You won't find Ben Hewitt in any chart books and he won't even make the footnotes of most histories of rock 'n' roll, but his music said far more about the spirit of rock 'n' roll than anything you'll see on MTV or hear in today's strictly formatted corporate music scene. He was certainly one of our favorite artists here at Bear Family. He'd made a handful of records for Mercury in the '50s, and we discovered him in Niagara Falls, Canada. We brought him over to Germany for our Tenth Anniversary Concert in 1985, and he went over really well, easily eclipsing Jack Scott, the ostensible star of the event. Ben Hewitt then recorded an album of new songs for Bear Family, which has now been reissued with the addition of four songs. In it, you'll hear the humour and essential good-naturedness of Ben Hewitt, as well as his unabashed love of good old rock 'n' roll.

Titles include Florida Rain, Some Auto Billy Blues, Call Mama On The Phone, Ophelia, and I Wanna Love You Tonight. For new music that really captures the looseness, spirit and informality of the great old records, this should not be matched!'
