Our Take

Ah, The Roots Of The Beatles, a delightful compilation album that takes us on a journey through the early influences of the fab four. From skiffle to rock ‘n’ roll, this record is a treasure trove of musical gems that shaped the sound of one of the greatest bands in history.

The album kicks off with Lonnie Donegan’s “Rock Island Line,” a foot-stomping track that sets the tone for what’s to come. Donegan’s infectious energy and raw vocals are a joy to listen to, and it’s easy to see why The Beatles were so inspired by his music.

As we dive deeper into the album, we’re treated to classics from the likes of Chuck Berry, Little Richard, and Buddy Holly. Each track is a masterclass in songwriting and performance, and it’s fascinating to hear how The Beatles were influenced by these trailblazing artists.

But it’s not just the big names that shine on this album. The lesser-known tracks, like The Merseybeats’ “It’s Love That Really Counts” and Johnny Kidd & The Pirates’ “Shakin’ All Over,” are hidden gems that deserve a place in any music lover’s collection.

Overall, The Roots Of The Beatles is a must-have for any fan of the Fab Four. It’s a captivating journey through the early days of rock ‘n’ roll, and a reminder of the incredible talent that went into creating one of the most iconic bands of all time. Cheers to that, mates!
