Play It Cool by Various Artists - DeepRiffs

ALBUM

A fine brace of obscure and collectable singles from the dawn of rock & roll, PLAY IT COOL was assembled by the people at the German Buffalo Bop label and easily lives up to the high standards set by similarly themed Buffalo Bop volumes like CANDY DOLL and HEP CAT ROCKABILLY. Tunes like Floyd Brown’s “What I Want” and Marcel St. Jean’s “Big Black Jacket” neatly mark the historic moment when jump blues and hopped-up hillbilly merged calamitously with the spirit of teenage delinquency to create an entirely new form of music.
