Our Take

If you're a rockabilly fan in need of a little pick-me-up, look no further than "Rip It Up - Tribute To Gene Vincent Vol. 2." This album is a rollicking good time, filled with covers of some of Gene Vincent's greatest hits by a lineup of talented artists.

With tracks like "Be-Bop-A-Lula," "Race With The Devil," and "Lotta Lovin'," this album pays homage to Vincent's iconic sound while also adding a fresh twist. The musicians on this record really know how to capture that vintage rock 'n' roll vibe, with plenty of twangy guitars, slapback reverb, and heartfelt vocals.

One standout track is the energetic rendition of "Bluejean Bop" by The Stray Cats. Their tight harmonies and slick guitar licks really bring this classic song to life in a way that's both faithful to the original and completely their own.

Overall, "Rip It Up - Tribute To Gene Vincent Vol. 2" is a joyous celebration of one of rock 'n' roll's true pioneers. It's the perfect soundtrack for a dance party in your living room or a road trip with the windows down. So grab your blue suede shoes and get ready to bop along to these timeless tunes. This album is a real gem that will have you rocking and rolling all night long.
