<description><![CDATA[Elvis Presley is rock 'n' roll. He sang like a dream, he was sexy enough to send girls swooning, and he exuded enough cool not to have the boys resent him. Adults worried about his rebellious nature, but they were eventually comforted by his polite, courteous manner. Yet as perfect as Presley's 1950s rock recordings are, he excelled at so much: down-home country crooning, raucous R&B belting, enraptured Gospel singing, and classic pop balladeering. Elvis wasn't a vocal chameleon: these styles seeped out of him naturally, allowing his own personality to shine through. Despite his high level of talent and achievement in his craft, it was Elvis who made rock 'n' roll the international language of pop and inspired countless kids around the world to pick up a guitar or step up to a microphone. That said, Elvis didn't have a faultless career: he starred in plenty of bad movies, sang dozens of lame songs, got fat, and wore a kitschy white suit. But so what? He forever changed pop music, recording acres of perfect material over two short decades. Elvis (deservedly) remains the King.

<description><![CDATA[Texas-born singer/songwriter/guitarist Roy Orbison first came to prominence with Sun Records in the 1950s, where he was typecast as a jiving Rockabilly singer with his minor hit "Ooby Dooby." That song, along with his other material for Sun, barely hinted at the melodramatic power held in his operatic tenor voice and his near-Baroque songwriting sensibility. After working as a contract songwriter in Nashville and providing the Everly Brothers with a few hit singles, he signed to Monument Records in the early 1960s; the hits came fast and furious shortly thereafter. Orbison's most popular records sported beautiful, complex melodies, yearning lyrics, lushly orchestrated production and a tangible sense of rock 'n' roll drama brought on by his soaring, high tenor voice. The hits dried up for Orbison by the '70s, and he fell off of the radar somewhat until 1988, at which point he experienced a huge career renaissance due to his involvement with the Traveling Wilburys.

<description><![CDATA[People all over the world recognize Smokey Robinson's sweet voice within a bar or two. His deceptively light sound defines soulful romance, and it helped place his band the Miracles at the top of the charts throughout the 1960s. Robinson is also an exceptional songwriter (with such credits as the Temptations' "My Girl" under his belt) and a businessman who helped Berry Gordy build the Motown juggernaut. During the sex-mad '70s, Robinson shifted into contemporary crooner mode and his excellent hit album <I>A Quiet Storm</I> provided the name and musical template for the simmering urban love genre that has helped keep our nurseries and daycare centers full.

<description><![CDATA[Chuck Berry is one of the true architects of rock 'n' roll music and a member of the Holy Trinity, with Little Richard seated to his left and Bo Diddley on his right. Berry's music is planted deep in the American psyche, enjoying iconographic status on a level with Elvis Presley and Jerry Lee Lewis. The trademark three-chord rhythm of songs such as "Johnny B. Goode" is the very basis of, and synonymous with, rock 'n' roll. As well as uncannily channeling the joys and frustrations of mid-1950s teenagers, Berry is a consummate blues player and has even dabbled in country music. Songs such as "Havana Moon" show an interest in the exotic rhythms of the islands. With his unmistakable, rollicking leads and duck-walking stage antics, you can't pick up a guitar without owing something to this great man.

<description><![CDATA[One of the longest lived groups in rock 'n' roll, the Drifters began playing in the early 1950s after R&B legend Clyde McPhatter left Billy Ward & the Dominoes to strike out on his own. Since that time, the Drifters have seen a revolving membership that includes Johnny Moore (who stepped in after McPhatter was drafted), Ben E. King and Rudy Lewis all filling in on lead vocal duties. The Drifters are probably best known for their songs "Under the Boardwalk," and "This Magic Moment." However, the Drifters not only pulled in audiences around the world, they also kept a fairly regular presence on the charts during their lengthy career. Their lush vocal stylings had a timeless quality that changed just enough to stay fresh. From smooth crooning to vibrant, leaping Gospel songs, the Drifters kept their cool for almost 50 years.

