Editorial Reviews

2009 three CD set led by the great Lonnie Donegan, the British artist solely responsible for the creation and rise of the Skiffle sound in the UK during the late '50s and early '60s. The first two discs feature classic Lonnie tracks like 'Rock Island Line' while Disc Three features many of his exciting contemporaries. Big 3.

This review is from: Original Hits of the Skiffle Explosion (Audio CD)

I had forgotten what a great entertainer Lonnie Donegan was until I listened to this CD. Now I remember why we were all wild about him in the 50s. Even though he was so popular, still he was underrated. This cd has all the hits we loved, and some extras from other performers of that era. A great cd to own.
