Jerry Lee Lewis changed Rock n Roll. Hitherto, R&R records had been predominantly either sax or guitar dominated, piano having largely been relegated to a supporting role, as part of the rhythm section. Even Little Richard s strident piano was usually buried under layers of riffing saxes. But after Jerry Lee, things were noticeably different - and on the back of his success, a whole lot of piano-pounders were to enjoy a new, reinvigorated lease of life. Of course, Boogie-Woogie went right back to the birth of recorded sound, a staple element of Blues repertoire, aptly demonstrated herein by Pete Johnson, Camille Howard, Little Willie Littlefield, Amos Milburn and Cecil Gant, whilst Merrill E.Moore, Chuck Miller, Moon Mullican and Freddie Slack present equally-powerful white, Countrified interpretations. Jerry Lee, of course, brought Boogie-Woogie to Rock & Roll, but guys like Owen Bradley, Roy Hall, Floyd Cramer - and particularly, Chuck Berry s collaborator, Johnnie Johnson - sure knew how to lay down a rockin solo or two, as they so readily demonstrate. Fats Domino s easy-rollin , New Orleans style adapted readily to rock n roll, whereas his near-neighbour Professor Longhair trod a somewhat funkier path, sticking closer to R&B - as did guys like Champion Jack Dupree, Huey Piano Smith, Ike Turner, Rosco Gordon and Lloyd Glenn. Ray Charles music crossed so many genres he was virtually impossible to categorise, as was, perhaps to a lesser extent, Piano Red. All these and more are featured on this unique 3-CD set, which presents 75 wild, piano-propelled slices of R&R, R&B, Boogie-Woogie, Blues, Country and raw hillbilly music. Featuring more than thirty different piano-pumpers, the pace never lets up and all musical boxes are well and truly ticked. The booklet is laden with 50s vintage pics and memorabilia, and also includes detailed liner notes from R&R guru Stuart Coleman.
