WearYourWigHatOnYourHead

…is a real mixed bag - from Power Pop to 50s Rock ‘n’ Roll, from 2000 back to 1957 it’s all here. I hope you do enjoy this compilation.


Mojo Nixon really knows what R ‘n’ R is all about, and that the Martians also are part of it. The Forbidden Dimension are Canucks and impressed me with that special laughter. Larry Collins was 13 when he played the lead guitar and sang on “whistle bait”. His sister Lorne was 15. And can somebody tell me about Buddy Covelle, rock ‘n’ roller par excellence? Yeah, Del Shannon ventured into areas far beyond Teen Pop, and we all know that Dave Berry made great records. But we didn’t know that Huevos Rancheros had their Latin spick and span.
