I have a very wide music taste, and have hundreds upon hundreds of music CD's, covering most genres. This is one of my most listened to CD's. It captures the raw, undiluted energy of rockabilly perfectly.( In my opinion, just like the Sex Pistol's album captured the energy Punk 20 years later) The more up-tempo tracks are timeless, and sound as fresh today as they did when recorded 50 years ago - in fact, my 13 and 15 year old step son and daughter know the lyrics to most on this CD off by heart - singing along to them (and they usually listen to the likes of Beyonce and Metallica respectively!)
All tracks are well produced and sound very crisp, although the slower songs do not suit their style as much.
I would recommend this particular CD to anyone who loves music.

Made during 1956/57, this pair of albums represents early rock 'n' roll at its most potent. Several of the songs included here were included by the reformed Pirates, Mick Green et al, in their repertoire in the late 1970s, and they were one of the most exciting bands of any era. One of these was the opening track, 'Honey Hush', which features a wicked two-note bass riff. The same urgency is created on 'The Train Kept A Rollin'', a staple for many a British R&b band in the late 1960s. 'Oh Baby Babe' is basically the same as the evil 'Baby, Let's Play House'. Most of the tracks are vital examples of rock 'n' roll. The one downside is that there is a scattering of soapy, ballad-style songs, but on the whole this is a precious collection of recordings that sound fresh for their age.

Elvis was not the only Rocker in 1954-55.
23 July 2004
By Morten Vindberg

Format:Audio CD
Elvis was not the only rocker in 1954-55.
The Rock`n Roll Trio was the legendary group that during 1955-57 recorded 2 album`s worth of material.
Their pioneer rockabilly/rhythm`n blues music has been higly influential on bands like the Yardbirds, Johnny Kid and the Pirates and the Downliners Sect.
The band consisted of the two Burnette brothers Johnny and Dorsey and their friend, lead guitarist Paul Burlison. Both brothers wrote a lot of great songs, some of which were hits for acts like Ricky Nelson.
Their first album, simply called "The Rock `n` Roll Trio" was released as a 10 inch LP on Coral records in early 1957. The album caused considerably excitement among rockabilly fans, but was soon deleted. The album that curiously did not include their 1956 single "Tear it Up" soon became a real collector`s item.
In 1966 the album was rereleased on the Ace of Hearts label, at a time when the trio had been disbanded for years. Singer Johnny Burnette had died in a drowning accident in 1964.
Their material was mixture of Burnette originals and tunes borrowed from other rock`n roll pioneers like Fats Domino and Joe Turner.
The first albums opens with the great rocker "Honey Hush" with the great distorted guitar-riff.
More rockers of the same type follows; best of which are "All by Myself", "The Train Kept a Rollin" and "Drinkin`Wine Spo-Dee-O Dee, Drinking"
A few Buddy Holly-type ballads can also be found. ( "I Just Found Out" and "I Love You So" )
A little bit of country on "Lonesome Train" and sheer blues on "Chains of Love".
Their second album called "Tear it Up", released after their split shows a greater variety of styles. Highlights are the rocking single-track "Tear it Up", "You`re Undecided" and "Midnight Train" - all Burnette originals.
The playing and singing is terrific and overall there`s a lot of energy in these recordings. After 10-15 tracks though, the songs may sound a little too much alike and repetitive.

Outrageous

This guy was way ahead of his time! Honey Hush has distortion in the guitars and it's 1955. Listen to the vocals and you will hear what sounds like Gene Vincent, Buddy Holly, Elvis Presley, and Bill Haley. If you like early Rockabilly, you'll like this CD. I don't understand how this guy didn't make it big, but I think it is another example of the eary record companies in control and not always understanding the caliber of the talent that they had right in front of them.
