"More Wild & Frantic" Vol 2 - 1995 VA

Featuring 26 more black killer dillers with a heavy beat competing with Little Richard's trained tonsils. 75 minutes of 50s r&b rockers.26 tracks, highly recommended. Another exciting collection of hot black rock 'n' roll and R&B showing the influence of the great Little Richard. There are some familiar items here along with whole lot of obscure items - there is also some duplication with Mr. Maestro 300. There is even a cut by the man himself featuring his fabulous 1959 recording of Fats Domino's I'm In Love Again which was issued under the name of his backing group The Upsetters as Richard had supposedly given up rock 'n roll for religion at the time! Among the gravel voiced rockers here are Vinni Vincent, Joe McCoy & His Real McCoys, The Royal Jokers, Kid Thomas (his classic though frequently reissued Rockin' This Joint Tonite), Otis Redding (one of his first recordings from 1961), Billy La Mont, Baby Cortez, Don Covay, Jimmy Breedlove, Pretty Boy, Bunker Hill (with a vocal that make Richard seem tame!), Andy Wilson, Johnny "Rockhouse" Green, Mr.P.T. & The Party Timers and more. Excellent sound and booklet has artist photos and label shots. (FS)
