The first and only compilation of music by an important but little-reissued singer and songwriter!Includes the original demo recording of Heartbreak Hotel, one of the most important recordings in rock 'n' roll!All eight singles by Glenn Reeves issued on TNT, Republic, Atco and Decca in the 1950s are included!Also here are six unissued 1950s recordings and a very rare single from the 1960s on the Envy label!There are rare photographs and interviews with Reeves's friends and family!The comprehensive booklet by Martin Hawkins covers all of Glenn Reeves's various careers as a singer, songwriter, disc jockey, TV star, music promoter and more!This CD is the first comprehensive look at the career of Glenn Reeves, a man who was at the heart of the emerging rock 'n' roll styles of the '50s, from western bop to early rockers to rocking ballads.Glenn Reeves was an excellent singer although he was eclipsed by the success of others - he recorded 'Heartbreak Hotel' first - and he was a successful songwriter: Honey Bop, Rockin' Country Style, and I Won't Be Rockin' Tonite. But he was even more successful as a TV star on a syndicated show out of Florida in the '60s and as a promoter of massive outdoor country music events in the '70s. His part in the story of rock 'n' roll has been little-known but it is no less important for that, and now it is told in full in words, pictures, and especially in his rocking music.
