The title of this 27-track collection might have you expecting something a little nastier and raunchier than this anthology of women-sung {|rock & roll|} from the mid-'50s through the early '60s, much (though not all) of it {|rockabilly|}-based. It does rock along respectably enough, and opens a window into the more obscure early women rockers, though the absence of any sides by {|Wanda Jackson|}, {|the Collins Kids|}, {|Brenda Lee|}, and {|Janis Martin|} means that it's far from a best-of for this sort of thing. None of these cuts were hits, and just a few of the artists' names will mean anything to most collectors, those being {|Jackie DeShannon|} (represented by a 1959 single she cut under the name {|Jackie Shannon|}), {|Sparkle Moore|}, {|Sun|} artists {|Barbara Pittman|} and {|the Miller Sisters|}, and future {|country|} star {|Billie Jo Spears|}. Certainly the hottest numbers are those by Nebraska wild woman {|Moore|}, whose yelping {|Skull & Crossbones|} (which leads off the CD) is an acknowledged {|rockabilly|} classic, and is also heard on previously unissued alternate takes of {|Killer|} and {|Tiger.|} Much of the rest, in common with many genre rarity comps, is more acceptably accomplished than exciting, the {|rockabilly|} material tending toward the spirited but generic. As archeological evidence that more women were rocking during the time than has been generally acknowledged, it certainly has interest, with some of the more satisfying entries coming from detours from the {|rockabilly|} format. {|The Mystery Trio|}'s {|Willie Joe,|} for instance, sounds a little like a female counterpart to {|the Fendermen|}'s {|Mule Skinner Blues|} with its speedy {|folk|}-{|bluegrass|}-influenced guitar and vocal lines; {|DeShannon|} sounds like a slightly smokier, bluesier {|Brenda Lee|} on {|Just Another Lie|}; {|the Miller Sisters|}' {|Someday You Will Pay|} is more harmonized {|Western swing|} than {|rockabilly|}; {|Donna Dameron|}'s {|Bopper 486609|} is an answer record to {|the Big Bopper|}'s {|Chantilly Lace|}; and {|Spears|}' previously unissued {|Get Behind Me Satan and Push|} is quite good twangy {|country-pop|} that's closer to {|country|} than {|rock & roll|}. ~ Richie Unterberger Music>Music>Pop Rock>Pop Rock>Pop Rock, DARK PEAK PRODUCTIONS Core >3<
