DESCRIPTION

TRACK LIST

The hallowed architects of rockabilly and rock and roll didn’t always stoke their tempos at 100 miles an hour. They knew when to slow it down, to make a song connect with slow dancers as they testified to either eternal romantic devotion or broken hearts. The 32 selections comprising this compilation raise goosebumps instead of leaving listeners breathless, yet subtly packing just as mean a wallop as those red-hot houserockers. A few of its artists may be new to some listeners - Gene Dunlap and his Jokers, Lonnie Dee, Tooter Boatman and The Chaparrals - but it mostly features giants of their era, emoting passionately over easy grooves just right for dancing closer than close. Elvis and his immortal Anyway You Want Me (That’s How I Will Be), Jack Scott’s smash My True Love, Ricky Nelson’s heartbroken Poor Little Fool, Patsy Cline’s breakthrough hit Walkin’ After Midnight, and scintillating gems by Marty Robbins, Ronnie Hawkins, Ritchie Valens, Rudy Grayzell, Ronnie Self, Sanford Clark, Marvin Rainwater, and Chicago’s Ral Donner make this collection heavenly for rock and roll fans who want to take a temporary breather from their beloved non-stop piledrivers.
