Chuck Rio - The Tequila Man 1956-1964

(Out of print)

With its raucous saxophone and its repeated shouts of the title, "Tequila" by the Champs remains one of the most irresistible records of the rock'n'roll era. It topped the American hit parade and charted around the world in 1958 and still crops up on television adverts and in films like Pee-Wee Big Adventure (1985) and Teenage Ninja Mutant Turtles: The Movie (1990) when it's not blaring out of a car radio in an episode of a TV series set in the late Fifties. Chuck Rio wrote "Tequila" and played the memorable honking saxophone riff as well as shouting out the track's only lyric in his distinctive gravelly voice.
An original member of the Champs, Rio was edged out of the group by his co-founder Dave Burgess, who gained the upper hand because he was an executive at Challenge Records, the label the band were signed to. Rio subsequently sold the rights to his signature track in the United States but still managed to receive royalties reported to have been in the region of $70,000 a year in recent times from European usage alone.
In the Fifties, he also recorded vocal sides for Modern under his real name, Danny Flores, while, in the early Sixties, he cut surf instrumentals for Saturn with the Creshendoes (who were sometimes billed as the Persuaders behind their leader Chuck "Tequila" Rio). These and his recordings with the Champs were compiled by Ace Records on a CD entitled Chuck Rio: the Tequila Man in 1998. (The Independent)

Thirty-track assortment of sides in which Rio played a part between the mid-1950s and mid-1960s. It's a collection of a few Champs cuts (including "Tequila"), the entire Surfer's Nightmare recording by the Persuaders, issued and unissued material credited to Chuck Rio, issued and unissued cuts credited to Danny Flores, and even one ascribed to "Danny Boy." Rio was a fine saxophone player, and deserves credit for helping spread Latin influences into rock. He takes vocal on a few songs, which are likewise standard gritty '50s rock & roll, with the exception of the odd 1956 hillbilly country outing "Worried, Restless and Sad." (Allmusic)

Six Years Of Power Pop! (Not Lame 2001)

While label-tribute albums to themselves tend to be gratuitous "pat yourself on the back" endeavors, the Not Lame 6th Anniversary Compilation is surprisingly successful. The reasons why, however, are fairly obvious: Not Lame is both a boutique label (focusing on power pop, though they have a broader scope than that title would suggest) and an artist's label, encouraging bands to release albums the way they want to release them, with little label interference. And Not Lame mastermind Bruce Broedeen is in tune with what his fans want, which is why he signs only acts whom he feels are compatible with the roster. All of this amounts to why for Not Lame's first six years, they became a trusted source of guitar pop for fans and a place where music consumers would buy albums based on word of mouth alone. With their sixth anniversary compilation, Not Lame gathers mostly unreleased material from most of their biggest acts, from mini-stars like the Shazam and Myracle Brah to bands to whom they have given generous reissues, like the Posies and the Rubinoos. While some of these acts -- like the crazed country singer Terry Anderson or the plaintive Mark Helm -- may not have been considered power pop were it not for their association with Not Lame, their presence underscores how Not Lame has become a source to find all kinds of like-minded, if sonically different, underground rock & roll bands in one place. And since some of these acts have saved their best material for this compilation, it is an apt tribute to an independent record label that stands for all that's good in pop music and a fitting introduction to their catalog for a novice.

Homesick James - Ain't Sick No More (Bluesway 6071) 1973

His birth date may have been in doubt (he claimed he was born as early as 1905), but the slashing slide guitar skills of Homesick James Williamson were never in question. Many of his most satisfying recordings placed him in solo settings, where his timing eccentricities didn't disrupt the proceedings (though he made some fine band-backed waxings as well).

