This CD set proves that it wasn`t only guys like Elvis Presley, Buddy Holly, Little Richard  and Chuck Berry who were able to make rock & roll records. Admittedly, during the  1950s, the time wasn`t quite ripe for the emancipated rock & roll girls, which makes  listening to their efforts today even more called for - unjustly, hardly anyone took  any notice of the girls during their own day. This CD set boasts an explosive mixture  of female artists and provides adequate proof of the fact that the fairer sex was also  quite capable of rocking the house.  Alongside famous ladies like Wanda Jackson and Brenda Lee, listeners can  ,discover" totally unknown singers whose songs are also to be relished - and some  of today`s established stars, such as Dolly Parton and Jackie DeShannon, set out  on their careers with a surprisingly rocky sound. All-in-all, of the tracks featured on  this unique compilation, some 70% are veritable rare and precious gems from the  "girls" rock & roll era.
