"This album isn't easy to rate. Despite being a big Chuck Berry fan, I'm left a bit disappointed with this record. Nearly half the album are instrumentals, and none of them are all that interesting. There are still good tracks to be found here especially on the re-issue version that I own and am r..."  [+]  Reply

"A trip around the world with Frank Sinatra, all the way from exotic booze in Bombay to pizza in his very own living room, come fly with me, follows Frank from Capri to Vermont, from Paris to Hawaii. Some great songs in the title track, let's get away from it all, and, Brasil. An enjoyable record ..."  [+]  Reply

"If you look for this album on spotify, you'll find it under this title: "They're off and rolling" Says Archie Wikipedia has no mention of this title, but that's the title on Spotify."  Reply

"Amazing piano playing. Matchbox, Jambalaya, High School Confidential are key tracks. Has the talent of playing and singing of Little Richard, but not the same song writing skills."  Reply

"Basie's best record is a classic for Big Band Jazz. Arranged by Neal Hefti and featuring some great tenor sax work by Eddie "Lockjaw" Davis. Easy to see how this recording rejuvenated Basie's career. Best Tracks: Midnite, Fantail, Spanky, Duet, Teddy the Toad."  Reply

"Muddy Waters epitomizes the blues. Others have had more commercial success, there have been many superior players, and most are more charismatic. However, nobody makes you believe he's suffered and hustled through life like Muddy Waters. "I'm Ready" IS the blues. This album should be the first bl..."  [+]  Reply

"This is Elvis' first compilation from 1958 and it features most of his hit singles that did not get an album release back then, including Hound Dog, Don't Be Cruel, Jailhouse Rock and most of his pre-Army smash hits. This is a must listen and a must have!"  Reply

"This album feels like it is just there in my opinion, it is neither good nor bad. The rhythms just don't captivate you as much as you would think a dance album would do. I find myself struggling to even bop my head along to some of the songs. It is a little slow in places as well and does drag ev..."  [+]  Reply
