Our Take

Carl Dobkins Jr. has a name that sounds like it was plucked straight out of a 1950s teenybopper magazine, and his music is just as nostalgic. The Complete Releases 1958-62 gathers together all of Dobkins' recordings from this era, giving listeners a whirlwind trip back to a time when sock hops and drive-in movies were all the rage.

From the moment you press play, you're transported to a world of sweet, innocent love songs and catchy melodies that will have you tapping your feet in no time. Dobkins' smooth vocals glide effortlessly over the twangy guitars and dreamy harmonies, making each track a delight to listen to.

Songs like "My Heart is an Open Book" and "Lucky Devil" capture the essence of teenage angst and romance, while tunes like "If You Don't Want My Lovin'" and "Love is Everything" showcase Dobkins' versatility as a singer. His ability to switch from heartbroken crooner to upbeat charmer is truly impressive.

The production on these recordings may be a bit dated, but that's part of the charm. It's like stepping into a time machine and experiencing the innocence and simplicity of the late 50s and early 60s all over again. So grab your poodle skirt, slick back your hair, and get ready to bop along to the infectious tunes of Carl Dobkins Jr. - it's a rock 'n' roll rollercoaster you won't want to get off.
