slappin' Fifties Fun.......2006-11-19

I wanted to hear a song I heard a couple of years before I was married called, "Bring me a little water Sylvie." I was so surprised when up popped this CD set of 3 with the song on it!

It's noisy, but a lot of fun ~ especially Sylvie CD #2, but if you've lived long and full of years, as I have, you'll probably recognize many of the tunes on the three CDs. If not, you're in for a surprisingly good time! I remember "jitterbugging" to the incessantly vigorous drum beat.

It made me miss my father-in-law, who's passed on ~ he would have been doing a falsetto to it, and either "playing the spoons" or playing a washboard; he was the classic "knee-slapper," and an excellent dancer! This album brought back some happy old memories!

5 out of 5 stars Brings back the memories!.......2005-10-22

This is a fun CD, with a lot of great old songs from 1955-1961. Most of the material has a bluegrass-rockabilly feel to it, and will bring a grin to your face and get your feet tapping. Recording quality is a bit uneven from song to song. Overall, I'd rate this CD at 4.5 stars; I'm giving it 5 because the only other reviewer gave it 4 and I wanted to bring the averagre score up to 4.5.

4 out of 5 stars Almost Complete Collection.......2004-05-13

Whether you are a fan, or not even familiar with the music of Lonnie Donegan, or Skiffle in general, this is a great introductory album. Unfortunately only available as an import, this will probably remain a "speciality" item which is a real shame. My only complaint would be that this repackaged collection of 19 of his best known hits, can get a little repetitious as many of the songs are similar in length and chord arrangements, but the strangely upbeat folk / blues / pop overtones rapidly become infectious. Those thinking of taking a chance on ordering should know that even with 19 tracks on board, running time is not that long, as most of the tunes are 3 minutes or less (as was the way back then I presume). However, if you want to hear some of the music that helped inspire the Beatles, as well as a host of other great British bands (arguably)you will enjoy this collection. I gave it 4 stars which is a little generous, but you will fiend that virtually every top 20 hit he had is on here, although I know there were many other recordings of concert and session material. Overall worth the money though, take a chance - you may enjoy it!

      5 out of 5 stars Thank you Dr. Demento!.......2002-08-15

      Even though I think he missed many of Lonnie Donegan's best songs, I, and many others, would never have even heard of Lonnie Donegan had it not been for late night radio.

      This is a collection of many of the best. Yes, "Chewing Gum" is here, along with "My Old Man's a Dustman" (my 9 year old son's personal favorite) and many others. I think my favorite has to be "Battle of New Orleans," not only for the performance, but also for the very concept of listening to someone as British as Lonnie Donegan sing it.

      This is not an album for quiet listening over a good book. This is an album for singing along during road trips or cranking up the volume when the car next to yours is annoying everyone at the traffic light. It's fun listening that will lighten your heart on a rainy day. The fact that it's only about six bucks is just a bonus. I wouldn't have felt a bit cheated paying out the fifteen dollars or so that most albums cost.

      So, what are you waiting for? Click the button! Buy the album!

      3 out of 5 stars Some Other Planet.......2001-04-21

      1950s English and American popular music were light years apart. I'm not saying that one or the other was better or worse, they were just different, different, different.

      Try to imagine people in New York, Chicago, or Los Angeles, who were seeing Sinatra, Tony Bennett, Patti Page, Dean Martin, etc etc etc on a fairly regular basis, putting Lonnie Donegan on the turntable, and hearing that key-bending introduction to "Jack O'Diamonds."

      Boom! Worlds collide.

      Lennon said skiffle was a revolution in England, much like the Folk movement which went through America in the late fifties and early sixties. Neither hung around for very long--skiffle was nothing more than a memory by 1964, and Folk was an affect, rather than a movement, in Pop by 1966--but the influence hung around a bit longer.

      I prefer the Lonnie Donegan records that aren't pulled directly out of American songbooks. Those are kind of like hearing Elvis doing the French National Anthem, if you follow me.

      So my highlights here are "Putting On The Style," "My Old Man's A Dustman," and, of course, "Does Your Chewing Gum Lose It's Flavor (On The Bedpost Over Night)?" They remind me of a time when pop stars--English ones, at least--were allowed to have a sense of humor.

      And, if you really want to hear an authentic Pub sing-a-long song, you can't beat "Have A Drink On Me." Like all good Brit-singers, it drops from major to minor in the bridge, includes a few chuckles, and revolves around the impending death of the narrator. What could be better?

      Some of these tracks could be buried at sea and nobody would miss them much. But, for the price this CD is going for, it's well worth it to hear the gems.

      5 out of 5 stars Lonnie Donegan CD Reveiw.......2000-08-09

      Lonnie is a talented, humorous British artist whose songs may not be legendary, but will certainly be remembered and listened to by all who like skiffle, folk or rock n roll. I am probably the only 15 year old on the planet who has ever heard of him, but I think he's great. The CD is excellent - a must-buy for all music fans.

      Good show! Donegan at his best. Humorous and evocative of the birth of rock and roll as we experienced it growing up in the 50s and 60s.
