{"product_id":"carl-mann-carl-rocks-import","title":"Carl Mann - Carl Rocks [Import]","description":"\u003cp\u003eContains the best of Carl Mann's rockin' Sun sides and more, replacing the out-of-print box set formerly issued by Bear Family! Contains both early demo and alternate take versions, as well as the original 45 of Carl Mann's greatest hit, Mona Lisa. Features three versions of the highly collectable Rockin Love, including the original Jaxon single. Showcases the spectacular electric guitar work of legendary musician Eddie Bush. Contains Carl Mann's most effective Philips International single, the Charlie Rich rocker I'm Coming Home, copied note-for-note by Elvis on his very next LP Includes newly esearched biography, discography and vintage photos. Carl Mann grew up just down the road from Memphis, where the rockabilly revolution was taking place during the mid-1950s. By the time Carl Mann got to Sun Records, as part of a group that included drummer W. S. Holland, most of Sun's reputation was already firmly in place. The tapes of Mona Lisa, Carl Mann's biggest hit record, sat unissued in the Sun studio where they might have remained if Conway Twitty had not flipped over them in early 1959 and produced a cover version at his next recording session. With Conway Twitty's record of Mona Lisa starting to chart, Sun was forced to release their own original version by Carl Mann. Mona Lisa became a Top 20 record in the summer of 1959, spending 16 weeks on the 'Billboard' charts. Carl Mann was far more than a 'one hit wonder.' This CD offers a detailed look at the surprisingly powerful body of work Carl Mann recorded during a relatively brief period of time. Although unfairly cast into the role of 'rockin' up the standards, Carl Mann had a lot more to say musically than uptempo versions of Nat Cole hits (Mona Lisa had been a # 1 hit by Nat Cole in 1950). The best of Carl Mann's work is on display on this fine disc\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cdiv data-bt-autogen\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eTracklist:\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003col\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eMona Lisa\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eSouth of the Border\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eRockin' Love (Master)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eEddie Bush: Hey, Baby Doll\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eI'm Coming Home\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eSome Enchanted Evening\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003ePretend\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eIsland of Love\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eLook At That Moon\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eAin't Got No Home\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eIf I Ever Needed You\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eWayward Wind, The\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eWhen I Grow To Old Too Dream - (alternate take)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eMona Lisa\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eKansas City - (alternate take)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eTake These Chains From My Heart - (alternate take)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eRockin Love\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eToo Young\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eBlueberry Hill\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eStop the World and Let Me Off - (alternate take)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eSouth of the Border\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eBecause of You\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eUbangi Stomp\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eAin't You Got No Lovin' For Me\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eI'm Walking the Dog\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eAin't Got No Home\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eBaby I Don't Care - (alternate take)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eMountain Dew\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eFoolish One\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eWalkin' and Thinkin'\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eGonna Rock and Roll Tonight\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eSatellite #2\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eRockin' Love\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eOld Lonesome Time\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eMona Lisa\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ol\u003e \u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eUPC:\u003c\/strong\u003e 4000127166845\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eLabel:\u003c\/strong\u003e Bear Family\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eRelease Date:\u003c\/strong\u003e 6.9.16\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eFormat:\u003c\/strong\u003e CD\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e","brand":"Broadtime","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":42111097667659,"sku":"432653","price":30.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0278\/7223\/1499\/files\/1407781.jpg?v=1770183250","url":"https:\/\/rockbandmerch.com\/products\/carl-mann-carl-rocks-import","provider":"Rock Band Merch","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
