The Wild One - Very Best Of... CD

Johnny O'Keefe • The Wild One - The Very Best CD

The Wild One - The Very Best brings together 24 tracks from legendary Australian Rock 'n' Roll pioneer Johnny O'Keefe, capturing the wild energy and unmistakable character of one of the country's most important early Rock 'n' Roll stars. From the explosive Do You Love Me, You Excite Me and Move Baby Move to the immortal The Wild One (Real Wild Child), this 2008 collection showcases O'Keefe at his most exciting.

The selection ranges across O'Keefe's best-known Rock 'n' Roll recordings and later interpretations, including Shout, So Tough, Ooh Poo Pah Doo, Rock 'N' Roll (It Will Stand) and (You're So Square) Baby I Don't Care. There's also plenty of variety, with To Love Somebody, Save The Last Dance For Me, When I Fall In Love and I Can't Stop Loving You demonstrating the breadth of O'Keefe's repertoire, while Mockingbird features Margaret McClaren.

The collection closes with Jet and Iggy Pop's The Wild One, a tribute to Johnny O'Keefe that underlines the lasting influence of Australia's original wild man of Rock 'n' Roll. With 24 tracks spanning the hits, favourites and distinctive interpretations that made O'Keefe such an enduring figure, The Wild One - The Very Best is a superb introduction to one of the great pioneers of Australian Rock 'n' Roll.
