Female Elvis: Complete Recordings 1956-60 Music Review Average Rating: (4.5 out of 5 stars)  Fantastic
This was what the 5o's were about. All the songs in the collection were great.

The women of Rock have too long been underrated.
Lovely voice. A bit more "controlled" than Wanda Jackson, but still a rocker; on a few cuts I don't hear as much emotion as the song would warrant, but none are a bad listen. In fact, most have me dancing, a spectacle to be sure. One in particular,"Drug Store Rock and Roll"- which she wrote herself,and recorded at the ripe old age of 15, is just flat out FUN! And she sure did love her William! Note three titles with "William" or some variation- each a rockin' good time. In fact, the entire cd is a rockin' good time. Bobby socks optional.
