VARIOUS ARTISTS - Mighty Instrumentals R&B - Style 1958 (Sealed) (2CD)

Link Wray's Rumble and Bill Doggett's Hold It are the only two big hits included on this collection, which puts a deserved spotlight on both long-forgotten records by established artists and on fabulous obscurities by long-forgotten artists. But rest assured, this is a cracking compilation from start to finish,with Southern swamp rock, spicy New Orleans rhythms and Northern city blues. Guitar and sax-led rockers, slinky organ stompers, Latin groovers - all in all, 60 mighty instrumental stompers from 1958, R&B-style.
