Daddys Coolest: Greatest Hits

Unlike some greatest hits cd's, I enjoyed every song on this effort. They run the gamut from covers of classic 50's rock 'n' roll, including doo-wop, original 50's songs. straight-up rock, and even some twinges of country music. The comparison to ShaNaNa is inevitable, but they're one-trick ponies since they only do cover music. I bet that Daddy Cool was absolutely coolest in concert. And to think that 2 weeks ago I'd never even heard of these guys!

good

great

Daddy Cool was (and is) a great Australian poprock group, not so well-known worldwide. This is a compact selection of their biggest hits. Sleeve notes are scarce, but the music is cool, kind of Aussie powerpop 70s style.

Having enjoyed this album on vinyl many years ago I was thrilled when I realised it was available on cd. The price was extremely reasonable and it arrived within 3 days of placing the order. Most impressed on all accounts.

I AM VERY HAPPY WITH THE CD

If Lou Whitney's father was an Aussie, he would've fronted this dynamite group. They were out in the early 70's with a couple of releases and then re-appeared in 94 with some new material. Another disc (New Daddy Cool) was the result. This old stuff is magic. Like the Skeletons/Morells they combined 50's rock with some greasy roots rock that's best described as real rock & roll. Pick this one up.

A great party record from the beginning of the 70s in Australia--nostalgia lane for people who were in highschool or university then. Nothing highbrow, but good catchy tunes and unpretentious renditions of some classic rock'n'roll songs.

good value .good sound.
