Led by identical twins Cliff and Claude Trenier, the Treniers were a joyously crazed R&B group whose style suggested a middle ground between Louis Jordan's swingin' boogie and the more stylized approach of Ray Charles' early sides, but with less ballast and more frantic energy than both of those acts put together. While the Treniers released their first records through Mercury, the group's best recordings were cut for the OKeh label between 1951 and 1955, and They Rock! They Roll! They Swing!: The Best of the Treniers collects 15 classic sides from the OKeh vaults (among them their duet with baseball star Willie Mays, "Say Hey (The Willie Mays Song)," and the gotta-hear-it-to-believe-it "Poontang") along with five equally potent unreleased cuts. Whether they were chasing women, getting drunk on patent medicine, or simply celebrating their own monumental coolness, the Treniers knew how to get the party started, and They Rock! They Roll! They Swing! is both a fine introduction to their fine sounds and a fitting soundtrack for your next bash. All 20 tunes have been expertly remastered and sound great, while Nick Tosches (who wrote a superb appreciation of the Treniers in his book Unsung Heroes of Rock 'n' Roll) contributes informative and entertaining liner notes. This disc was reissued in 2004 on the Collectables label featuring nine bonus tracks not available on the 1995 Epic/Legacy version. ~ Mark Deming

Purchase They Rock! They Roll! They Swing! CD To buy, Click on price to add to cart | Johnny Otis 1945-1947 CD (2002)
They Rock! They Roll! They Swing! album
 $18.05 
Growing up among Afro-Americans in Berkeley, CA, Greek-American Johnny Otis (born John Veliotes) always identified strongly with people of color. Before he had attained the age of 20 he was gigging with black jazz bands throughout the Southwest, and eventually organized an ensemble deliberately patterned after Count Basie's orchestra. This highly charged album of historical musical artifacts documents the very beginning of Johnny Otis' recording career. With one apparently unobtainable exception, the Classics Blues & Rhythm Series has assembled all of Otis' Excelsior recordings, made in Los Angeles between 1945 and 1947. This provides background and ...
