Rock 'n' Roll Icons: A Musical Revolution [LP]

Various Artists - Rock 'n' Roll Icons: A Musical Revolution [LP]

Rock 'n' Roll Icons: A Musical Revolution charts how rhythm and blues, country, gospel and boogie-woogie collided into something new in the 1950s. Rather than just stacking hits, it picks the architects: Bill Haley's 'Rock Around The Clock', Chuck Berry's 'Johnny B Goode', Little Richard's 'Tutti Frutti', Big Mama Thornton's 'Hound Dog' and Link Wray's menacing 'Rumble'.

Wanda Jackson, Ritchie Valens, Eddie Cochran, Gene Vincent and Britain's Billy Fury round out the story, from raw rockabilly to New Orleans piano boogie. Compiled on a single vinyl LP by Acrobat, the UK label known for well-curated vintage collections.
