5 out of 5 stars 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.

5 out of 5 stars "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.!

4 out of 5 stars 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!!!!

5 out of 5 stars 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.

5 out of 5 stars Great Memories of Legion Stadium of the 50's.......2004-01-07

As someone who will soon turn 60 years old, I can totally relate to this CD. A friend gave me a copy of his CD and I now ordered 2 more as gifts. The friend who gave this to me is 71, he's more like a 17-year-old when this music plays. He was born and raised in East LA and I wasn't too far away.

These songs are great!

4 out of 5 stars Bring Back The Memories.......2000-12-05

The El Monte Legion Stadium was located in a small suburb of Los Angeles and during its heyday of the fifties through 1960's was the venue for the best Rock & Roll shows in So. California. This disc features acts that have played El Monte during those years and some acts that simply sound like they should have headlined there. Most of these songs are taken from the record of the same name that was released in 1960 and produced by the legendary L.A. disc jockey Art Laboe. Laboe has also produced this CD with added tracks to give a feeling of spaning more years of El Monte stage shows. Art Laboe is also the originator of the "Oldies but Goodies" Lp's and probably the father of the phrase. This then is an "Oldies", recording in its truest form. Some of the acts were only known in the L. A. area, like Jim Balcom and Sonny Knight. Other acts were national Rock & Roll headliners like Billy Stewart and Earth Wind and Fire. If you remember "El Monte", or Art Laboe with his radio show from the drive-in where he played requests from teenagers as they sat in their cars after school eating hamburgers. If you are into "oldies", and are tired of the same old records on the radio, then pick this Cd for your collection.

    If you're a historical of doo-wop and early R&B, there are definitely some forgotten tracks but most casual listeners or even for most - the sound quality is just poor. It's not the fault of the CD distributor, I'm sure they found what they could to work with. Music is worthy of a listen but unfortunately the CD sound quality is poor.

    Those who have listened over the years to the Tokens, or those who think they are a one-hit wonder (The Lion Sleeps Tonight) need to purchase this gem! I defy anyone to listen without getting up and dancing, or at least tapping a toe. The latin style is a substantial and very welcome departure from their other, rather mediocre compositions. And the artistry almost makes me think these Tokens are not the same ones that produced all the other albums. I have over 300 CD's and 100 cassettes, and I keep coming back to this one when I need my spirits lifted!

      I was very disappointed with this CD. These are not the Original Artists. If you are a purist as I am, you want the Original Artists that sang the song back in those days of great music. These are not the real thing. If you don't mind subs then you will like this.

      5 out of 5 stars YOU MAY HAVE HEARD OF THESE GROUPS.........................2002-08-14

      But have you ever actually heard them????? I have been a collector for more than 35 years. While I collect a wide variety of music, one of my favorite genres is doo-wop. Several years ago, I was introduced to pre-doo-wop R&B of the late 1940's in a 2 album set called "Goodbye 1940's....Hello 1950's" on the Apollo label. I really fell in love with the music. This brand new collection, on the Indigo label is just as good. There are 50 cuts on this double CD set and I loved all but a few. I particularly enjoyed the first disc which contained the older material. For the first time in my life I heard the music of The Cats and The Fiddle, Five Red Caps, The Basin Street Boys, The Charioteers and the Delta Rhythm Boys to mention just a few. It is doubtful that you will ever find the music of so many of these legendary groups in one collection. I have read about all of these acts for many years now and I must tell you that was not disappointed!! I particularly enjoyed "Open The Door Richard" by the Charioteers, "I Sold My Heart To the Junkman" by the Basin Street Boys and "If Money Grew on Trees" by the Toppers. And while I was enjoying the music, I perused the following books which give a wealth of information on many of these artists. "American Singing Groups" by Jay Warner and "The R&B Book" by Big Al Pavlow. Both of these items are available thru amazon.com. I anxiously await future releases from Indigo Records.

      My comment before I got this CD was for the price how could one go wrong. Now that I have it - it is a total waste. Not even close to the originals. It even sounds like it was recorded on a slow speed. Save your money. I only got it for the Belmonts' recording, "Come On Little Angel", but I wanted the original. Majorly disappointed.
