Cruisin' 2CD

Gene Vincent - Cruisin' 2CD

Gene Vincent was one of the original wild men of rock 'n' roll, and this double-CD collection brings together 54 tracks mixing familiar classics with rarer recordings. From Spaceship To Mars and I Might Have Known through Pretty Pretty Baby, Brand New Beat, Bop Street and Double Talkin' Baby, this is a substantial collection of the music that established Vincent as one of the most distinctive and influential rockers of the 1950s.

There is a terrific mixture of hard-driving rockabilly, ballads and lesser-known sides across the two discs. Alongside the essential Blue Jean Bop, Say Mama, Lotta Lovin', Dance To The Bop, Be-Bop-A-Lula, Race With The Devil and Cruisin' are gems including Jumps Giggles And Shouts, B-I-Bickey-Bi Bo-Go-Go, Cat Man, Rocky Road Blues, Pink Thunderbird, Teenage Partner and Bird Doggin'. The collection also includes Vincent's versions of Over The Rainbow, Unchained Melody and Pistol Packin' Mama, showing the breadth of his repertoire.

With 54 original Gene Vincent recordings across two CDs, Cruisin' is packed with the rockin' energy, attitude and unmistakable vocal style that made Vincent a true rock 'n' roll legend. A great collection for anyone who wants plenty of the classic material alongside some less familiar sides from one of the genre's most enduring stars.
