Jerry Wallace was a pop and country singer who built a reputation as a performer
before making his recording debut for the Hollywood label Vogue, a division of
Gene Autry's Melody Ranch corporation, and moving around the labels until he
ended up back at Autry's Challenge label in 1957. He is best-known these days
for his Top 10 US pop hit with Primrose Lane in 1959 as he made the transition
into the rock 'n' roll era with a string of hits that lasted into the '70s as he
gravitated to the country charts. This 55-track 2-CD collection comprises most
of his A & B sides from this era on the Vogue, Allied, Mercury, Wing & Challenge
labels, plus the titles from his albums Just Jerry and There She Goes not
otherwise released on singles. It features all his eleven US pop hits from this
era, including the Top 30 entries How The Time Flies, Primrose Lane, There She
Goes and Shutters And Boards. He was an artist with a broad musical base who
could readily handle old-school pop, rock 'n' roll and R&B-flavoured material
(several of his hits made the R&B chart), along with the country style he
increasingly embraced, and this collection is not only a pretty thorough trawl
across his early career but an entertaining showcase for that versatility.