<description><![CDATA[Bo Diddley's influence on rock 'n' roll is well nigh immeasurable. Not only is his stage name synonymous with the cathartic drumbeat that accompanies a good portion of his music, he was also one of the first to incorporate the African-American street game "the Dozens" into the vocabulary of r'n'r imagery and posturing. This is before you even get to the primal, harmonic style of guitar playing he fathered, a style that matches Chuck Berry in scope of influence but arguably supercedes him in sonic invention. Where Berry's sound is rooted in the rolling of piano trills and flourishes, Bo Diddley's guitar comes from some mysterious place within himself. On such staples as "Mona" and "Bo Diddley," his guitar is dangerous, full of futuristic effects and natural distortion; vibrato and reverb test the levels on his recordings and he can sound like he's playing from the bottom of a crater on the moon. Often playing a single chord over and over with an imperceptibly mutating rhythm, Diddley lays the groove for his soaring, chorded leads that are as much a trademark as the jungle-fying drum and maraca combos that accompany. Everyone from Buddy Holly and the Stones to Johnny Thunders and, er the Dead have paid tribute to the master with covers, interpretations and outright swipes. Blues, R&B, Reggae and all-out rock 'n' roll songs pepper his massive catalog. While Bo Diddley's recent material shows his age a bit and may be for acolytes only, his material from the '50s on up to '70s is an essential to anyone interested in rock 'n' roll; not only as a cultural phenomenon but as a reason for living.

<description><![CDATA[After producer and songwriter Buck Ram got a hold of a group, he performed a certain magic. It worked with the Penguins and it worked with the Platters. Ram transformed the Platters from a run-of-the-mill Doo-Wop group to one of the best-known and most-loved Oldies groups around. Aside from recording some of the most classic, spine-tingling makeout music ever, the Platters earned the distinction of being the first black group to have a No. 1 hit on the (usually all-white) pop charts. Many disc jockeys, club owners, and listeners thought the Platters were white, as the group provided the soundtrack for generations of awkward teens' first sweaty-palmed, clumsy slow dance. Although "Great Pretender" and "Only You" are the most instantly recognizable Platters hits, the velvet throat of Tony Williams led the Platters to a number of Top-40 hits through the early part of the '60s.

<description><![CDATA[Buddy Holly's shockingly early demise -- he was only 22 when the light plane carrying him, Ritchie Valens and J.P. "The Big Bopper" Richardson crashed outside of Clear Lake, Iowa, in February 1959 -- brings an extra dimension of appreciation to his legacy. Holly's accomplishments as a singer, writer and bandleader run deep, and his music remains a favorite of casual oldies listeners, hardcore music fans and musicians nearly 50 years after his death. <br><br> Charles Hardin Holley grew up listening to country music in tiny Lubbock, Texas. The advent of Elvis Presley as a regional star on Sun Records in 1954 and '55, along with a general acceptance of the newest rhythm and blues sounds among hip white kids, pushed Holly toward his own rocking style. While those leanings were tamped down on his earliest singles for Decca (including the first version of the later smash "That'll Be the Day"), the rechristened Holly was soon punching out a highly original version of rock 'n' roll with his small band the Crickets. Holly's music displayed a number of colors; he was able to blend soft and hard to differing degrees, helping his smart, romantic songs range across the emotional spectrum. There are varying levels of assurance ("That'll Be the Day," "Well All Right") and joy ("Peggy Sue," "Rave On," "Every Day"), but straightforward pain is curiously absent from much of his work. Holly is much more likely to manifest an adult bewilderment, as he did in one of his last compositions, "Peggy Sue Got Married." Critic Jonathan Cott would later point to that song as prefiguring folk rock and the Beatles' <I>Rubber Soul</I> -- six years before their advent. <br> <br> Holly's death is all the more tragic given what we now know about the business pressures that led him to join the poorly managed Winter Dance Party tour of early '59. His legend has been burnished by the horrible results -- Bob Dylan has testified to a sort of metaphysical passing of the baton during a show he attended -- but that alone hardly explains the ongoing love for the tough, innocent sounds Holly left behind. The Beatles, Stones and Hollies (wink, wink) all took major inspiration from him, as did later generations of Bruce Springsteens, Elvis Costellos and the participants in several tribute albums and countless cover versions. But one only has to put on a recording by the man himself to feel that, as the old slogan goes, Buddy Holly lives.

<description><![CDATA[The Everly Brothers represent a lot of different things musically. They are the spiritual and literal forefathers of Country Rock, the epitome of Close Harmony singing, the antecedent to the boy band hysteria of today, and the embodiment of every troubled sibling relationship in pop music, from the Louvin Brothers to the Gallagher brothers (Oasis). Phil and Don Everly started out as part of a family act singing on the radio in Iowa, and eventually recorded straight country material that went nowhere. When they hooked up with the husband and wife songwriting team of Boudleaux and Felice Bryant, they went straight to the top of the charts with "Bye Bye Love" and a slew of other songs including "All I Have to Do is Dream" and "Wake Up Little Susie." The brothers' career at the top of the charts was over by the early 1960s -- at least in the United States. The strain of a life together took its toll on them and they split up in 1973. They reformed in the 1980s and remain an extremely popular concert attraction at home and abroad. The group was enormously influential on groups including the Beatles, the Rolling Stones and the Hollies.

