ESSENTIAL... AGAIN, ESSSENTIAL


Billy Lee Riley's "Red Hot" and "Flying Saucers Rock 'n' Roll" should be elementary to most of you. Step aside if you don't want to be reminded how awesome they are. You peagreens, pay attention. This is what excellent early rock 'n' roll sounds like...no, make that nearly perfect rock 'n' roll, of any era. Period. This is how it's done. All the stupid ass haircuts, weird get-ups, gimmicks and posturing were added later. This is the rockabilly equivalent of Howlin' Wolf smashing wah-wahs to bits. Hang it on your ear.
