"It is a misnomer, in my view, to call these great songs "Blues". I mean, they ROCK! No sad "blues" stuff here. In the 50s, this type of heavy beat music was called "race music" by many.....The term Rythym and Blues came in years later. Call it whatever you wish, it is authentic, played and sung by the original artists and a real treat to the ears!

It is the stuff we listened to late at night when I was a teen in the mid west......we could pick up signal from WLAC in Nashville and hear Gene Nobles pitch the records from Randys Records. We'd buy the 78s, then play them for boogie dancing at parties......man, the teen queens loved it, too.

I recommend this CD for a good taste of the real thing!"
