Walkin' the Bullfrog

The genre of fifties rock & roll is so well covered by other labels that it takes a project of significance to get Tuff City to enter the competition. With "Walkin' the Bullfrog" on Tuff City's Night Train imprint (NTI CD 7160) the career of a singular, inimitable rock n' roller, Lenny Lacour, is brought into high relief. Lacour made great recordings, contained by rock 'n roll's aesthetic embrace of weirdness in the fifties. But as he progressed into the sixties, Lacour's recordings were revealed to be just plain weird. Culled from over six different labels, this anthology is highlighted by Lacour's own contribution to the extensive liner notes and unreleased recordings from his personal collection. Night Train wagers that listeners will not forget being exposed to Lenny Lacour, an American original.
