Buddy Knox - Buddy Knox (1958)
Pop/Rock (Rock and Roll) | Vinyl Rip | MP3 320 Kbps | 56,2 Mb
Point Records P-201

Buddy Knox was the first artist of the rock & roll era to write and record his own number one hit, a pioneer of the Lone Star State rockabilly sound that would later earn the name "Tex-Mex," the arc of his career anticipated that of fellow Texan Buddy Holly, yet while Holly is now enshrined in the pantheon of rock's true immortals, Knox's contributions remain sadly underappreciated.

Louis Prima - The Wildest! [Expanded] (1957)
Jazz | AAC 256 Kbps | 80 Mb
2002 Blue Note Records.

A veritable greatest-hits album, The Wildest! is the gem of Louis Prima's catalogue. None of his other efforts transcend its raunchy mix of demented gibberish, blaring sax, and explosive swing, which rocked as hard as anything released at the time. Almost all of Prima's signature songs are found here: "Just a Gigolo/I Ain't Got Nobody," "Oh Marie," "Jump, Jive, an' Wail," and "Buona Sera," to name a few. A plethora of greatest-hits packages (especially Capitol's Collectors Series) may offer wider song selection and greater value, but the reissue of Prima's masterpiece is a welcome event that's been a long time coming.