Funny Papa (Funny Paper) Smith - The Original Howling Wolf (1930-1931) Yazoo L-1031

J.T. "Funny Paper" Smith was a pioneering force behind the development of the Texas blues guitar style of the pre-war era; in addition to honing a signature sound distinguished by intricate melody lines and simple, repetitive bass riffs, he was also a gifted composer, authoring songs of surprising narrative complexity. A contemporary of such legends as Blind Lemon Jefferson and Dennis "Little Hat" Jones, next to nothing concrete is known of John T. Smith's life. Assumed to have been born in East Texas during the latter half of the 1880s, he was a minstrel who wandered about the panhandle region, performing at fairs, fish fries, dances, and other community events (often in the company of figures including Tom Shaw, Texas Alexander, and Bernice Edwards). Smith settled down long enough to record some 22 songs between 1930 and 1931, among them his trademark number "Howling Wolf Blues, Pts. One and Two"; indeed, he claimed the alternate nickname "Howling Wolf" some two decades before it was appropriated by his more famous successor, Chester Burnett. (The true story behind Smith's more common nickname remains a matter of some debate -- some blues archivists claim he was instead dubbed "Funny Papa," with the "Funny Paper" alias resulting only from record company error.) His career came to an abrupt end during the mid-'30s, when he was arrested for murdering a man over a gambling dispute. Smith was found guilty and imprisoned, and is believed to have died in his cell circa 1940. (Jason Ankeny, Allmusic)

Ray Campi & Kevin Fennell - Shake Shack Stomp (200O)

Rockabilly wildman Ray Campi recorded several classic singles during the music's prime era, and later staged a comeback that earned him a substantial cult audience over the '70s and '80s. Campi was born in New York in 1934 and moved with his family to Austin, TX, at age ten. He started listening to country music, learned the guitar, and formed his first band in high school, which played on local radio stations. Campi made his first recordings in 1951, but it wasn't until 1956, when he cut the single "Caterpillar" b/w "Play It Cool" for the small TNT label, that any of them were released. He went on to record for Domino ("Screamin' Mimi") and Dot ("The Ballad of Donna & Peggy Sue"), and moved to Los Angeles in 1959, where he signed with Colpix and recorded "Hear What I Wanna Hear." During the early '60s, Campi lived in New York and spent two and a half years as a staff writer at Aaron Schroeder's publishing firm, but was never allowed to record any of the songs he'd written. He returned to Austin in 1967 and recorded "Civil Disobedience" for the Sonobeat label, but nothing came of it, and he settled in Los Angeles and became a junior-high school teacher. Around 1973, Campi hooked up with Ronny Weiser's revivalist Rollin' Rock label and started making new recordings in the classic, high-energy rockabilly style. A steady stream of albums followed into the '80s, which also brought a couple of sets for Rounder, 1980's Rockin' at the Ritz and 1986's Gone, Gone, Gone!. Campi continued to record into the new millennium, releasing occasional albums on his own label.

Daryl Hall & John Oates - Rock 'N Soul, Part 1: Greatest Hits (1983) [MFSL SACD 2015]

Released at the peak of Hall & Oates' popularity in the early '80s, 1983's Rock 'n Soul, Pt. 1: Greatest Hits effectively chronicles the time when the duo could do no wrong -- namely, the period between 1980's Voices and 1982's H2O, which includes only one other album, 1981's excellent Private Eyes. While this reaches back to their early-'70s work for Atlantic for "She's Gone," the only big hit they had at the label, and also has their two other big hits from that decade, "Sara Smile" and "Rich Girl," the bulk of Rock 'n Soul, Pt. 1 derives from those three albums: "Kiss on My List," "You Make My Dreams," "Private Eyes," "I Can't Go for That (No Can Do)," "Maneater," and "One on One." That's a long list of singles, but it still misses some terrific singles from this era, including "How Does It Feel to Be Back," "Did It in a Minute," "Family Man," and "You've Lost That Lovin' Feeling" (the latter two were included as bonus tracks on RCA/Legacy's 2006 reissue). As good as those songs may be, Rock 'n Soul, Pt. 1 doesn't necessarily miss them: with the exception of a live version of "Wait for Me" (good, but not essential), this is the cream of the crop of Hall & Oates' best period, and it makes for a tight, excellent listen, and it's bolstered by the sublime "Say It Isn't So" and the good rocker "Adult Education." Latter-day compilations like 2001's Very Best of Daryl Hall & John Oates and 2004's Ultimate (which was reissued a year later under the title Essential) may cover their entire career in more detail -- and the duo certainly made great music before and after this era -- but as a snapshot of Hall & Oates at their finest, Rock 'n Soul, Pt. 1: Greatest Hits can't be beat.
