Another CD album from the Bear Family Records - Rock'n'Roll CD series - Rocks -

Conway Twitty was one of the most successful country stars of all time. No one ever scored more No. 1 country hits. But before he was a country star, he was a rock'n' roller ? and one of the best. There have been other collections that tried to capture Conway Twitty 's early years, but this one is definitive.

It covers the eight years from his pre-Sun recording of Rock House to the ultra-rare ABC recordings of Such A Night and My Baby Left Me, cut just weeks before Conway Twitty went country. In between are the classic MGM hits and rockabilly high-spots, including Lonely Blue Boy (originally recorded by Elvis as Danny), Long Black Train, Hey Miss Ruby, Is A Blue Bird Blue (the earliest hit for the great Dan Penn), and of course It's Only Make Believe.
