Help Me Devil - Lokanta Hell (Käytetty CD)
€10,00Quick ViewWhat is Rock ’n’ Roll? Nobody will just call it the devil’s music. Not anymore. Too bad.
Unfortunately now people think that Rock music and Rock ’n’ Roll are the same. Well, they are not. Rock ’n’ Roll is bigger and much better.
HELP ME DEVIL -Juancar Parlange (guitar & vocals), Mario Vega (bass) and Julia Perez (drums) – also know the difference. They hate Rock. They love Rock ’n’ Roll. And they know much more than that.
They know that Rock ’n’ Roll is about being young at heart, is about getting the crazy ideas out of your head and putting them into the world in the most uncorrupted, brash, uncalculated manner possible. And at the same time they know that rock ’n’ roll is the common tradition of all the past and the beginning of everything new. A kind of folk music based on the blues. Finally they know that Rock ’n’ Roll is a lifestyle. A crossroad. A deal with the Big Black Man”.
In ”Lokanta Hell”, HELP ME DEVIL’s second album, produced by Matt Verta-Ray and recorded at NY Hed studios, NYC (USA). you will find all this. and more:
Three chords and the truth. Thirteen new songs. Plus one Hasil Adkins cover (HMD recorded Hasil’s ”Chicken Walk” for their first album). A tribute to Uncle Silas Payne (a blind man who lived with Sam Philips when he was a child). Screaming vocals, vibrant black and white guitars, good old backbeat rhythms, rattling keyboards, beating hearts, sweat, love, and passion. With Daddy Long Legs (who has just released his first LP with Norton records) playing blues harp and screaming. Mickey Finn (Left Banke, Boss Hog) playing piano and organ. Tetsua Hayakawa (Das Boot) lead guitar on ”Too much rice, too little chicken”. And Matt Verta-Ray (Heavy Trash, Speedball baby) on several tracks.”

Various - Gravy Train (CD)
€7,50Quick ViewWhen retracing the confluence of black and white music of the 20th century, especially the marriage of a country performer with an R&B beat, the popular opinion is that it started with Elvis and rockabilly. The relationship, of course, extends back much further than that, and this collection offers a couple of dozen examples of hillbilly boys jumpin’ the blues in the decade preceding the rock ’n’ roll revolution. Are you ready for the Honky-Tonk Blues?

Various - Kick-Started by the King (CD)
€15,00Quick ViewRhythm & Blues with the Essence of Elvis.
Maybe all roads lead to Elvis, or maybe they all originate from him. The theory of six degrees (or less) of separation holds true here and is illustrated on this compilation. Roy Hamilton and Brook Benton were both much admired by Elvis, Jesse Stone wrote songs that Elvis covered or performed and also pulled together the Cues.
The Cues included Jimmy Breedlove and Ollie Jones, Stone backed Hamilton on Crazy Feeling, Blackwell also wrote some of Elvis’ biggest hits and co-wrote with Winfield Scott (also on the MGM We Wrote ‘Em We Sing ‘Em compilation and working with Jesse Stone and the Cues).
Lavern Baker directly responds to the King’s recording of Little Sister with Hey Memphis and Elvis also covered her song You’re The Boss (recorded with Bass man Jimmy Ricks, also connected to Ollie Jones via the Ravens) with Ann-Margret for Viva Las Vegas, Clarence Paul wrote a song Roy Hamilton had a hit with, Elvis sang one of Ollie Jones’ songs, Blackwell wrote for Elvis and Dee Clark and Elvis and Dee Clark also worked with the same drummer, Jerome ‘Stump’ Monroe…the permutations are almost infinite.
This compilation pulls together recordings by a roster of stars that are influenced by or evocative of Elvis’ style or material. Alternatively, Elvis was influenced by some of these singers or songs. We invite you to listen to this selection and ponder for yourselves the interconnectivity and small world of Rock and Roll…or maybe just enjoy the music!
