Description
Preston Epps is the only bongo player to achieve legendary status in the history of rock 'n' roll. Bongo Rock remains one of the most popular instrumentals having made America's Top 20 in 1959.
This twenty-eight track compilation includes everything Preston Epps recorded between 1958 and 1962, all of his American and British single releases, and his American EP and LPs, the first of which made the Top 40 Best Selling Albums Chart in America.
The compilation includes tracks written by such legendary names from the Los Angeles music scene as Sandy Nelson, Jack Nitzsche and Barney Kessel, plus several tracks appearing for the first time on CD.
This release is a fitting tribute to Preston Epps, a rock 'n' roll pioneer who died in May 2019, aged 88.
