Let It Rock: the Best of Georgia Satellites

Let It Rock: the Best of Georgia Satellites
Customer Review: What rock ‘n roll!!
I was on a ‘plane back from Canada, and a track “Keep your hands to yourself” by Georgia Satellites was on the music offered. I had never heard of the group before,being rooted firmly in 60’s music, but thought the track was brilliant. I had to wait 45 minutes for it to come round again, and ditto! I bought this CD when we got home, and it has hardly left my machine since then!
If you like out and out rock ‘n roll, with a touch of blues, buy this - fabulous!
Not so sure about the cover versions, though, but the rest of the CD is well worth getting

Customer Review: Short lived group knew how to rock’n'roll
Rock’n'roll had its heyday in the fifties but the combination of simple music and high energy often resurfaces in an updated form. The Georgia Satellites exemplified everything that a great rock’n'roll band should be, even if their music was updated for the eighties.

The group only recorded three albums although various extra tracks were also recorded. The result was one big hit, Keep your hands to yourself, and two lesser hits, Battleship chains and Hippy hippy shake (a cover of a song made famous in the sixties by the Swinging blue jeans, a Liverpool group).

They wrote most of their own material but they recorded several covers. Apart from Hippy hippy shake, this collection also includes Don’t pass me by (Ringo Starr), a live version of Let it rock (Chuck Berry) and Another Saturday night (John Fogerty) – this track also includes a brief piece of Rocking all over the world (another John Fogerty song) at the end.

If you are looking for high energy rock music, this is for you.
