A 50s treat
9:25am Thursday 10th February 2011 in Album reviews
TAKING us back to the era that paved the way for music as we know it today The Fabulous 50s is a perfectly catalogued album crammed with bopping, lively hits.
The three disc CD swings through the defining classics of a decade which has long excelled the test of time.
With songs where harmony is everything and bands were not afraid to sing soppy lyrics, this 60-track treat is worth every penny.
From the unbeatable swing kings to the smoothing melodies of many blues brothers not a genre-corner is left unvisited during the marathon list of legends including: Frank Sinatra , Johnny Cash, The Teddy Bears and Alma Cogan.
Hitting the shops from last Monday this box set is worth a look
