At first glance, that might seem unusual - but that is exactly what makes this release so compelling. The Rhythm Rockets are among the most exciting and long-overlooked acts of the early rock'n'roll era, representing a scene that developed its own identity far from the established music centers.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eAt the heart of the story are brothers Ray and Donnie Pate, two teenagers with remarkable talent and determination. Raised on gospel, country and rhythm \u0026amp; blues, they developed their own sound by the mid-1950s - raw, energetic and impressively mature for their age.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eAs rock'n'roll took hold in Florida, the Rhythm Rockets quickly became part of the local scene. They appeared at jamborees, shared stages with artists like Carl Perkins and performed at the legendary shows hosted by DJ Milt 'Mr. Rock \u0026amp; Roll' Oshins. Their only contemporary release came out on Gulfstream Records in 1958 - while much of their material remained unreleased for decades.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThese sessions form the core of this collection. The Pate brothers wrote all of their own material and worked with remarkable dedication in the studio. The result is a set of powerful rockabilly recordings driven by Donnie's distinctive guitar work and Ray's confident vocals.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThat this music was rediscovered only years later adds to its unique appeal. Long available only on obscure compilations and acetate releases, the Rhythm Rockets are now considered a cult name among collectors.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThis collection finally places their music in the context it deserves, proving that rock'n'roll was not confined to Memphis or Nashville - but thrived wherever young musicians were ready to create something new.\u003c\/p\u003e    \u003ch2\u003eTrack Listing\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003cul\u003e\u003c\/ul\u003e\u003cul\u003e        \u003cli\u003eMy Shadow\u003c\/li\u003e                  \u003cli\u003eHere, There And Everywhere\u003c\/li\u003e                  \u003cli\u003eBoppin‘, Strollin‘ And Messin‘ Around\u003c\/li\u003e                  \u003cli\u003eI’ve Got That Feeling\u003c\/li\u003e                  \u003cli\u003eDonny’s Boogie\u003c\/li\u003e                  \u003cli\u003eEverybody’s Gonna Do The Rock ‘n‘ Roll\u003c\/li\u003e                  \u003cli\u003eThe Slide \u003c\/li\u003e                  \u003cli\u003eLucky Day\u003c\/li\u003e                  \u003cli\u003eMy Love Is Gone\u003c\/li\u003e                  \u003cli\u003eMy Shadow (alt. take)\u003c\/li\u003e                  \u003cli\u003eDonny’s Boogie (alt. take)\u003c\/li\u003e          \u003c\/ul\u003e  \u003ch2\u003eAdditional Details\u003c\/h2\u003e  \u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eLabel:\u003c\/strong\u003e Bear Family Records\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eGenre:\u003c\/strong\u003e Pop\/Rock\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/strong\u003e English  \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eRun Time:\u003c\/strong\u003e 28:00 mins\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eRegion:\u003c\/strong\u003e 0       \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eRelease Date:\u003c\/strong\u003e 06\/05\/26\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eUPC:\u003c\/strong\u003e 4000127140425\u003c\/p\u003e ","brand":"BEARFAMILY","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":47612960997625,"sku":"BAF14042","price":24.69,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0815\/4889\/files\/BAF14042.jpg?v=1774622169","url":"https:\/\/mvdshop.com\/products\/the-rhythm-rockets-boppin-strollin-and-messin-around-10-inch","provider":"MVD Shop","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
