Mac Curtis

Rocks

(Bear Family)

For Ike-era throat Mac, the road that by the 1970s led to Ronny Weiser's Rollin' Rock began at Cincinatti's storied King label. And it's the early recordings he made that are compiled here. He took a back seat to no man when it came to hiccups and frantic yelps; he had the sock before most folks knew what it was. 

Recommended: "Wake Up Rock 'n' Roll Rock-A Baby," "Real Good Itch," "What You Want," "Goosebumps," "Hard-Hearted Girl," "Little Miss Linda," "That's How Much I Love You," "That Ain't Nothin' But Right," "If I Had Me A Woman," "Just So You Call Me," "Grandaddy's Rockin'," "You Oughta See Grandma Rock," "Rockin' Mother," "No," "Good Rockin' Tomorrow," "Good Love, Sweet Love," "Flat Top Cat" (John Lewis)
