Jukebox Hits of 1957, Vol. 2

by Jukebox Hits Of 1957 Vol 2 / Various

Overview

Jukebox Hits of 1957, Vol. 2 is a well-chosen and diverse 27-song collection that does a good job of bringing 1957 to life. The songs here come from rock & rollers like Fats Domino ("Blueberry Hill"), rockabilly cats like Ricky Nelson ("I'm Walkin'"), R&B artists like Mickey & Sylvia ("Love Is Strange"), doo wop groups like the Diamonds ("Little Darlin'") and the Del Vikings ("Whispering Bells"), and even a few country crooners like George Hamilton IV ("High School Romance"). Most of the songs are mainstream pop from artists like Tab Hunter, Debbie Reynolds, Gale Storm, and Patti Page, however, which may limit the disc's appeal to fans of rock & roll. This is a nice collection for nostalgia buffs who like their music to go down smoothly. ~ Tim Sendra
