| | Rhythm & Rock: 50'S Doo-Wop & Rock'N Roll CD
Don Braksdale ran Rhythm Records out of San Francisco and during the 1950s issued a spate of great R&B singles on the localized talent. This first volume spotlights 27 performances from that same time frame with the focus on the label's doo-wop and rock'n'roll sides. Kicking off with 15 year old Alice Jean Wilton and the Mondellos' "100 Years From Today," the set moves effortlessly with classic West Coast harmony offerings from the Lyrics, the Tempos, the Marcels (not the "Blue Moon"group), the Spinners (not the Detroit group), Rudy Lambert, and Ollie "Yul" McClay. There's an almost claustophobic quality to all of these recordings (this and the companion volume were mastered from the only existing masters and acetates), but the music stays charming every note of the way. A must listen for doo-wop fans. ~ Cub Koda
