16. Ooh! My Soul
17. Kansas City/Hey Hey Hey
18. Bama Lama, Bama Loo
The real King Of Rock & Roll, the Originator, the man who really set the next 50+ years in motion? Little Richard was playing this music years before Bill Haley or Elvis Presley came on the scene, and his early hits were the blueprint for the rock star. Little Richard was crazy, outrageous, and original, and several, including Elvis, patterend themselves after him. These songs were recorded in a flash of mostly 4 years...4 years that completely changed the landscape of popular music. In 1958, at the height of his popularity, Richard walked away from it all for God, but the legacy of the early music will live forever. He came back in the 60's, but his time was past. And he'd already done enough already.
This collection was made out of date by later and fuller compilations from his output in the 50's, but it's still a nice starting point if you can find it. (You'll be better off with 1992's The Georgia Peach.) This also contains a track from 1964 ("Bama Lama, Bama Loo") which is pretty cool. Not a thing wrong musically (and the liner notes HAD to have been written on coke...they're an awesome mess!), but it's incomplete.

1990-RHINO
Produced By JACK CLEMENT
1. Folsom Prison blues
2. Hey Porter
3. I Walk The line
4. Get Rhythm
5. Guess Things Happen That Way
6. Rock Island Line
7. Home Of The Blues
8. Luther Played The Boogie
9. Mean Eyed Cat
10. Big River
11. Next In Line
12. Come In Stranger
13. Train Of Love
14. There You Go
15. Ballad Of A Teenage Queen
16. So Doggone Lonesome
17. The Ways Of A Woman In Love
18. Give My Love To Rose
The early years of the career of Johnny Cash were his most consistent, and his most exciting. He signed with Sun Records in 1955 and made his first record, “Cry, Cry, Cry” (sadly not included here) and “Hey Porter”. Between 1955 and 1958, Cash was the most prolific and consistent of the Sun artists (Elvis Presley left not long after signing), but Cash was unhappy with his contract, and the fact that Sam Phillips was concentrating more on the career of Jerry Lee Lewis. Cash left Sun in 1958 for Columbia, but left behind a treasure of material.
The Sun Years collects the hits from this period nicely, but for the complete picture, you’re better off with the three disc Complete Sun Masters…pricey, but worth it. In the meantime, this album served as the definitive early years best of for Cash, and still fills that role nicely. It’s good to have “Folsom Prison Blues”, “I Walk The Line”, and “Big River” all in one place. Still highly recommended, but the bigger and bulkier mini box set of Sun Masters will make you forget this pretty quickly. [First added to this chart: 04/29/2026]

1986-ELEKTRA
VARIOUS PRODUCERS
1. Killing An Arab
2. 10:15 Saturday Night
3. Boys Don't Cry
4. Jumping Someone Else's Train
5. A Forest
6. Play For Today
7. Primary
8. Other Voices
9. Charlotte Sometimes
10. The Hanging Garden
11. Let's Go To Bed
12. The Walk
13. The Love Cats
14. The Caterpillar
15. In Between Days
16. Close To Me
17. A Night Like This
The Cure were, very simply, the coolest of anyone who played New Wave music. And Staring At The Sea (Staring At The Beach in other parts of the world) collects all of their best songs from their early period: up through 1986. And though they did some great stuff afterward, this is the perfect introduction. Great hooks are everywhere here: even the now creepy "Killing An Arab" sounds great. And while the titles may not ring a lot of bells ("Love Cats" will...such a terrible song, yet so catchy and well done), they'll sound familiar when you hear them. This is a great compilation done the right way. There's no fluff here: it's a true best of.
The Cure is still at it, and Staring At The Sea is still a great album: one of the best snapshots of the early 80's you'll find. And even though a lot of it sounds aged, it doesn't sound out of time...if that makes any sense. A must for any 80's fan. [First added to this chart: 04/16/2026]

1991-SPECIALTY
Produced By BILLY VERA
1. Tutti Frutti
2. Baby
3. I’m Just A Lonely Guy
4. True Fine Mama
5. Kansas City/Hey Hey Hey Hey
6. Slippin’ And Slidin’ (Peepin’ And Hidin’)
7. Long Tall Sally
8. Miss Ann
9. Oh Why?
10. Ready Teddy

