"Minnesota Rockers" Vol. 1 (Collector CD)

This state's best known for spawning the Trashmen and before that the Fendermen, and some of these unknowns will show you that wasn't no fluke. Leading the pack is mighty Myron Lee & the Caddies who like to rock out on nursery rhymes like Mary's Swingin' Lamb before they lay into Homicide and Aw C'Mon Baby. The Rhythm Rockers bash out a crude instro Twang, and the Rockin' Tones show us why they won the local talent contest in '58 with What's The Score. Other highlights include the Vibratones' Moanin' Bass, Johnny Val's strange Hey Mama, Damon Lee's Buddy Holly-like Say Mama, and others from the vaults of Gaity and Soma. (Roots & Rhythm)trax:
