Vive Le Rock 'n' Roll The Unruly World of French Rock 'n' Roll 1956-1962 CD
Rock 'n' Roll first gripped French Republic in 1956. This compilation celebrates how France took on rock and roll and made it its own. From the first record to tackle the American export - 1956's rock and roll mops - to tough and ready early '60s rockers Les Chats Sauvages and Les Chaussettes Noires. With Johnny Hallyday's first home recordings and the earliest French tracks by Vince Taylor, the leather-clad maverick France adopted as their own, Vive Le Rock 'n' Roll takes a wild ride through an exotic musical world like no other.
