Search - Brenda Lee :: Rocks

1-CD DigiPac (4-plated) with 52-page booklet, 36 tracks. Playing time approx. 87 minutes. - The Queen of Rock 'n' Roll on an expertly chosen blend of big hits and lesser-known, blues-edged cuts all designed to appeal to listeners who like to rock. 'Sweet Nothin's' is here of course along with all-time favourites like 'Let's Jump The Broomstick', 'Dum Dum', 'Here Comes That Feeling' and the seasonal mega-hit, 'Rockin' Around The Christmas Tree'. Also includes 'Is It True', the Mickie Most-produced UK hit which features Led Zeppelin's guitarist, Jimmy Page. 'Time Magazine' described her voice as 'Part whiskey, part black and all woman'. John Lennon put it simply: 'The greatest voice of the rock 'n' roll era'. -- Unlike most child stars, there was nothing cloying or distasteful about Brenda Lee. She had tons of credibility from the very beginning, kick-starting her long career with 'Bigelow 6-200' recorded in mid-1956 when she was only eleven years old. This comprehensive collection includes that rockabilly gem and the cream of her up-tempo Decca recordings, showcasing the grittiest voice of the pre-Beatles era on a leather-lunged raft of scorching rockers like 'Sweet Nothin's', 'Dynamite' and 'Let's Jump The Broomstick'. -- This then, is the story of Brenda Lee, rock 'n' roller in excelsis. And because it's on Bear Family, it comes with a beautiful, picture-filled booklet and a total of 36 tracks which dwarfs any other compilation on the market.
