The very best of Ronnie's Rock 'N' Roll recordings for Quality and Roulette, including the hits 'Mary Lou' and 'Forty Days'. The all-time wildest Rock 'N' Roll from the golden era! Includes a previously unissued rockabilly gem from 1958 and the very first recordings by The Band. "The last of the original Rock 'N' Rollers" - beyond essential!
Ronnie Hawkins is a rockabilly singer who formed his original backing band, the Hawks, while attending the University of Arkansas. After auditioning unsuccessfully for Sun in 1957, he started working regularly in Canada the following year, eventually taking up permanent residence there. After one release on the Canadian Quality label, he signed with Roulette in New York in 1959, having hits with "Forty Days" and "Mary Lou." The live fervor of Hawkins (known as Mr. Dynamo) and the Hawks' show continued in Canada after all the original members except Levon Helm headed back to the U.S. Hawkins quickly hired Canadian players Robbie Robertson, Garth Hudson, Rick Danko, and Richard Manuel as the new Hawks. They stayed with him until 1963, but later became Bob Dylan's backing group and went on to a career of their own as the Band. Hawkins has remained a legend in Canada, recording unrepentant rockabilly sides and gigging constantly. He's still the original Mr. Dynamo, capable of shaking the walls down any old time he feels like it.
Running a generous 32 tracks, Bear Family's Ronnie Rocks is an excellent collection of Ronnie Hawkins' rockabilly for Roulette Records. There are many other compilations that cover the same ground but no others cover it quite so extensively – which might not quite be the same thing as thoroughly, as the title is a tipoff that the music here is all high-octane rock & roll. Often, this comes in the guise of covers – Hawkins runs through the Chuck Berry ("Thirty Days," "Forty Days") and Bo Diddley ("Hey Bo Diddley," "Bo Diddley," "Who Do You Love") songbooks, and picks up some Sun records ("Matchbox," "Honey Don't," "My Gal Is Red Hot"), a bunch of R&B sides (Hank Ballard's "Sexy Ways," Larry Williams' "Dizzy Miss Lizzy"), and some Dixie-fried rockabilly ("Suzie Q"). All this is confirmation that Hawkins was perhaps the epitome of a working roadhouse rock & roller during the late '50s and early '60s: not someone who innovated but one who gave the people what they wanted, bashing out crowd-pleasers one after another. He had an excellent ear for material that extended into being an excellent bandleader, both traits in evidence here and both of which make these covers rousing. But when Hawkins had his own song – as he did on the slinky minor-key rocker "Mary Lou" – he was truly outstanding. And this has the most of his outstanding material in one big package.