<description><![CDATA[Singer-songwriter Dion first hit it big while singing lead for Bronx doo-woppers the Belmonts, a group credited as being one of the best and most innovative Doo-Wop groups of the era. Being white surely helped the Belmonts rise above many of their African-American peers; nevertheless, Dion masterfully combined suave Vocal Pop with more energetic R&B, giving the group a lively, passionate sound that still wasn't too abrasive for parents. Their biggest hit (and Oldies standard) "Teenager In Love" showcases the peak of Dion and the Belmonts' skills, and stands today as one of the greatest Doo-Wop songs ever.

<description><![CDATA[The Killer still sounds much the same as he did in the late 1950s. His trademark pumping piano and wild mix of country with R&B sounds just as fresh and vital as it did forty years ago. Lewis' crazy stage antics masked his innate shyness. While it was his image that helped propel him to national attention, it was his songs that kept him there: ÂWhole Lotta Shakin' Going On,Â ÂGreat Balls of Fire,Â and ÂBreathlessÂ have defined rock Ân' roll. Lewis' personal life turned out to be as wild as his stage persona and helped to ruin the first phase of his career Â his drinking, incest, gun violence, and drug addiction had the press vilifying him as a walking southern stereotype. He made a comeback in country music in the late Â60s and had a long period of success there. Since the Â80s he has continued to stun live audiences by performing his classic material. To this day, Jerry Lee Lewis gives off more energy than a nuclear reactor, and he's just as volatile.

<description><![CDATA[The good times start the second the needle hits a Fats Domino record. His Boogie-Woogie piano style meshes seamlessly with his charmingly laid-back vocals. He put out hit after hit during the '50s -- "Ain't That a Shame," "I'm Walking," and "Blueberry Hill" still float by on late night K-Tel commercials. A follower of the New Orleans R&B tradition, Domino was one of the few founders of rock 'n' roll who was widely respected by jazz and blues fans. When pop passed him by, he was still embraced in clubs and concert halls around the world. His last hit was a cover of "Lady Madonna" -- a song that the Beatles structured as an homage to his classic style.

<description><![CDATA[Some folks say that Little Richard invented rock 'n' roll. Others say Van Halen did, but those people usually smoke a pack of "Reds" a day and ride dirtbikes even though they're in their twenties and still carry a big comb in their back pockets. If Little Richard didn't invent rock 'n' roll, he's certainly responsible for reshaping its sound and style. By merging Gospel music with Cajun R&B and hyper Boogie-Woogie piano playing, Little Richard spawned a high-voltage, kinetic sound that has influenced everyone from Pat Boone to Jimi Hendrix, as well as almost every British Invasion band of the 1960s. Adrenaline-surged songs like "Tutti Frutti" and "Keep a Knockin" have been covered time and again by artists who appreciate and respect Little Richard's ongoing no-holds-barred electrifying performances and his uplifting, soulful songs. Anyone who has ever tried to sing along with one of his tunes has soon found out that it is nearly impossible to match Little Richard's elasticity and intensity. Just ask Cindy Crawford.

<description><![CDATA[Many consider Rick Nelson a classic teenage idol. Because of his clean-cut looks and the fact that his music consisted of watered-down Rockabilly and Soul, it took years before he would be considered anything other than a pretty face. Millions of television viewers saw Nelson's face each week on the <I>Ozzie and Harriet</I> show. As luck would have it, all his early singles found their way onto the show, continually rocketing him to the top of the pop charts: indeed, he reached the Top-40 thirty times between the years 1957 and 1962, second only to Elvis. When the TV show was cancelled in 1966, Nelson was able to concentrate solely on music. He formed a Country Rock band -- one of the first, in fact. Tragically, he died in 1985 in a plane crash while on his way to a New Year's Eve show in Dallas, Tex.

<description><![CDATA[Yes, this is the group that took "Shining Star" to the top of the charts in 1980. But long before that, the Manhattans had proved themselves to be a stellar vocal Soul group. From the moment they scored their first hit in 1965, they always seemed to have bucketloads of R&B and crossover pop hits that reflected the changing times -- from sophisticated Soul to Disco and beyond. These days, the Manhattans still tour the world and show how it's done.

