CD - VA - Leiber & Stoller - The Rockers - That Is Rock And Roll

Lyricist Jerome "Jerry" Leiber and composer Mike Stoller's craftsmen's skill with the pen helped define the sound of Rock 'n Roll and Rhythm & Blues music, and together they wrote over 70 chart hits. The Songwriter album That Is Rock And Roll is the second of two albums that focuses on their mid-1950s and early 1960s collaborations. The Atomicat Records Songwriter Series, Leiber and Stoller, That Is Rock And Roll (ACCD117) includes white and black artists, and many titles on this album are embellished with a humorous vernacular that appealed to the teenagers, and because of this, they became chart hits. Due to the abundance of their legacy, the album has an extra two recordings and contains thirty recordings. Most certainly there are several well-known versions of titles that are purposely omitted, for it is a safe assumption that most of you will have these already. Some titles appear on each of the two albums, all be it in different styles or arrangements and the concept of the albums is to show the adaptations of Leiber and Stroller's songwriting skills. True to Atomicat Records' undertaking we present something unexpected and a little bit different for you to discover.
