Album Description 2008 collection of classic Rock 'N' Roll tracks from artists 'inspired' by Little Richard, one of the most imitated Rock 'N' Rollers of all time. Here are two dozen Richard-a-likes that strive to replicate various aspects of the man's performance or catalogue. Features the usual Ace mix of household names such as Don Covay (as Pretty Boy), Etta James and Joe Tex (Little Booker) and terminal obscurities, for example, Little Ike and Screamin' Joe Neal, all doing unspeakable damage to their larynxes for everyone's rockin' pleasure. 25 raspin' tracks. Ace. Similar CDs

CD ReviewsThe 1950s Little Richard sound Phil S. | USA | 02/18/2009 (4 out of 5 stars) "While most of these 25 tracks were released, Little Richard was ot Oakwood Collge studying the Bible and Business. I doubt many of these numbers were even played on the bigger stations and I doubt Richard Penniman would have been moved to return to R & R after hearing them, if he tuned into Pop radio at the time. There are many great artists herein, wailing over great musicianship, including Richard's regular studio band. And the sound is fine on all 25!
Standouts by Etta James, Young Jesse, Ike & Tina Turner, Joe Tex (as Little Booker), Don Covay (as Pretty Boy), and track #25, by The World Famous Upsetters (actually the man himself, incognito, fresh from a successful tour of Europe with four dudes from Liverpool, who had a modest hit with something called "Love Me Do"...they were thrilled to meet their idol and also to include a new drummer). Wonderful notes with color shots of record labels, all kinds of detail." |
