Editorial Reviews
Here's the original wild woman of rock 'n' roll! She signed with RCA two months after Elvis and cut unvarnished rockabilly and rock 'n' roll for the next two years. RCA wasn't kidding when they dubbed her 'The Female Elvis'. Backed by crack Nashville and New York session men, she cut 26 stellar cuts like Drugstore Rock 'n' Roll, Will You Willyum, My Boy Elvis, Bang Bang, Love Me To Pieces, Ooby Dooby, and Let's Elope Baby. All 26 RCA cuts are here together with a 1960 Palette session that included Teen Street and the honky tonk classic Cry Guitar. CD comes with 16-page booklet including photos and bio information. One of our very first CDs - and still one of the best!

The Female Elvis,
By Martin 13 (Slovenia) - See all my reviews
This review is from: The Female Elvis: Complete Recordings 1956-60 (Audio CD)
This is fine example of polished rockabilly from the 50's! Janis Martin rocks with Nashville session players like Chet Atkins (on guitar), Floyd Cramer (on Piano), Grady Martin (on guitar), Murray Harman, Jr. (drums), Bob Moore (bass),... Same musicians who were playing for Elvis. Sessions were produced by Steve Sholes, who was Elvis' producer too. Good rockabilly and nice country ballads!

Janis Martin - smooth voice, great guitar,
This review is from: The Female Elvis: Complete Recordings 1956-60 (Audio CD)
Well, I just started my Rockabilly collection, and this looked like one to definitely have. I bought this with Wanda Jackson's Queen of Rockabilly CD. I am thoroughly enjoying both. Janis Martin has a very smooth voice, less edgy than Wanda Jackson's. This CD is excellent and provides some great classic Rockabilly guitar sounds, and Janis' voice is just great. I'd definitely recommend this to Rockabilly fans. I personally prefer Wanda Jackson's Rockabilly style (a little more edgy and wild) to Janis Martin's, but both are excellent examples of women who knew how to rock and roll in the 50s/60s.

5 isn't enough.!!!,
This review is from: The Female Elvis: Complete Recordings 1956-60 (Audio CD)
This is such a great album, simular to bad girl Miss Wanda Jackson, but mellow almost like a patsy cline style, well mix em up and there you have Janis Maritn. She's absolutley great and you will not be dissapointed!They don't say the female Elvis for nothing;)
