Our Take

Ah, Little Richard, the flamboyant pioneer of rock and roll! The Absolutely Essential is a triple-disc collection that gives us a comprehensive look at the early career of this iconic artist.

From the moment you press play, you are transported back to the 1950s, where Little Richard's energetic vocals and infectious piano playing dominated the airwaves. Tracks like "Tutti Frutti" and "Long Tall Sally" showcase his signature blend of rhythm and blues, gospel, and that unmistakable rock 'n' roll swagger.

The production may be a bit dated, but that only adds to the charm of the music. It's raw, it's gritty, and it's undeniably fun. Little Richard's voice soars over the frantic drumming and honking saxophones, creating a sound that is as timeless as it is thrilling.

While some may argue that the album lacks diversity in its sound, Little Richard more than makes up for it with his larger-than-life personality and undeniable charisma. His music is a celebration of life, love, and the sheer joy of making music.

Overall, The Absolutely Essential is a must-have for any music lover looking to dive into the roots of rock and roll. Little Richard may have been small in stature, but his impact on the music industry is immeasurable. So grab your pompadour, put on your dancing shoes, and get ready to rock and roll with the one and only Little Richard.
