Hank Ballard: Hank Ballard - Rocks (CD)

1-CD (Digipak) mit 36-seitigem Booklet, 30 Einzeltitel. Gesamtspieldauer ca. 79 Min.

Es war Hank Ballard, der mit seiner Band Ende der ‘50er Jahre mit The Twist das größte bis dato erfundene Tanzthema kreierte.
Bear Family Records® widmet nun Hank Ballard & The Midnighters ein CD-Album in der langlebigen ‘ROCKS’-Reihe.
Mit Nummern wie Work With Me Annie oder Annie Had A Baby hatte Ballard bereits Mitte der ‘50er Jahre die US-Charts erobert.
Produzent Nico Feuerbach und Autor Bill Dahl haben die erfolgreichsten und großartigsten rockenden R&B-Nummern sowie die gewaltigen Twist-Erfolge aus dem King/Federal-Katalog zu einem äußerst tanzbaren Projekt zusammengefasst.
Umfangreiches, reichlich bebildertes Booklet mit sachkundigen Linernotes von Bill Dahl und sorgfältig neu gemasterte Aufnahmen aus den Archiven von Gusto Records.

Zu Beginn ihrer langen Zusammenarbeit mit King/Federal Records in Cincinnati spezialisierten sich Hank Ballard und seine hochkarätigen Midnighters auf gewagte, doppeldeutige Songs wie Work With Me Annie, den unvermeidlichen Nachfolger Annie Had A Baby und Sexy Ways, die die Grenzen des guten Geschmacks kühn überschritten und Mitte der 1950er Jahre die R&B-Charts stürmten. Als sich das turbulente Jahrzehnt dem Ende zuneigte, erfanden Hank und seine wilde Crew aus Detroit das größte Tanzthema von allen, The Twist, und legten mit einer Reihe weiterer Erfolge nach. Beide Phasen des umfangreichen Vermächtnisses der Gruppe sind auf 'Hank Ballard and The Midnighters Rock' in Hülle und Fülle vertreten.

Zu den Höhepunkten gehören auch Finger Poppin' Time, Let's Go, Let's Go, Let's Go und The Hoochi Coochi Coo. Holen Sie Ihre Tanzschuhe raus - Chubby Checker mag zwar die Twist-Krone gewonnen haben, aber Hank Ballard and The Midnighters haben die USA von Küste zu Küste gerockt, lange bevor Chubby überhaupt ein Aufnahmestudio von innen gesehen hat - diese Philosophie spiegelt sich auf dieser Platte wider. Wenn es um Rock 'n' Roll-Tanzmusik ging, waren Hank und seine Gruppe das Nonplusultra!

The king of the risqué double-entendre R’n’B rockers!

His songs have stood the test of time and still sound dangerous today. Lock up your daughters when Hank comes to town!

Hank Ballard, the man behind The Twist ROCKS!!!!!

Hank Ballard, the man behind the twist fly with the song "The Twist" which Chubby Checker did a cover of and had a hit with first in 1960 and also in 1962. Ballard's original version went to #6 on the R&B chart and #28 on the pop chart. The album "Rocks" lives up to its name with a collection of excellent tracks. But he had hits before that, his first coming in 1953 with "Get It" and the following year a triple with probably his most famous tracks "Work With Me Annie", "Sexy Ways" and "Annie Had A Baby" all three of which challenged the section of the public who saw themselves as "decent", the chart positions however show that the sales figures were high. All of these were released on King's sub-label Federal. In 1959, he was transferred to King and began with the aforementioned "The Twist". The following year it again hit number one on both the R&B and pop charts with the album's opening track "Let's Go, Let's Go, Let's Go", which I think is his best song. In addition to these, the album has more hits like "Finger Poppin' Time (#2 on r&b and #7 on pop in 1960), "The Hoochi Coochie Coo" (#7 r&b #23 pop in 1961), "It's Love Baby (24 Hours A Day)" (#10 in 1955). The year 1961 was good for Hank with four top 10 placements. The booklet is rich in great color images and should appeal to the most discerning.

Hank Ballard was one of the greatest singers in the pre-soul generation!

Hank Ballard was one of the greatest singers in the pre-soul generation – the kind of vocalist who provided inspiration for so many others to come in the 60s – a raw lead singer who really drove his group to great heights – as you'll hear here in this hard-rocking collection of tracks from the best years of the group! Most of these numbers were cut by Hank and The Midnighters for King Records – the kind of raw gems that made the label one of the best of the 50s when it came to all things hard and heavy – and the collection of cuts definitely features the kind of tracks that live up to the title – the work that made The Midnighters one of the first great crossover acts, even before rock and roll was a thing for the kids in the suburbs! Every track's a winner, and the superb Bear Family presentation knocks the set out of the park – with titles that include "Henry's Got A Flat Feet", "That House On The Hill", "Annie's Aunt Fannie", "I Feel That A Way", "Sexy Ways", "Sugaree", "Shaky Mama", "Are You Forgetting", "Stingy Little Thing", "Rock Granny Roll", "The Float", "Big Red Sunset", "I'm Young", "Don't Let Temptation Turn You Round", "Tore Up Over You", and "Don't Ever Change Your Pretty Ways".
