Music : Puttin' on the Style: the Greatest Hits of Lonnie Donegan
As a young lad in the sixties, skiffle was a way of life and the tracks on this, a kind of tribute album really reflect the fun we had and the energy that was expended on the dance floors.
Listern to 'Cumberland Gap' and remember the space on the roads ! Drive the same route with this CD in your motor and the jams will just melt away.

Pulse went on and released "Putting on the country style" and repeated several of the tracks on this cd.Why do they do that?And the Rock island line on both cds is not the original Decca hit!its a later re-recording which has something missing from the original.

If its the original stuff your after this is it.2cds crammed with nothing older than 1956.Its even got Lonnie with Chris Barbers Jazz Band "On a christmas day/Take my hand,precious lord".I had this one on a 78.I`m so glad they have concentrated on these earliest recordings,I recommend you get this while its still available.

Music : Muleskinner Blues
Like many others who grew up in the 60's I was brought up with a pile of Lonnie 78s and thought he was fantastic (but my Dad didn't think so when I broke his 78 copy of Rock Island Line on the autochanger of our record player! I finally managed to replace it last year) This album is excellent for several reasons - it captures the versions of his classic tracks as he was doing them live right up until his death; it shows a wider side to his music rather than just skiffle; and the version of Alabammy Bound with Van the Man is absolutely fantastic! A welcome addition to any collection of Lonnie albums
