Very essential release,
April 30, 2002 Cory L. Schwent (Bloomsdale, MO United States) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Moonshine Jamboree (Audio CD)
Once again, another cornerstone of my collection. If you are going to own one release by Moon Mullican, this needs to be it. One complaint though: The notes don't even mention the songs included. They just say "The music speaks for itself." That is inexcusable for such an important CD.

The First King of rock 'n' roll,
June 29, 1999 By A Customer
This review is from: Moonshine Jamboree (Audio CD)
Moon Mullican was the first King of rock 'n' roll and the only artist that ever lived to be the equal to Jerry Lee Lewis and Jimmie Rodgers and this CD is the best to demonstrate why. "Pipeliner blues" & "What's the matter with the mill" are 2 excellent examples of Moon's blues, while his hit,"I'll sail my ship alone" is one of the most touching country songs ever."Rocket to the moon","I done it" & "Rheumatism boogie" are exactly the kind of blues that would be called rock 'n' roll in the '50s. The music on this CD demonstrates possibly the best of Moon's work - which has always been excellent and consistant and this is an ideal introduction to his music.

The original crazy hillbilly at the piano,
December 10, 1999 Twice-lived (Lyons, CO United States) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Moonshine Jamboree (Audio CD)
Moon Mullican wrote the book for every rock & roller who ever sat at the piano and sang. The only white performer on the King R&B label, his music is unique and American.
