Synopsis

Album Description
In their lives and music, The Treniers, led by twins Claude and Clifford, were the embodiment of wild good times. But their raucous, often outrageous, behavior, as entertaining as it was, was only a hint of the magic they wrought in their music. In their electricity and elan, The Treniers blurred the boundaries between rock and R&B and in the process, influenced legions of pop artists who followed.This twentry-nine track reissue contains twenty cuts digitally remastered for an Epic/Legacy "Best Of" release from 1995 (all tracks originally recorded 1951-55) and a whopping nine bonus tracks from singles released on the Okeh label in 1952 and 1953.

(5 out of 5 stars)

"This CD is a re-issue of the Epic/Legacy release of the same name, with 9 extra tracks. If you want to hear sound samples of the first 20 tracks on this CD, go to the Amazon listing for the Epic/Legacy version.



Just FYI, if you're ever in the Chicago area, you can catch Milt Trenier playing live at a local venue somewhere, check his site for info: http://www.rockabilly.net/milttrenier/

R&B Evolves Into Rock and Roll

(5 out of 5 stars)

"The Treniers broke out of the R&B mold with their "big beat" music and this album displays them at their rockin' best!

Great songs and a wild honking sax make this a fun album.

A minus is the lack of decent liner notes but this is more than made up for by the great sound quality of this recording."
