Ritchie
Valens -
Rockin' All Night - Very Best Of...
Few know that Ritchie
was one of the first guitar-slinging rock n' rollers (along with Bo Diddley,
Eddie Cochran et al.) to fuse his tunes with the raw energy used later
to create “garage” rock. “Rockin' All Night,” the title of this Best Of
CD, captures Valens in his prime. |

Chan
Romero - Hippy, Hippy Shake
Like Ritchie Valens,
Latino-rocker Romero was a hip-shakin' rebel-rouser who felt just as
comfortable singing a heartfelt ballad. The title track (“Hippy Hippy

UK's Swinging Blue Jeans, who scored a Top Five smash with it.
