| | Rock N Roll Fever CD - Import
Excellent 25-track compilation featuring '50s sides that appeared on the Specialty label. Highlights include Jerry Byrne's "Lights Out" and "Carry On" (both featuring a young Dr. John on piano), Bob "Froggy" Landers' surreal "Cherokee Dance," Don and Dewey's original take of "Justine," the Pentagons' "It's Spring Again" and Roddy Jackson's "Moose on the Loose." From the label that brought you Little Richard, this is piano-poundin', shack-shakin', borderline-nuts first-generation rock & roll. For once, a compilation that truly reflects its title. ~ Cub Koda
Digitally remastered by Kirk Felton (1994, Fantasy Studios).
Includes liner notes by Billy Vera.
Additional producers: Art Rupe, Harold Battiste, Sonny Bono, Lee Rupe.
Q (12/94, p.172) - 3 Stars - Good - "...For half-crazed, consistently eccentric rock'n'roll, Art Rupe's...Specialty label had few equals during the first golden age. His big property was Little Richard, but [these are] the one-hit wonders, also-rans and never-wases..." Rock N Roll Fever Review

| | Herb Alpert S.R.O. CD (1966) Remastered; Special Edition
Rock N Roll Fever CD music
$9.99
By late 1966, it seemed as if every TV commercial and every pop arranger had latched onto the Herb Alpert "Ameriachi" sound -- at which point the resourceful originator of that sound began to pare it down and loosen it up a bit. S.R.O. (Standing Room Only), referring to the Tijuana Brass' string of sold-out concerts, is an accurate title, for this LP is about a seven-piece band loaded with experienced jazzers who groove and swing together to a greater degree than on their previous albums. Sure, the arrangements are very tightly knit and don't allow much room for spontaneity, but they still sound fresh and uninhibited, and Alpert often allows the flavor of jazz to come through more clearly. Indeed, two of the album's three hit singles, "The Work Song" and "Flamingo," are jazz tunes -- the former nervous and driving, the latter joyously kicking -- and the third, "Mame," gets a nifty Dixieland treatment a la Louis Armstrong, with Alpert singing one verse. The sleeping gem of the record is guitarist John Pisano's "Freight Train Joe," a wistfully evocative tune that won't quit the memory, ...

| | Bill Ricchini Tonight I Burn Brightly CD (2005)
Rock N Roll Fever songs
$10.05
Bill Ricchini's debut album Ordinary Time was a very nice bedroom pop record, full of hooks, interesting arrangements and melancholy, winter-tinged songs. For his second album, Tonight I Burn Brightly, he leaves the mid-fi record behind and hits the studio with a full band. That is the only thing that has changed, as the songs and arrangements are just as good (if not better) and any perceived lack of imtimacy is offset by the simplicity and directness of the songs and lyrics. Plus, Ricchini is blessed with the same intimate whisper of a voice that Joe Pernice, and before him Colin Blunstone, made the envy of tender balladeers everywhere. On this album it is much more out-front and it gives the album an emotional punch the first lacked. Mentioning Pernice before wasn't a coincidence because Ricchini sounds like the Triple-A version of the Pernice Brothers, especially on the more uptempo tracks like "I Just Can't Fall in Love," "Dark Little Sea" and "Angela." ...
