Record Highlight — Janis Martin

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

We are proud to have pressed The Blanco Sessions — the final recordings from Janis Martin, a founding mother of Rock and Roll.

Because of her enthusiasm, brilliant stage presence and rocking vocal style, Martin was also known as “the Female Elvis”.  She had a hit with “Will You, Will Yum”/”Drugstore Rock and Roll” in 1956. In 2007, near the end of Janis’s life, she and Rosie Flores worked together with Bobby Trimble to produce 11 new songs. Sadly, cancer cut her life short and she never got to tour behind the long awaited album.  This album will finally be available on CD and Vinyl in September, courtesy of Cow Island Music.
