WHEN ROBERT GORDON EMERGED ON THE ROCKABILLY REVIVAL SCENE IN THE LATE 1970s HE WAS HAILED AS THE "MESSIAH OF ROCKABILLY". HIS MUSIC WAS PURE UNABASHED, UNADULTERATED ROCKABILLY WHICH WARMED THE COCKELS OF THE HEARTS OR ROCKABILLY AFICIONADOS. FROM AN EARLY AGE ROBERT WAS IMPRESSED WITH ELVIS PRESLEY'S "HEARTBREAK HOTEL" PLAYING ON THE RADIO AND DECIDED AT THE POINT TO BE A ROCK'N'ROLL MUSICIAN. OTHER INFLUENCES WERE, GENE VINCENT, EDDIE COCHRAN AND THE JOHNNY BURNETTE TRIO. HE MADE HIS FIRST RECORDING IN 1964 WITH A GROUP CALLED THE CONFIDENTIALS.

IN 1970, ROBERT MOVED HIS FAMILY TO NEW YORK CITY AND JOINED UP WITH A PUNK-ROCK GROUP CALLED THE "TUFF DARTS". DURING 1976, THE TUFF DARTS RECORDED "ALL FOR THE LOVE OF ROCK'N'ROLL", "HEAD OVER HEELS" AND "SLASH" FOR A COMPILATION ALBUM CALLED "LIVE AT CBGB'S" WHICH INCLUDED A NUMBER OF OTHER LOCAL NEW YORK CITY BANDS.

RECORD PRODUCER RICHARD GOTTEHRER DISCOVERED ROBERT DURING A REHEARSAL ONE AFTERNOON WITH THE TUFF DARTS AND SOON AFTER THE TWO WERE TALKING ABOUT MAKING A ROCK'N'ROLL RECORD. AFTER SOME CONVERSATION, ROBERT SUGGESTED WORKING WITH GUITAR LEGEND LINK WRAY. WRAY WAS CONTACTED AND AGREED TO WORK WITH THEM BOTH AND THE RESULT WAS THIS ALBUM RELEASED INITIALLY ON THE PRIVATE STOCK RECORDS LABEL. OVER THE YEARS ROBERT RELEASED TWELVE STUDIO ALBUMS, FOUR LIVE ALBUMS AND ONE COMPILATION ALBUM. SADLY, ROBERT PASSED AWAY ON OCTOBER 18, 2022, AT THE AGE OF 75 AFTER YEARS OF ACUTE MYELOID LEUKEMIA.

THIS ALBUM IS A REISSUE ON RCA VICTOR OF THE ORIGINAL RELEASE ON PRIVATE STOCK RECORDS AND IS THE MOST SOUGHT AFTER ALBUM BY ROBERT. THE SLEEVE IS RATED EXCELLENT WITH ALMOST NO SIGNS OF WEAR AND THE RECORD IS IN NEAR MINT CONDITION.

TRACK LISTING: Side 1 - Red Hot / I Sure Miss You / Summertime Blues / Boppin' The Blues / Sweet Surrender. Side 2 - Flyin' Saucer Rock And Roll / The Fool / It's In The Bottle / Woman (You're My Woman) / Is This The Way.
