Review Elvis UK Compact Vol 2
March 29 - The Black Roots of Elvis Presley
Publicity stated: Elvis’ original influences have been scrutinised and examined over the decades, and he was always quick to namecheck his main sources and inspirations. Let’s face it, had it not been for Presley, how many of us would have ever heard of Arthur “Big Boy” Crudup?
At the outset of his career there were few suitable original songs being submitted by music publishers, so it was inevitable that he would reach back and revive old favourites. This compilation presents thirty examples, exploring Elvis’ Black music roots and featuring some of the memorable Blues, Gospel, R&B and Doo Wop numbers that he recorded.
Other featured artists include Wynonie Harris, The Clovers, Little Junior Parker, Clyde McPhatter & The Drifters, Roy Hamilton, Lloyd Price, Little Richard, Smiley Lewis, Ivory Joe Hunter, Chuck Willis, The Coasters, and more.
