Search - Various Artists :: Roll You Moneymaker

2009 collection of unjustly overlooked early Rock 'N' Roll. Long before Elvis rolled his pelvis, the Rolling Stones tapped into the Mississippi-Blues, and legions of white bands made their electrified guitars roar, black Blues-Gospel and Jazz artists had laid the cornerstone for the musical revolution: Rock 'N Roll. Besides well-known names like Chuck Berry, Howlin' Wolf and Bo Diddley, this comp also features many unjustly overseen musical pioneers. From Gospel singer Rosetta Tharpe, to Jimi-Hendrix-idol Johnny Guitar Watson, from Ike Turner's early Rockabilly-blueprints, to the Doo-Wop-Rock of Ruth Brown. Other artists, including Magic Slim, Andre Williams, Big Maybelle, Rufus Thomas, Lazy Lester, Etta James, and Jesse Stone are featured on this release.
