Format :Flac
This 30 track remastered collection of songs performed by rockabilly legend Gene Vincent features his hits "Be Bop A Lula," "Race With The Devil" "Blue Jean Bop," "Pistol Packin' Mam," and his wild interpretation of "Unchained Melody."
Vincent Eugene Craddock was born in Norfolk, Virginia, on February 11, 1935. He grew up under the influence of country, rhythm and blues and gospel music. He showed his first real interest in music while his family lived in Munden Point, Virginia, near the North Carolina line, where they ran a country store. He received his first guitar as a gift from a friend at the age of 12.
Following a visit to Europe in 1959, Vincent managed to attract a new huge and discerning audience there, especially in the United Kingdom and France. By that time his career had mostly ended in the US. On April 16, 1960, while on tour in the UK, Vincent, Eddie Cochran, and songwriter Sharon Sheeley were involved in a high-speed traffic accident in a private hire taxi. Vincent broke his ribs and collarbone and further damaged his weakened leg. Sheeley suffered a broken pelvis. Cochran, who had been thrown from the vehicle, suffered serious brain injuries and died the next day.
