Fabulous album, great songs, the greatest songs. This is where it all began. Sun Records and Sam Phillips, created rock'n'roll, I know the blues and country were around for ages, but Sam with Elvis, Jerry Lee and the rest brought it all together, white boys singing the blues = rock'n'roll. Great interpretation of the songs, especiall Plant and Page. Get the DVD, fantastic, Scotty Moore, DJ Fontana, telling it like it is. Will say no more, just buy the album, turn it up load and listen to what real music is all about.

Tribute albums are very rarely worth the price of admission. Few of 'em actually do what they say on the tin, but 'Good Rockin' Tonight' is a winning exception to the rule. Bob Dylan sounds greater than ever these days - a voice that is well lived in, but when he wraps his gnarly old pipes around the chestnut, 'A Red Cadillac And A Black Moustache', it fits so well - he can't resist slightly hamming up the teenage love lyric, but does it with real warmth and affection. Similarly, Eric Clapton and The Impressions offer up a heartfelt stroll through the lovely 'Just Walking In The Rain', supplying some fabbo slide guitar to underpin his emotive vocal, with the Impressions adding a svelte carpeting of rich backing vocals. Bryan Ferry limbers up for a sweet run-through on 'Don't Be Cruel' - true, he doesn't do much with it, but his heart's in the right place. Jeff Beck pays due homage to his 'billy roots by playing the Scotty Moore guitar parts behind a lively Chrissie Hynde on 'Mystery Train', all slapback echo and rapid pull-off guitar runs. Robert Plant and Jimmy Page - Mr & Mrs Led Zeppelin - both of whom have never been reticent about acknowledging their love of 50's rock and roll - weigh in with a suitably gutsy rendition of 'My Bucket's Got A Hole In It', with some fine acoustic guitar from Page. Even ol' Elton John works up a head of steam of Jerry Lee's 'Whole Lotta Shakin'. I am a big fan of Tom Petty, and he doesn't disappoint as he offers up a mean 'Blue Moon Of Kentucky', and Van The Man and Carl Perkins whip up a bluesy stew on 'Sittin' On Top Of The World' (great horns on this 'un, and evn Van sounds cheery!). French rock veteran Johnny Hallyday don't do too badly with 'Blue Suede Shoes', either - there's nothing to dislike, and a whole lot to love!

Good Rockin Tonight is a collection of 16 classic recordings from the legendary Sun label performed by some of todays greatest artists and there is an array of some impressive names on board. How you view this album depends on how you feel the songs should be performed. Personally, I prefer the artists to sound as authentic as possible and stay true to that great Sun sound. Artists such as Paul McCartney, Robert Plant & Jimmy Page, Chrissie Hynde & Jeff Beck, Elton John & Tom Petty have done exactly that. Indeed Elton John in particular sounds remarkably like the Killer himself. However, artists such as Live, Matchbox Twenty & Kid Rock have adopted a far more distinctively contemporary style. There is nothing wrong with this, infact these are very fine versions but they sound out of place with the majority of the album. This is a crying shame because as anyone who has seen the documentary will know, there are great versions of Rock n Roll Ruby (by Mark Knofler) & Honey Don't (by Third Eye Blind) that, to me, would have fitted in perfectly.
