Negative Positive
Title: Stunning
Review: Albums like this are proof that, despite popular mythology, there were great rock and roll albums before the Beatles. None of Gene Vincent's best-remembered hits are here, and it doesn't matter. This is a CD full of empassioned performances, crisp production values, and the sort of dynamics that we just don't hear much in popular music anymore. The 17 songs included here help to explain not only why rockabilly continues as a cult but why British guitarists as diverse as Jeff Beck and George Harrison were absolutely enthralled with players like Gene Vincent's lead guitarist Cliff Gallup. I've listened to this CD again and again, and always find a new detail to marvel at. Gene Vincent was an exciting singer, and His Blue Caps were one of the very best rock and roll bands of all time. If you truly love rock and roll, you will want this for your collection.
