Savvy Sugar - The Pure Essence Of West Coast Ro

Though Some Tracks On This 3 CD Set Feature Johnny Otis, Most Of The Rest Of This Outing Certainly Contains Many More Recordings That Johnny Was Involved In As A Musician, Producer, And Label(s) Owner.I Remember Many Of These Acts Appearing Live With Johnny, As Well On His Local Television Show On KTLA.Too Many Acts And Tracks To List Here, But If You Are Around My Age, And From Southern California, You Don't Need Any Liner Notes To Know That Johnny Otis Is Synonymous With Early Los Angeles Rock And Roll And R & B*( Not To Mention His Work With KING, MERCURY, DUKE / PEACOCK And SAVOY )* R&B As It Once Was In It's True Form, Not The Sludge Referred To As " R&B " These Days...R.I.P. Johnny

Pretty good collection of material from the 'golden age of rock 'n roll'.Mostly r & b themed cuts on first two discs, with country influence kicking in on disc 3.Personally, I considered this set to be slightly inferior to most of the other compilations in this 'Sugar' series, but only (probably) because I already had a good few of the tracks in my collection.

A great 3 disc pure rock and roll from the 1950s of really some great atists.Please put this amazing collection into your collection as it is time less.

There's so much one can say about this triple CD that I would be ableto write pages and pages. I will resume it to only a few words. Absolutelyout of this world!! Here we have the genuine roots of the raw beginningsof Rock & Roll interpreted by may originators like Fats, Larry Williams,Johnny Otis, The Platters, Ricky Nelson and so many more "obscure" artistsnever heard of before but producing the real stuff. Don't wait, go for it!!

So so not bad rocking cd
