Robert Gordon with Link Wray
Great coupling of the former Tuff Dart's first two albums on a single CD that were originally issued on the Private Stock label and later on RCA.  Gordon emerged in the late 70's new wave along with Blondie, Talking Heads, The Ramones and Television as part of the premier music scene in the U.S.  The flavour of his music is definitely rockabilly, but instead of being a caricature, Gordon was true blue.  Along with producer Richard Gottherer, he hooked up with legend Link Wray to present some of the most exciting shows of the era.  The single of "Red Hot" became a popular favorite across the country and even Bruce Springsteen became a fan, giving him the song "Fire" to record (but The Pointer Sisters would take it to the top of the pop charts).  This collection includes bonus tracks culled from his later albums as a tasty sampler of the brilliance that ensued after these releases.
