CD ReviewsLarry Williams Greatest Hits - Reviewed by Joe A. Lewis Joe A. Lewis | Hercules, CA | 08/13/2007 (5 out of 5 stars) "Not as well known as Fats or Little Richard, Larry Williams is nevertheless a shining example of New Orleans 1950s rock and roll. He's probably best know for his "silly songs" like Boney Maroni and Short Fat Fannie (both of which contain wonderul references to other rock and roll songs that were popular at the time). A couple of Larry's "B-sides" were just as good as the "A-sides." Check out High School Dance and Let Me Tell You, Baby. But, the real highlight of this set is the classic Slow Down. If you like raw rock and roll, driving piano, and nasty tenor sax solos, it dooesn't get any better than Slow Down. You won't be dissapointed in this collection!" Let the Beatles & Stones tell you. rick from Boston | 04/08/2007 (4 out of 5 stars) "His name may not be the most well known in rock circles, but just ask the Beatles and the Stones about Larry williams! I grew up hearing these songs by my early rock heroes. Now I can see why they respected this man. The versions we all know aren't so diferent from Larry's versions. No need to change a great song. Anyone into the evolution of rock n' roll will want this." Larry Williams-Speciality Profiles Anthony C. Wiessner | 09/12/2009 (5 out of 5 stars) "Nice collection.Second cousin to Lloyd Price & products of New Orleans R&B.Plus a bonus disc of speciality artists.Nice buy.Seller A+.Quick delivery."
