The Cool and The Crazy CD features original 1980s recordings which were intended as the follow-up album to his Rollin' Rock release Rock That Rock but have remained unissued until now. An intended (but never released) single is also included here as a bonus. Rip Masters shows his talents as a singer, piano player, guitarist and songwriter with an eclectic set of songs mixing American Rockabilly, straight ahead Rock 'n' Roll, and a few songs with a more commercial broad appeal too.
