ballad versions of pop oldies (Am I Blue/ I'm Confessin'/ Unchained
Melody, etc) and more. "Ricky" features him accompanied by
The Jimmie Haskell Orchestra (actually a smallish group) with some hot
guitar from Joe Maphis and "Ricky Nelson" was with his regular

Garden Party |
● CD $7.98 |
CD reissue of early 70's album - ten tracks including title
cut.
|
| SANDY NELSON |
Ace CDCHD 586 |
Rock 'n' Roll Drum Beat |
● CD $18.98 |
30 tracks, recommended. 30 cuts from
his days on Imperial (1960-64), a period that saw the release of nearly
ten albums as Sandy enjoyed great popularity in the wake of his biggest
hit Teen Beat (recorded for Original Sound, not included here). The
program here is a combination of original and cover material, and while
Nelson's hard-driving drums are the obvious centerpiece, the songs are
helped immensely by guitarist Rene Hall and saxophonist Plas Johnson;
their contributions to numbers like The City/ Bullfrog/ The Flip
help turn mere drum vehicles into genuinely exciting instrumentals, adding
the appropriate menace to Tough Beat that is almost Wray-like. The
covers are usually lighter fare, but Sandy shines on Yakety Yak/Don't
Be Cruel/Bony Moronie/Willie And The Hand Jive/I'm Gonna Be A Wheel
Someday and even La Bamba Bossa Nova. The disc closes with
Sandy's other biggest hit Let There Be Drums. Great collection.

Hypnotized |
● CD $19.98 |
Terry Noland's biggest claim to fame is probably that he
went to school with Buddy Holly and had minor hits with two decent rockers
Hypnotized and Oh Baby! Look At Me. This CD is probably
overkill featuring everything he recorded for Brunswick in 1957 and '58
along with a couple of demos recorded in 1956 with Larry Welborn and Joe
B. Mauldin. There are many unissued songs here along with alternate takes.
The material ranges from nice rocking numbers with good Hollyesque guitars
to dreadful pop rock ballads with The Anita Kerr Singers. Sound is
excellent and there are extensive notes and full discographical details
but I'm not sure it was necessary. (FS)

2 short '87 sets from Toads in New Haven [my East Coast fave] and Lupos in
Rhode Island, concentrating more on band originals. There's still their
weird way with covers, including a rockin' Rocket In My Pocket, an
instrumental Scarlet Ribbons and a Karaoke version of Just The Way You Are
along with originals It Comes To Me Naturally, Macho Maria, Some Kind Of
Blues, Trouble In The Henhouse. Come on, Rounder put out Fat Al's Wildweed
sides! (GM)

The Wild One - Early Rare & Rockin'
Sides |
● CD $18.98 |
18 tracks, 45 mins, recommended
18 tracks from the man who
is generally credited with being Australia's first home grown rock and
roller forming his band the Dee Jays in 1957. He cut his first record that
year and over the years recorded prolifically and had numerous hits in
Australia though he failed in his attempt to break into the American
market in 1959. His most well known song is The Wild One (aka Real
Wild Child) which was written and recorded by Jerry Allison. This disc
features two versions of the song by Johnny as well as Jerry Allison's
version which was recorded under the name Ivan. Johnny was a powerful and
enthusiastic singer and the material here is a mix of covers of U.S. tunes
(Over The Mountains, Across The Sea/ So Tough/ Shout, etc) along
with some original songs and songs from other Australian writers (there
are no composer credit). Musical arrangements are pretty good though there
is an overabundance of vocal choruses. Sound quality is a bit muddy.

The Sun Years |
● CD $12.98 |
Rhino complements their excellent Orbison MGM collection
(The Classic Roy Orbison 1965-'68 - $15.50) with this equally fine
compilation of his early Sun Records sides, recorded in '56/57. With Ooby
Dooby (his only charted hit from this period), Claudette/Domino/Devil
Doll/Chicken Hearted/Rock House and more. Superb sound, as always -
20-track CD includes 5 extra cuts. (MB)

| ROY ORBISON |
Virgin 86520-2 |
King Of Hearts |
● CD $12.98 |
Some are from master sessions, some from demos, but all of
these 10 posthumous pieces sound crafted. The Grammy-winning version of Crying
with k.d. lang is about as perfect as duets get, and altogether stunning.
She also adds her voice to You're The One which features the
helping hands of T-Bone Burnett, Jim Keltner, Booker T. Jones and others.
Don Was, Jeff Lynne, Robbie Robertson, among many, make unique
contributions on Coming Home/ I Drove All Night/ Love In Time, but
none half so pleasing as the pure sound of Orbison's own singular,
almost-operatic vocals. Roy Orbison's singing for the lonely one last time
and doing a damn fine job of it. (JC)

Roy Orbison & Sonny James |
● CD $19.98 |
2 stars performing non-hit material for RCA during career
lulls. Roy's material, done '58 - '59 between his Sun & Monument
careers, has 7 fine cuts in beautiful stereo including all 6 cuts from the
Almost 18 EP (Bear Family 15019) along with the more recently found I'll
Never Tell put on the
Rockin' Rollin' High School compilation. Sonny's 12 tunes were from a
brief spell away from Capitol, 1961-62, and includes a remake of Young
Love plus a vocal version of Apache and the excellent Magnetism
, sounding much more pop than country. Like O's tunes, in beautiful
stereo....

Some Think He Might Be King Elvis |
● CD $19.98 |
I was too busy in 1979 collecting rock'n'roll records (and
making money to pay for the dastardly habit) to take much notice of an odd
looking masked man billed as the next Elvis (or actually Elvis in the
flesh according to some.) I stand accused, because Orion, or Jimmy Ellis
according to his birth certificate, is truly a rockabilly force to be
reckoned with. He has the best 'Elvis' voice of anyone and he's not even
an Elvis impersonator. He's a logical extention of the Presley musical
persona, doing songs in the king's style that the king never got around
to covering like Rockabilly Rebel/ Susie Q/ Peggy Sue/ Matchbox/ I'm
Gonna Be A Wheel Someday and even the Queen tune Crazy Little Thing
Called Love in a rockabilly style. The arrangements, for the mostpart,
are rockin' and unencumbered and the new songs are topflight tunes. Forget
those pot-bellied clowns in the sequins and check out the cat in the funny
lookin' mask for some real rockin' action - Elvis style..(AE)
ORION: Ain't No Good/ Anybody Out There/ Baby Please Say Yes/ Blue Moon Of
Kentucky/ Born/ Crazy Little Thing Called Love/ I'm Gonna Be A Wheel
Someday/ If I Can't Have You/ Long Tall Sally/ Look Me Up (and Lay It On
Me)/ Matchbox/ Maybe Tomorrow/ Me And Bobby Mcgee./ Memphis Sun/ Midnight
Rendezvous/ Old Mexico/ Peggy Sue/ Rainbow Maker/ Rockabilly Rebel/
Rockin' Little Angel/ See You Later, Alligator/ She Hates To Be Wrong/
Some You Win, Some You Lose/ Susie Q/ Thats All Right/ There's No Easy
Way/ What Now My Love