15. Can’t Believe You Wanna Leave
16. Shake A Hand
17. All Around The World
18. She’s Got It
19. Jenny Jenny
20. Good Golly Miss Molly
21. The Girl Can’t Help It
22. Send Me Some Lovin’
23. Ooh! My Soul
24. Keep A Knockin’
25. Whole Lotta Shakin’ Goin’ On
Seventeen of the 25 songs here made the Billboard Top 100. Almost all of them were top 10’s, and three went to number one. He also appeared in three films, and was one of the biggest stars on the planet. What’s impressive is that Little Richard accomplished all of this in just two years. And then he walked away from it all for a life as a minister. The impact that Little Richard had on rock & roll in such a short period of time cannot be overstated. He brought raw energy, sexuality, and the high male voice along with faster songs and a sense of danger…all of which are important staples of rock to this day.
The Georgia Peach is compiled only of songs from 1955-1957. And it’s just as full as artists with 25 year careers. His biggest hits are here…”Tutti Frutti”, “Lucille”, “Good Golly Miss Molly”, “The Girl Can’t Help It”, as well as a ton of songs that defined him as a great artist. The Georgia Peach is a perfect compilation, with basically everything you need from his best period. Richard made several comebacks later on, but never with the impact of these fine two years. A must have. [First added to this chart: 03/19/2026]

2007-MERCURY
Produced By CLARK ENSLIN, JOHNNY CASH & BOB HARRIS
1. Ring Of Fire
2. Life’s Railway To Heaven
3. A Wonderful Time Up There
4. Folsom Prison Blues
5. Sunday Morning Coming Down
6. What Is Man
7. Forty Shades Of Green
8. Come Along And Ride This Train
9. Five Feet High And Rising
10. Pickin’ Time
11. A Beautiful Life
12. Hey Porter
13. Ragged Old Flag
14. Tennessee Flat Top Box
15. Ghost Riders In The Sky
16. Jackson
17. The Wreck Of Old ‘97
18. I Walk The Line
There isn’t much information available about this album. There are no liner notes other than listing the musicians and technical support involved, and there seems to be very little known about why the performance was “lost”, or who found it, or when. What is known is that the album was recorded at The Paramount Theater in Asbury Park, NJ on July 28, 1990. Cash had a full 6 piece band and four female singers, including his wife June Carter Cash. And, for 1990, this is a pretty exceptional show by Cash, who had fallen into some fairly bad music at that time…this was more like a show from 25 years before 1990. Cash is in fine vocal form, and in good spirits. June, funny as always, is a hoot as well.
The album begins with a spirited “Ring Of Fire”, then hits a couple of gospel tunes before sliding into “Folsom Prison Blues”. Several of the songs in the middle are short and work as a medley. Closing the show particularly strong, Cash burns through “Tennessee Flat Top Box”, “Ghost Riders In The Sky”, then brings out June for the next two before closing with the classic “I Walk The Line”. This is a fine posthumous release, but it would have been nice if someone had taken the time to give us some background about it. Otherwise, very very good. [First added to this chart: 03/18/2026]

4. Skyline Drive (Angie Stevens)
5. Moonlight (John Common)
6. Fingerprints (Melanie Susuras)

13. Here Comes The Fabulous (King For A Day)
14. 49 Floors (49 Floors)
15. Spinning Around (Kim Jones)
16. Everything (Jason Vigil)
17. Imagine (Something Underground)
This is an annual album put out by Denver radio station 99.5 The Mountain. It consists of live performances by some of the area’s top bands, with the proceeds going to the Music In The Schools initiative. It’s about as good as a compilation like this can be…not every band is going to sound great. But there are some highlights: John Common, Angie Stevens, Yerkish, and several others are as good as their reputations in the Mile High city would suggest.
And, it’s all for a good cause. And it’s a good way to hear what you might be going to check out for the evening. Denver, from the playlist here, has some pretty good live music. If you can get your hands on it (you can actually get this at cdbaby.com), it’s a decent enough collection with just enough average stuff to keep it honest. [First added to this chart: 03/08/2026]
