All or almost all of Rick's rockers on one CD! If you are an old rockabilly cat like me or a new rockabilly cat for that matter your collection isn't complete without this one. There is a weak cut or two here . For instance he should have left "Whole Lotta Shakin" alone or tried another arrangement. But overall it's great fun. Rick could rock for sure and was always backed up by a very tight band no matter who was in it! If you are a guitar player both Burton and Maphis are in top form here. This CD fits right in with Carl, Gene, Eddy, Elvis and all the other great Rockabilly artists. Highly recommended!

5.0 out of 5 stars Ricky Rocks! Ricky Rules!, October 5, 2000

This review is from: Rockin' With Ricky (Audio CD)

This is EXACTLY the Rick collection I was looking for. Straight-ahead Rickabilly with nary a ballad in the bunch. Rick was truly bad to the bone, as important as Elvis or Carl Perkins (who were big Rick fans themselves). This would make a great companion piece to any Sun Records collection you might have a mind to pick up (Elvis, Carl, Roy Orbison, Johnny Cash, Charlie Rich, Jerry Lee Lewis). Make Rick an important part of your daily Rock-n-Roll diet.

4.0 out of 5 stars Some Hard To Find Gems, June 1, 2000

This review is from: Rockin' With Ricky (Audio CD)

Some of the tracks on this CD are from Ricky Nelson's first stereo LP "Songs By Ricky" (1959). Several of these songs aren't available on any other CD. I don't agree the sound quality is that bad. The mono tracks sound typical for what I've heard on other Ricky Nelson reissues. The stereo tracks sound really good. The following tracks are true stereo - - 17, 23, 25, 26, 27, 28, 29, 30, 31, and 32. The back of the CD states "transferred from original analogue master tapes". The back of this CD also labels which tracks are stereo or mono, which is how it should be done on all oldies CD's.

This CD is produced by ACE. The CD insert (pamphlet) is several pages long and includes several black & white/color photos of Ricky.
