Reviewsedit
"....30 tracks, 67 minutes..... recommended. This 30 tune collection should go a long way in promoting Gene Summers into the upper ranks of 50s rockabilly. From Dallas, Texas, Summers recorded for a number of labels through the years but is best known for the wild rockin' School Of Rock And Roll on the Jan label and the movin' Alabama Shake on Capri. All of his 50s rockers are here and almost all of them are really great too. Gene and his band tear it up on a couple of crude instrumentals as well - Loco Cat (incredible) and Floppin . His later efforts also include more than a few gems like Turnip Greens , Baby Are You Kiddin' , Rockaboogie Shake , the ballad Big Blue Diamonds , Sonny Fisher's Rockin' Daddy and the Horton-esque Who Stole The Marker (From The Grave Of Bonnie Parker) . ....... A pretty good legacy I'd say." -(AE) Roots & Rhythm
