Our Take

Little Richard’s debut album, "Here's Little Richard," is like a shot of adrenaline straight to the eardrums. Released in 1957, this album is a frenetic burst of rock and roll energy that will have you tapping your feet and shaking your hips in no time.

From the moment the opening track, "Tutti Frutti," kicks in with its iconic “A-wop-bop-a-loo-bop” scream, you know you’re in for a wild ride. Little Richard’s raspy, electrifying vocals are complemented perfectly by his pounding piano and the infectious energy of his backing band. The energy never lets up throughout the album’s 14 tracks, with classics like "Long Tall Sally" and "Rip It Up" keeping the party going strong.

What sets this limited edition reissue apart from the original release are the eight bonus tracks that have been added to the end of the album. These extra songs give listeners a deeper dive into Little Richard’s early work and showcase his range as a performer.

Overall, "Here’s Little Richard" is a must-listen for any fan of rock and roll music. This album is a timeless classic that still has the power to get audiences moving and grooving more than 60 years after its initial release. Little Richard may be gone, but his music lives on in this electrifying masterpiece.

Little Richard

Meet the one and only Little Richard, the powerhouse performer who revolutionized the world of rock and roll back in the 1950s. With his electrifying stage presence, flamboyant outfits, and unforgettable voice, Richard quickly rose to fame as one of the genre's most iconic figures. Born Richard Wayne Penniman in Macon, Georgia, in 1932, this larger-than-life musician first burst onto the music scene with his hit song "Tutti Frutti" in 1955. Known for his signature "A-wop-bop-a-loo-bop-a-wop-bam-boom" catchphrase, Richard exuded a wild energy that was impossible to ignore. His energetic piano playing, dynamic vocals, and boundary-pushing lyrics set him apart from his contemporaries, earning him a place in the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame in 1986. With other hits like "Good Golly, Miss Molly" and "Lucille," Richard continued to captivate audiences around the world with his unique blend of rhythm and blues, gospel, and rockabilly. Despite facing personal struggles and challenges throughout his career, Little Richard always found solace in his music, using it as a form of self-expression and empowerment. His influence can be felt in countless artists today, from The Beatles to Prince, who have all cited him as a major inspiration. So, whether you're a die-hard rock and roll fan or just looking to shake things up a bit, do yourself a favor and dive into the vibrant world of Little Richard. With his infectious energy and timeless tunes, he's sure to leave you shouting "A-wop-bop-a-loo-bop-a-wop-bam-boom" for days to come.
