Various The American Roots Of The British Invasion (2002)
Released July 16, 2002\n\nAMG EXPERT REVIEW: The kind of collection that makes you wonder why it \nhasn't been done before, American Roots of the British Invasion collects \nthe original versions of songs that British Invasion artists covered. \nRanging from renditions that are well known in their own right, such as \nCarl Perkins' "Honey Don't!", the Isley Brothers' "Twist and Shout" and \nLittle Richard's "Long Tall Sally" to more obscure originals like Evie \nSands' "I Can't Let Go," the G-Clefs' "I Understand (Just How You Feel)" \nand Bessie Banks' "Go Now," the album reaffirms just how diverse the British \nInvasion's musical roots were. And yet, the mix of rockabilly, country, \nR&B, blues and girl group pop that American Roots of the British Invasion \nworks well as a collection outside of merely being the inspiration for \nthe British groups and artists that shaped '60s -- these songs work well \ntogether simply because they're good and interesting. Fans of '50s and \n'60s music as well as British Invasion groups will find a lot to like \nabout, and possibly learn from, this entertaining collection. -- Heather \nPhares YEAR: 2002
