The Songs That Shaped Johnny Kidd and The Pirates CD

Although Johnny Kidd and The Pirates are chiefly remembered for self-penned killers like ‘Shakin’ All Over’, ‘Please Don’t Touch’, ‘Restless’, ‘Growl’ and ‘Feelin’’, they also cut a wedge of powerful cover songs.
This unique collection presents the original versions of many of the songs that they either recorded, or were staple elements of their live sets.
Their initial inspirations came from rockers like Jerry Lee Lewis, Buddy Holly and The Crickets, Little Richard, Brenda Lee, Ray Sharpe, Billy “Crash” Craddock, but they also drew on material from Blues and R&B giants like Muddy Waters, Bo Diddley, Arthur Alexander, Johnny Otis etc.
And when The Pirates reformed in 1976, ten years after Kidd’s death, they kept the flag flying with raucous performances of various Ricky Nelson, Johnny Burnette Trio and Carl Perkins classics.
