Personnel includes: Nat "King" Cole (vocals, piano). Compilation producers: Paul Atkinson, Carole Cole. Includes liner notes by Billy Vera. Digitally remastered by Bob Norberg (Capitol Mastering). This is part of Capitol's Songbook series. Liner Note Author: Billy Vera. Photographer: William Claxton. Rockin, Boppin and Blues features Nat King Cole's Capitol recordings that were not exclusively focused on the popular romantic music, which often overshadowed the majority of these jazz, blues, and up-tempo tunes. These 18 tracks include "Route 66," "Straighten Up and Fly Right," "Joe Turner Blues" (live), "Send For Me," and "Gee Baby, Ain't I Good to You." Cole was an early inspiration for Chuck Berry, Ray Charles, and Charles Brown amongst numerous others in the R&B and early rock era. While that influence is unmistakable when listening to this collection, Cole recorded his true feelings about the genre on a seven-minute live version of "Mr. Cole Won't Rock and Roll" which closes out this set. For a good companion compilation featuring his romantic sides, pick up Songs From the Heart also a part of the Capitol Songbook Series. ~ Al Campbell
