5.0 out of 5 stars A Rebel Rouser!, February 8, 2002

By A Customer

This review is from: James Dean: Tribute to a Rebel (Audio CD)

This collection does a good job of capturing James Dean's reckless and devil-may-care attitude toward life. Of course, it includes such obvious tributes like David Essex's "Rock On", Jan & Dean's "Dead's Man Curve" and The Shangri-La's "Leader of the Pack." But it also includes tributes to Dean's era, like Chuck Berry's "No Particular Place to Go" and Beach Boys' "Shut Down."

An interesting idea that Dean would appreciate. So rock on, James Dean!

5.0 out of 5 stars Rock On!, January 31, 2002

By A Customer

This review is from: James Dean: Tribute to a Rebel (Audio CD)

James Dean, who died tragically in 1955 before the movie "Rebel Without a Cause" was released, was an inspiration to many rock'n'roll songwriters. This compilation pays the actor a tribute, beginning with the timeless rocker "Rock On" by David Essex and ending with "A Young Man is Gone," a relatively unknown though haunting song sung by the Beach Boys. The sound quality is excellent on all the songs. Personally, I love all the songs, but don't like the order, so I "program" this one. I also wish there were more songs included like "Rebel Rebel" by David Bowie, but, hey, you gotta live with that, put on your rockin' shoes and rock on!

I really liked the cd the first time I got it. I ended up losing it, and decided to purchase another one. I gave it to a dear friend of mine for her birthday. So, yes I will probably purchase it again!
