The Ultimate Rockin' Halloween Party (American Horror Songs 1930s - 1950s)
These Viper compilations are always good value, and arriving just before the season of the witch is upon us, the timing is most fortuitous for this spooky trawl through Americana, incorporating horror-themed rock & roll, rhythm & blues, jazz and doo-wop, predominantly culled from the 1950s. Bo Diddley, Screamin' Jay Hawkins and The Big Bopper are among the artists lined up here, tapping into the American post-war appetite for drive-in fodder with impressive efforts like Leroy Bowman & The Arrows' 'Graveyard' (just the sort of thing you could imagine The Horrors covering) and direct B-movie plunderers such as The Five Blobs' novelty instrumental 'The Blob' and Sheb Wooley's 'The Purple People Eater'. The compilation closes on a particularly old entry - The Five Jones Boys' 1937 recording 'Mr Ghost Goes To Town', an eccentric blues number that's perhaps more of the era and temperament you'd encounter on Mississippi compilations. Excellent stuff.
