The only female rocker of the 1950s to blow Wanda Jackson out of the water,
Virginia native Janis Martin earned her moniker as “the female
Elvis”. Janis’ sobriquet alone fostered great expectations for the
young performer in the 1950s. As the fusion of R&B and country evolved into
rockabilly, and a charge of primarily male artists heralded its arrival, she was
a rarity – though her musicianship, charismatic stage persona and a
series of memorable recordings meant the annals of history would not dismiss her
as a novelty. This quintessential collector’s edition includes 30
remastered studio tracks, consisting of the sensational recordings Janis Martin
made for RCA-Victor and the Palette labels between 1956 and 1960. Her vocal
abilities, witty lyrics, and all-star accompaniment (featuring the same
Nashville session players that Elvis Presley used on some of his most famous
hits) proved a stellar combination. The impressive guitar legend Chet Atkins is
featured here, in addition to a virtual who’s who of great sidemen
including guitarist Grady Martin, bassist Bob Moore, pianist Floyd Cramer and
Elvis’ original backing group, The Jordanaires, among others. These
underrated gems are widely regarded as the finest work of Martin’s career
and among the greatest hot numbers of rock & roll’s golden era.
