Our Take

Stepping into the toe-tapping world of Floyd Cramer is like diving headfirst into a giant bowl of musical spaghetti - it's a delightful mess of twangy guitars, playful piano riffs, and enough charm to make even the grumpiest cat break into a smile. "The Floyd Cramer Collection 1953-1962" offers a tantalising glimpse into the early days of this legendary musician, showcasing his incredible talent for weaving together toe-tapping melodies with the grace and finesse of a seasoned ballerina.

With tracks like "Piano Roll Rock" and "Flip, Flop and Bop," Cramer takes us on a wild ride through the heyday of rock 'n' roll, effortlessly blending country twang with a healthy dose of good ol' fashioned boogie-woogie. His piano-playing is as smooth as a freshly buttered biscuit, gliding effortlessly across the keys with the funky swagger of a man who knows he's got the goods.

But don't let the upbeat tempo fool you - there's a depth and emotion to Cramer's music that sneaks up on you when you least expect it. Tracks like "Last Date" and "On the Rebound" tug at the heartstrings with their haunting melodies, proving that Cramer was more than just a one-trick pony.

So grab a glass of sweet tea, kick off your shoes, and let Floyd Cramer take you on a musical journey you won't soon forget. This collection is a must-have for any music lover looking to inject a bit of toe-tapping joy into their life. Floyd, we salute you.
