A resounding success in recent years with his pop hits for Beltone Records, like many black artists Indiana-born Bobby Lewis has taken years to become an overnight success. A one-off release for Chess introduced his "Mumbles Blues" to the world which, given a rockin' rearrangement was recut for Spotlight Records in 1956 in Motor City, as featured here with the equally cool "Solid as a Rock" backed by Dave Hamilton's Peppers. He also rerecorded the latter for Roulette but we here include his debut release for that label.
