Gene Vincent is one of those names that always comes up when you mention 1950s Rock ‘n’ Roll. Alongside his Blue Caps, he formed part of the generation that shaped the genre and set it off on its journey. Known for standards such as Be-Bop-A-Lula and Say Mama, his recorded legacy is larger than one may assume.
Originally pressed as an LP in the United States, the album Sounds Like Gene Vincent, was first issued in 1959. Bear Family Records add to their Gene Vincent catalogue with a 10-inch vinyl reissue of a Japanese version of the album. Featuring a reproduced sleeve and bonus tracks; is it worth picking up?
The tracklisting on this release differs from the LP because of the shorter playtime, and because it possibly aimed at another market. The revised content results in a slightly more mellow album that just grooves along at a slow pace, with a couple of more uptempo numbers. Johnny Burnette’s compositions My Heart and I’ve Got To Get To You Yet are highlights, along with the catchy In Love Again and his rocking interpretation of Maybelline.
