Music For Cruizin'® - On The Road Again
When I first heard Elvis it was if a line had been drawn in the sand separating all that went before and all that followed: it was rock'n'roll. Today we have the internet for global communication, but back in the fifties it was the radio. And it was the radio that introduced me to music. I didn't realise it at the time but my destiny was being shaped by a music revolution called rock'n'roll. It was a language of pop culture that was fresh and transferable and like so many of my generation; music encapsulated the rebellion of youth.
Familiar twelve bar blues riffs, a catchy back beat, and uncomplicated lyrics combined to create a revolutionary sound that became part of that generation's cultural vernacular. And the music kept coming as the rock classic of the sixties leveraged off the fertile roots of the previous decade to sound track a time that became forever embedded in the memories of a generation of boomers.
So when I was asked to compile a collection of songs for this album I wanted to choose content that pulled those heartstrings, and not only include some of the great anthems of popular music but also some of those "lost 45's" - gems you haven't heard for a while but deserve another spin.
Music For Cruizin'® is dedicated to all those boomers who hit the highway in their youthful days of Holdens, Harley's and Hotrods and can't wait to get 'on the road again' with a musical companion that speaks to their generation.
