• Ronnie Hawkins is best known as the man whose backing musicians later became the legendary rock group The Band (they accompanied Hawkins as one incarnation of The Hawks). However, Hawkins is also one of the great forgotten American performers of the ‘50s era and one of the most colourful personalities and under-rated giants of rock & roll.

• A consummate performer, he made the leap from high-powered rockabilly to folk to heartfelt country just as he relocated from deep in the heart of Arkansas to the bitterly cold streets of Toronto. This quintessential release compiles his two best albums: ‘Ronnie Hawkins’ (1959) and ‘Mr. Dynamo’ (1960). Both rock & roll gems contain the cream of the crop from Hawkins’ hit-making stretch for the Roulette label during his early years. In addition, there are 5 bonus tracks from the same period.

• These splendid recordings feature a virtual who's who of great musicians including Robbie Robertson, Levon Helm, Jimmy Ray Paulman, Sam Taylor and Floyd Cramer, among others.

• Total Time: 68:17 mins. - 29 tracks (including 5 bonus) - also includes: 16-page booklet, rare photos, vintage visual memorabilia & detailed liner notes.

• “Ronnie Hawkins, I would say, is, beyond a shadow of a doubt in my mind, one of the greatest kings of rock and roll.” - Jerry Lee Lewis
