Our Take

Gene Vincent's music is like a fine wine - it only gets better with age. The Indispensable Vol. 2 (1958-1962) is a time machine back to the golden age of rock 'n' roll, where leather jackets and slicked-back hair were the norm.

Vincent's raw, gritty vocals are on full display on this album, transporting listeners back to the days of smoky dive bars and juke joints. Tracks like "Be-Bop-A-Lula" and "Race with the Devil" showcase his undeniable talent for blending rockabilly with a touch of rebellion.

The infectious energy of Vincent's music is impossible to ignore, with each track practically begging to be danced to. Though some may dismiss him as a one-hit wonder, this compilation proves that his influence on rock music is far-reaching and enduring.

From the fiery guitar riffs to the pounding drums, every element of The Indispensable Vol. 2 (1958-1962) is a testament to Vincent's place in music history. Whether you're a die-hard rock 'n' roll fan or just looking to expand your musical horizons, this album is a must-listen for anyone with a pulse.

So sit back, crank up the volume, and let Gene Vincent take you on a wild ride through the heyday of rock 'n' roll. Trust us, you won't regret it.

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.
