For most listeners, the three-disc, 86-track Sanctuary/Castle collection Rock
Island Line: The Singles Anthology 1955-1967 will be nearly as overwhelming as
the eight-disc, all-encompassing Bear Family box More Than Pye in the Sky, since
a little Lonnie Donegan can go a long way for the average listener. But, for
those who decide to dig into this collection, theyll quickly discover that he
was a remarkably consistent performer and a little more diverse than his skiffle
origins would suggest. Skiffle might have been a bit of a straightjacket - it
had very rigid rhythmic rules - but Donegan acted more like a folksinger anyway,
using skiffle as his foundation and then delving into American folk and country,
blues, and a little bit of gospel. He was a good singer and a lively performer,
navigating these changes rather easily, and while there wasnt necessarily great
development over the years, there was consistency. So, if you decide that you
need a comprehensive Lonnie Donegan collection that is nevertheless not entirely
complete, this is an excellent choice, but do be forewarned: If youre not
already converted, a little of this does go a long way.
