Our Take

Gene Vincent's "Crazy Times" is a rollicking ride through the rockabilly world that'll have you dancing in your blue suede shoes faster than you can say "Be-Bop-A-Lula". This album is a wild and raucous tribute to the rebellious spirit of the 1950s, with Vincent's signature snarl and swagger front and centre.

From the opening track "Hold Me, Hug Me, Rock Me" to the closing number "Cat Man", Vincent showcases his raw energy and infectious charisma that made him a rock 'n' roll legend. The guitar riffs are as sharp as a switchblade, the drum beats are as steady as a heart on the run, and Vincent's vocals are as smooth as a greaser's slicked-back hair.

Songs like "Dance to the Bop" and "I Got a Baby" will have you jiving and wailing like it's the first time you've heard rock 'n' roll, while ballads like "Hearts of Stone" and "Time Will Bring You Everything" show Vincent's softer side, proving he's not just a one-trick pony.

Overall, "Crazy Times" is a timeless classic that still packs a punch over 60 years after its original release. So put on your leather jacket, slick back your hair, and get ready to rock 'n' roll with Gene Vincent, because this album is an absolute banger from start to finish.

About the artist

Gene Vincent

Gene Vincent: The Wild One of Rock 'n' Roll In a music scene overrun with clean-cut crooners and pop idols, Gene Vincent emerged as a rebel with a cause. With his signature slicked-back hair, leather jacket, and leg-shaking performances, Vincent was the embodiment of rock 'n' roll rebellion in the 1950s. Born Vincent Eugene Craddock in Norfolk, Virginia, Vincent rose to fame with his band, The Blue Caps, and scored his first big hit with "Be-Bop-A-Lula" in 1956. The song's infectious energy and Vincent's raw vocals instantly captured the hearts of rebellious youth everywhere. But Vincent's appeal went beyond just his bad-boy image. His music was a potent mix of rockabilly, blues, and country, resulting in a sound that was equal parts dynamic and soulful. Tracks like "Race with the Devil" and "Lotta Lovin'" showcased Vincent's versatility as both a singer and a songwriter. Despite his success, Vincent's personal demons often threatened to overshadow his music. His struggles with substance abuse and legal issues were well-documented, adding a layer of darkness to his already edgy persona. But through it all, Gene Vincent remained an influential figure in the rock 'n' roll pantheon. His impact can be felt in the music of countless artists who followed in his footsteps, from The Beatles to The Rolling Stones. While Vincent may have been known as the "Wild One" of rock 'n' roll, his legacy is one of enduring talent and unapologetic attitude. Gene Vincent may have burned out too quickly, but his flame still burns brightly in the hearts of music lovers everywhere.
