All the best tracks from the godfather of thre British Rock n Roll and skiffle scene.

The importance of Lonnie canoot be overemphasised. In Britain his early releases had as much affect onthe youth of the day as Elvis' Sun releases did over in the good old U S of A. It's fair to say that without him many a young man may never have had the urge to pick up and guitar and form a band (John and Paul anyone??). Whilst his name is known, many people are only aware of his more obvious tracks (Cumberland Gap; Freight Train;Rock Island Line) and his novelty releases (Does Your Chewing Gum Lose It's Flavour On The Bed-Post Overnight?) This compilation sheds light on the wild and varied nature of Lonnie's releases and is definitely worth spinning whether you be new to the game or a seasoned collector.

This set comprises all his major releases from that pivotal period as well as many lesser known, but equally good, tracks It comes wth a good littlre booklet with informative liner note. Tracks are remastered for an excellent sound quality.
