Various Artists - New Orleans Jukebox Gold 2 / Various - COMPACT DISCS [CD]

2025 holiday . The perfect Christmas present for those who are fed up of being tortured with the worst tearjerkers towards the close of each year - Bill Murray and the groundhog send their greetings! There's plenty on your ears here, with rockabilly at it's very best. In addition to a few classics that are a must, this CD delivers a total of 25 carefully selected rockabilly highlights that leave nothing to be desired. Guests at your Christmas party include Patty Surbey & The Canadian V.I.P.'s, Donny Burns, Marcel Martel, The Four Imperials, Sandy Center, Charlie Stewart, Bill Parker, Tommy Lee & The Orbits and Big Bud. The illustrated booklet contains short brief bios of all the artists, written by Bill Dahl, and the re-mastering ensures an exquisite sound experience.

Fans of New Orleans R&B will have much to rejoice about here with this interesting compilation. Most of the artists featured here are New Orleans all-stars such as Aaron Neville, Lee Dorsey, Ernie K-Doe and Earl King. Other artists in a similar vein such as guitarists Frankie Lee Sims and Elmore James are not New Orleans natives but their singles included here came out on New Orleans labels and were big hits in the Crescent City and fit well thematically on this compilation. If you're looking for big early R&B hits, this is a great place to start. All selections newly remastered.
