Revered by fans of 1950s West Coast rock ‘n’ roll and R&B and a huge influence on many of their contemporaries, Don Harris and Dewey Terry were unquestionably among the most exciting acts of their era, producing some of the most feral black American music of its time and indeed, of any time thereafter! Their discography boasts many all-time classic songs, all of them self-written. They cut the original versions of British beat group favourite ‘Farmer John’, ‘Justine’ and ‘KoKo Joe’ (both revived by the Righteous Brothers, who recorded several of D&D’s songs in their early years) and ‘Leaving It All Up To You’ – a hit in 1963 for Dale & Grace and again in 1975 for Donnie & Marie Osmond. You can hear their originals and much more besides in this new Jasmine compilation, which covers their 1950s and early 60s recordings in depth. Unbelievably, D&D never had a national hit of their own at any time, although their records sold well regionally and particularly so on the West Coast where they were based and where their live wire stage act pulled crowds every time they played. You can hear exactly why in the material featured in this set, which does not flag from first to last and which demonstrates why Don and Dewey are still so revered as an act more than 50 years after they cut their last records as a duo, before going on to work with the likes of Frank Zappa, Johnny Otis and John Mayall in the 70s.
