Description

James Dean came out of nowhere to become the consummate actor of his time and then vanished into his own immaculate myth. In that brief life, Dean was the drifting piece of antimatter which ignited the cultural Big Bang of the mid-’50s. He was the original rebel, the essence of cool and, most importantly, he was ROCK ‘N’ ROLL! Heck, it’s almost as if his death brought on rock ‘n’ roll. Elvis (who idolized Dean obsessively) hit the charts for the first time a mere 6 months after Dean’s death with Chuck Berry, Bill Haley, Buddy Holly and several others to follow. Like many times throughout history, an idol falls and the cultrure bursts into ecstatic whoops of song.James Dean Era is that jubilant memorial, the soundtrack to the quick life and fast times of America’s juvenile delinquent son. From the nuttiness of “Tutti Fruitti” to the irresistable “Maybelline,” it’s all right here and it all began with Dean. Appearing as bonus tracks are two ultra rare recordings of Dean playing the bongos, pounding out his affection for beatnik poetry and jazz culture like a coded message from beyond the grave. And if that wasn’t enough, here are three BEYOND rare, made for television movies starring James Dean that haven’t been viewed by the public since the year they were first aired, almost a half century ago. In them, Dean displays the effortless acting abilities that would soon make him a Hollywood legend!

I LOVE the album of music included more than the dvd ...

I LOVE the album of music included more than the dvd of unseen film. The music showed me new style of rock for my 14 year old self in the late 90s. The listing for the tracks aren't totally correct. It loaded uncorrect on the PC as well. I found most of the songs on Spotify (with more similar music, and created a playlist) as my cd is scratched up.

I like James Dean's drumming

My favorite songs on the James Dean era cd are the2 tracks were Jimmy plays drums with a flute player.I was expecting something more hispanic than whatI heard or more jazz.Judging from what I heard ofthe drums I think Jimmy would have loved rock.Thedrums sound a little african/rocknroll.Jimmy couldplay loud drums and he could play soft backgrounddrums.He was no egomaniac.These 2 tracks prove it. I would have preffered the rest of the cdto be jungle drums/hispanic/jazz/and classicsthat Jimmy really listened to.1 or 2 rocktracks would have been ok in my opinion.I think Dean would have hated the snaggletoothann song thats on the cd.Jimmy was very kindto a one legged girl in Hollywood.Jimmy probablyneeded caps to make his teeth look like a whitecircle.The dvd is very difficult to get out.James Dean was blue fire ,rose petal lips,raining clouds,and wavy night ocean hair.His acting anddrumming prove that he was more than that.

WOW

Oh my god, I am so glad I found this. Not only a great colection of 50's era songs, but also a DVD containing a film not seen since its air date .....