<description><![CDATA[The Coasters were one of the greatest vocal acts of the 1950s, and their songs remain among the most entertaining in pop history. They had numerous hits (almost all penned and produced by the legendary Leiber & Stoller), but the two tracks that still play heavily today are "Yakety Yak" and "Charlie Brown." However, as perfect as these two songs are, the rest of the Coasters' catalog offers plenty of humor, irony and sly social observations. Many of Lieber & Stoller's finest numbers, from "Three Cool Cats" to "Smokey Joe's Cafe" to "Riot in Cell Block #9," were vehicles for the Coasters and deserve to be heard as often as "Yakety Yak."

<description><![CDATA[Beginning as a five man outfit of skilled Doo-Wop crooners in 1953, the Dells first hit the chart jackpot with "Oh, What a Night," a simmering bit of lush balladry that showcased the band's ability to weave their vocals into plush, layered harmonies. A near decade-long hiatus followed, but their status as a hit-making factory was cemented in the mid-1960s when they churned out a series of hits that shook off Doo-Wop's genteel mannerisms for the grittier sounds of Soul. Led by the contrasting voices of Marvin Junior and Johnny Carter, the Dells' songs traded lead vocals between the gruff 'n' tumble Junior and silky voiced Carter, resulting in a patchwork of sound that was both dynamic and compelling.

<description><![CDATA[Southern-born, Los Angeles-based Rivers is the living embodiment of the swinging Sunset Strip scene of the mid-1960s. In 1964 the singer/guitarist had a record-breaking residency at the famed Whiskey A-Go-Go, where he and his very tight, rocking band would pack them in for night after night of Chuck Berry-inspired rock and southern soul. Rivers held his own against the British invasion, having a huge hit with Berry's "Memphis," and later with his signature "Secret Agent Man". As well as having a long string of hit singles to his name, Rivers is a quintessential music business insider in the best sense. He was instrumental in supporting the early career of songwriter Jimmy Webb, and he founded the influential Dunhill Records, the home of the Mammas & the Papas, Steppenwolf, and others.

<description><![CDATA[Blowing open the doors for Latino rockers coming out of East L.A. in the late '50s, the legendary Ritchie Valens had a sharp, crisp sound that helped to define rock 'n' roll in its teething days. The classic sound of his twangy guitar and strong, swinging backbeats were created from a unique infusion of Latin into Rockabilly.

<description><![CDATA[Born Baldemar Huerta in Texas over half a century ago, singer, songwriter and guitarist Fender has an astonishingly soulful voice that finds him right at home singing country, Rockabilly, R&B, Swamp Pop and all manner of Tex Mex music. He began his career singing primarily in Spanish in the 1950s and gained a regional reputation in Texas. In an effort to broaden his audience, he adopted the stage name Fender and embraced Rockabilly and R&B music. Although the sides he recorded didn't have much success, they remain as wild and visceral as any regional rock 'n' roll recorded. Fender was busted for marijuana and served a 3-year jolt in prison, which pretty much set his career adrift after his release. Fender was on the fringes of the music business for almost 10 years until he hooked up with legendary Huey P. Meaux and released the song "Until the Next Teardrop Falls" on Meaux's Crazy Cajun label. The song was a huge hit, and the follow up "Wasted Days and Wasted Nights" was just as big, ironically making the journeyman Fender into an overnight sensation. He remained a big star for the rest of the 1970s. After sitting out much of the 1980s, Fender emerged with fellow Texans Flaco Jimenez, the late Doug Sahm and Augie Meyers in the highly acclaimed Tejano supergroup Texas Tornadoes.

<description><![CDATA[Born Charles Westover in Coopersville, Michigan, Del Shannon is known today for his dramatic, atypical 1961 single "Runaway," as well as a handful of songs that charted into the 1980s. Throughout his career, Westover leaned toward darker material with often unusual instrumentation, setting him apart from the rest of the pre-British Invasion crowd. In 1968, he released the overlooked, semi- psychedelic gem <i>The Further Adventures of Charles Westover</i>, a truly strange album coming from a former teen idol. With its somber tempos and mournful orchestration, the album seems like a poppier, less unhinged mirror image of Skip Spence's <i>Oar</i>. Westover was, however, doomed to fall into similar circumstances as Spence, mental health-wise. His career stopped in the '70s while he battled alcoholism, finally making a comeback in 1983 with the Tom Petty produced <i>Drop Down And Get Me</i>, which yielded a minor hit in "Sea of Love." In February of 1990, Westover took his own life with a .22 caliber rifle.

