Album: The R&B Years 1956 Volume 1 (Boulevard Vintage 2007)

The latest in the excellent Boulevard Vintage series contains 50 tracks over two CDs – all from the first six months of 1956. A companion volume devoted to the rest of the year is due later in 2007. 1956 was a pivotal year – not just for R&B, but for popular music as a whole. [...]
