PLEASE, NOTE: Liner notes in German language!
While the church, law enforcers and the politically retarded countered the wild hordes of semi‐starlets and hedonistic teenagers with perfidious tricks and brute force, a very unique German variant of rock & roll emerged. The writers and musicians were particularly taken with the twist. In the USA, one dance style chased the next, while in Germany, people continued to compose twist. So we were spared grotesque quick‐fire creations like the ‘Wattenscheid Watusi’ and the ‘Fürst Metternich Madison’.
Bear Family Records® presents with the third part of ‘Rockin’ With The Krauts’ rare, forgotten and even totally wacky tunes: Freddy Quinn’s At The Hop shines with a very ambitious drummer, Horst Jankowski works off Jack Scott’s The Way I Walk and Toni Cavanaugh tries to understand the Hamburg slang with the Hummel Twist!
Italian shouter Rita Pavone has immortalized herself in the German charts with the twist rocker Wenn ich ein Junge wär and the Odd Persons are in no way inferior to the Yardbirds and their title Jeff’s Boogie with Odd’s Boogie. Will Brandes whips through Elvis’ King Creole and rocks the hell out of it, while Chubby Checker probably delivers his hardest rock number here with Autobahn‐Baby! As a bonus, there is the crazy Bundesbahn Blues by the Austrian Helmut Qualtinger, which today has more relevance than ever!
