Gene Vincent And The Challenge Sessions


Gene Vincent had been on the Rock & Roll B-list in America and become a conquering hero in the UK. He lost his best friend. As he slid into middle age in the middle of the sixties, his work reflected the rough road that had led him to a point we can conjecture he wasn't sure how he found. Fans of Rockabilly usually ignore his work from this time, and it is almost completely forgotten. This is a huge mistake, as the artistry of these recordings, made for a label called Challenge, are the strongest reflection of Gene as an artist that exist.

Buy it for way the hell too much money, or try other means.
