Various „Sputnik! – the Launch of the Space Race“

Am 4. Oktober 1957 brachte die Sowjetunion den ‚Sputnik‘ in die Erdumlaufbahn, und mit dem Aufstieg des Satelliten begann das Weltraumzeitalter.

Rock ’n‘ Roller mit Lust auf verrückte Geschichten gaben der interplanetaren Aktion ihre eigene musikalische Note, ebenso wie Sänger aus anderen Genres – Country, R&B, Pop, Surf und eine Reihe von Stilen dazwischen.

Sie alle sind auf dieser galaktischen Zusammenstellung vertreten, von den Rockabillies Joe Montgomery, Carl Mann und Jerry Engler bis hin zu den R&B-Größen Danny Overbea, Paul Perryman, Frank Motley und dem stimmgewaltigen Jesse Belvin.

Songs über Satelliten steigen in den Äther, unterbrochen von rasanten Instrumentalstücken von Jimmie Haskell, dem Perkussionisten Bobby Christian und dem geheimnisvollen Comrade X (Dorsey Burnette war beteiligt).

Gesangsgruppen kommen mit Vernon Green and The Medallions, The Equadors und The 3 Honeydrops zu Wort, während das instrumentale Meisterwerk Space Guitar von Young John Watson aus dem Jahr 1954 und die unglaublichen, wortlosen Kompositionen des Country-Gitarren-Genies Jimmy Bryant und des Steel-Guitar-Zauberers Speedy West wahrhaftig jenseitig sind.

Unternehmen Sie einen wilden Ritt in die Stratosphäre!