<description><![CDATA[Led by the brilliant Curtis Mayfield, the Impressions spear-headed the transformation of doo-wop into Soul music. Mayfield looked to the smooth strains of Gospel music rather than to other street corner vocal groups and wrote deceptively simple, stripped-down arrangements on such classics as "It's All Right." Always an elegant, harmony-rich outfit, the Impressions started referencing the civil rights struggle on such hits as "People Get Ready" and "This is My Country" without ever getting heavy-handed or forgetting about crafting great songs. Mayfield became an R&B mover and shaker, writing and producing for other acts before going on to an impressive solo career in 1970. The Impressions carried on without their leader after 1970 and their later work, while not groundbreaking, remained top-shelf Soul. The Impressions left an R&B legacy equal to that of Ray Charles, Sam Cooke, Marvin Gaye or Stevie Wonder.

<description><![CDATA[Bill Haley combined Western Swing with R&B and took Rock 'n' Roll to the top of the charts in 1955. "Rock Around the Clock" was a little known B-side that took off when it was featured in the first (and best) juvenile delinquent picture, <i>The Blackboard Jungle</i>. While Haley's Western Swing material was actually wilder than his cutting edge Rock 'n' Roll, he is definitely an artist deserving more respect. He quickly went out of favor when other early rockers -- such as Elvis Presley and Jerry Lee Lewis -- were able to throw a whole lot of charisma in with their Afro-billy sounds. Haley rocked but he looked like a square while he was doing it.

<description><![CDATA[Carl Perkins is the godfather of Rockabilly. He wrote songs for Elvis, Patsy Cline and Johnny Cash and has influenced everyone from the Beatles to Brian Setzer. With country-inflected bouncy bass shuffles, octane-boosted drum pops that can actually keep up, and white lightning guitar-picking hellfire, Perkins still has the smoke of pure rock 'n' roll inside his soul.]]></description>

<description><![CDATA[Starting off as a Doo-Wop sensation in the 1950s, the Imperials have never lost the swinging choral sensibility that made them the darlings of the scene. They had a string of solid hits clear into the '70s, including "Tears on My Pillow," "So Much" and "Going Out of My Head." And no wonder: as Little Anthony's precious, high-pitched tenor soars and clips itself in mock agony over the Imperials' saccharine "ooh"s, everything has to be well.

<description><![CDATA[Having two hits ("Whispering Bells" and "Come Go With Me") helped elevate the Del-Vikings into the stratosphere of the crowded Doo-Wop world. Despite being one of the most popular Doo-Wop groups -- and the first integrated act to really make it big -- the Del-Vikings' career was mired by military careers and, to a greater extent, complicated contractual string-pulling that had a number of different versions of the group recording the same songs for different labels. Regardless of the behind-the-scenes mess, the Dell Vikings' songs stand as some of the strongest, warmest Doo-Wop numbers ever recorded.

<description><![CDATA[One of the founders of rock 'n' roll, Lloyd Price was a mainstay of the New Orleans R&B sound. He scored a long line of hits including "Ain't it a Shame," "Personality" and "Stagger Lee" in the '50s. Price entered the (reputedly nefarious) business end of music while still a star, but has since returned to performing.

<description><![CDATA[Beginning in 1951, Chicago vocal group the Flamingos presaged the Doo-Wop era by several years. Best known for their smooth, sophisticated harmonies and lush orchestration, the group struck gold in 1959 with the crossover hit "I Only Have Eyes for You," a song younger listeners may recognize for its constant use in various television commercials over the years. Amazingly, the group scored chart hits until 1970, and to this day they remain a favorite of vocal group aficionados.

<description><![CDATA[The Vogues were a swell band from Pittsburgh who meshed bleached Doo-Wop with Garage Pop in the pre-hippie '60s. Their folkified "Five O'clock World" remains one of the joys of AM radio but soon after it hit the charts they transformed themselves into a more traditional vocal quartet. At their best the Vogues sounded like the Byrds turning the Lettermen onto a whole new scene.

<description><![CDATA[Big Joe Turner, not to be confused with the great piano player by the same name, could bring a house down with his earth-shaking power vocals. His voice spanned generations -- he was an important figure singing Boogie Woogie and Jump-Blues, later rocking audiences with classic early rock 'n' roll classics like "Shake, Rattle and Roll."

