I bought this CD on the strength of The Treniers' guest appearance in the film "Don't Knock the Rock," in which the band's hard-driving music is punctuated by comical shouts and schtick. Given the visual aspect of their act, I wasn't expecting as much firepower from the CD, but I was pleasantly surprised. The compilation offers a cross-section of The Treniers' solid musicianship ("Rockin' Is Our Business," "Go Go Go," "Rockin' on Sunday Night" ); novelty numbers ("Hadacol," a bluesy hymn to an alcohol-laced pain reliever; "Bald Head," about a disastrous courtship; "Say Hey," which features some hilarious delivery about baseball's Willie Mays); and sly, tongue-in-cheek humor ("Ride, Man, Ride," the Lone Ranger parody in their boisterous nightclub act; and its original flip side, the questionable "Poon-Tang!"). The CD could have used more discographical information for the intrigued listener, but it's a good introduction to one of the longest-running, hardest-working acts in show business. - Scott MacGillivray, Massachusetts |

I grew up listening to my father tell stories about the Treniers playing in our hometown of Wildwood. Several years ago I was able to see them perform in Atlantic City. Despite their age, they put on a great show. The CD captures the joy and energy of a group that was a tremendous influence in the early days of rock and roll. If you like Louis Jordan, Joe Turner or other founding fathers, you'll like this ablum. There are a couple of weak tracks, but overall the record "rocks, rolls, swings and jumps." - A music fan |
