"THE VIN STORY" Johnny Vincent Presents New Orleans Rock 'n' Roll, R&B, and Blues 1958-1961

Vin was Ace Records' subsidiary label; it ran between 1958 and 1961, issuing 29 singles during that period. No hits were forthcoming, but a major chunk of great music was, and this 30-track overview brings home the goods in a very big way. In addition to the New Orleans homegrown sessions from Huey Smith, Handsome Earl (King), Morgus and the Ghouls (early Mac Rebennack and Frankie Ford), Jesse Allen, Calvin Spears, Albert Scott, and Frankie Lee Sims, the label also issued masters from rockabilly ravers the Phaetons ("I Love My Baby"), Bobby Woods ("Love Is My Business"), Elton Anderson (the swampy "Shed So Many Tears"), Johnny Angel (an early stab at "Teenage Wedding"), Jimmie Lee ("Look What Love Will Do"), and Harry Lee "Everytime I See You"), all of whom check in with high-voltage sides. A compilation that stays solid from beginning to end, this is an offshoot label collection that really has something to offer. Highly recommended.(Cub Koda, All Music Guide)
