The Roots of Elvis

Tracks range from the gospel tinged melodies from Martha Carson"s "Satisfied" to the hard rocking proto-rockabilly of Freddie Bell & The Bell Boys" "Hound Dog". Obvious country roots such as Red Foley"s "Hearts Of Stone", Kay Starr"s "Fool, Fool, Fool" & Willy & Ruth"s "Love Me" are complimented with up-tempo R&B from Joe Turner"s "Shake, Rattle And Roll" & tender blues from Ray Charles" "I Got A Woman". The album contains 21 tracks which result in a pretty awesome & eclectic selection. Rev. 2005.