<description><![CDATA[Any real fan of 1950s rock 'n' roll recognizes the brilliance of Gene Vincent, also noting how horribly underrated and overlooked he is. Capitol Records signed Vincent in an unsuccessful attempt to unseat Elvis Presley as the king of rock 'n' roll. Compared to Vincent, Presley was like Wonder Bread -- an easy sell across race and class boundaries. With his pock-marked face, greasy hair, lanky stance, and limping walk -- not to mention his haunting, trembling voice -- it's a wonder Vincent made it as far as he did. However, his strident Rockabilly songs with his backing band the Blue Caps have always stood out. Shaped by Cliff Gallup's remarkably brisk guitar work, a wobbly echoing bass, and snappy snare action, the Blue Caps' songs could send listeners into a frenzy just as easily as they could sedate them into a close slow dance. Vincent's music stands well on its own, without overused Presley comparisons. He still doesn't receive as much credit as he's due, but his impact has left an undeniable impression on rock 'n' roll.

<description><![CDATA[Former Alaskan middleweight Screamin' Jay Hawkins popped up in the late '50s as the polar opposite of such comparably family-oriented rock 'n' roll fare as Fats Domino or Chubby Checker. His bizarre showmanship and on-stage theatrics were a shot in the arm to early rock 'n' roll and a far cry from the comparatively restrained rebellion involved in doing "the Twist." His primitive version of rock consisted of spare instrumentation and manic booming vocals that spouted off about spell-casting, alligators, demons and -- of course -- constipation. His theatrics involved rising out of a casket at each performance, maintaining a friendship with a smoking human skull, and other general voodoo-isms. His campy schtick has landed him a secure place in the annals of rock while also securing a string of followers in bands like The Cramps or the Demolition Doll Rods.

<description><![CDATA[Bobby Rydell was one of the biggest teen sensations in pre-Beatles America. Today he is sometimes dismissed as a prefab Bobby Darin because of his knack for taking on every style -- from pop to R&B to country. Unlike such greasy-haired heartthrobs as Fabian and Frankie Avalon, Rydell could really sing and didn't need to hide behind studio gimmicks. His female fans aged with him and kept Rydell going as a top concert draw.

<description><![CDATA[The premier close-harmony vocal group of the 1950s, the Four Freshmen were a mainstay of proms, car radios and basement make out sessions. They really weren't as square as their senior prom fashion sense -- they often featured jazz backings, had scores of immitators, and were a major influence how Brian Wilson crafted the Beach Boys' vocal sound.]]></description>

<description><![CDATA[The one-lunged guitar king of instrumental Punk rock guitar, Link has influenced everyone from Pete Townshend to the Cramps. He had a chart hit in the '50s with what is probably his best known song, "Rumble," a menacingly slow, crudely recorded instrumental meant to approximate a gang fight. Wray went on to record many more instrumental sides throughout the '60s, including "Jack the Ripper" and "Ace of Spades," both of which have been recorded many times by various Garage Punk and Psychobilly bands. Wray recorded for Polydor in the '70s, singing more and revealing a tough raw voice and a natural affinity for early rock and punked up R&B. He gained more exposure by recording and touring with rockabilly revivalist Robert Gordon in the late '70s. His early '80s album <i>Live at the Paradiso</i> reveals a burning live set with an intensity that performers half his age would find hard to muster. Currently living in Europe, Wray, who is nearing seventy years old, continues to tour and put out records on a regular basis. Look for him in your town.

<description><![CDATA[The three players of the Paladins -- drummer, guitarist, and stand-up bass player -- work together as tightly and precisely as the components of a gun. And this gun can fire just about any type of ammunition at hand from Rockabilly to R&B, from blues to Swing. They may have come from California, but the Paladins have as much hillbilly fire in their music as all of hell and half of Georgia.

<description><![CDATA[An often-overlooked rock 'n' roll legend, Eddie Cochran's contributions to music can't be measured by his activity in the record charts alone. The stompin' teenage anthem for all generations "Summertime Blues" was his only song to hit the Top-10. Beyond that, Cochran had a number of equally vibrant songs. Using an echo-chamber, he got an Elvis-like vocal sound -- something that many singers in the late '50s sought. What set Cochran apart was his down-up strumming style and innovative overdubbing in the studio -- two little-used techniques in rock music at the time. He also wrote, sang, and played much of his own material. A rich, full, Rockabilly sound that absolutely hollers fun.
