A powerful, pounding piano player and singer, BIG AL DOWNING recorded one the greatest unsung Rock & Roll tracks of all time, 'Down On The Farm', in 1958.  He went on to enjoy a remarkable career, in which he tasted fame and success across several different musical genres.  This 30-track compilation focuses on his Rock & Roll years, between 1958-62, during which he operated predominantly as an impersonator of Little Richard and Fats Domino.  In addition to his own recordings during this period, Downing also appears as a sideman, playing piano on five of Wanda Jackson's most rocking sides.........
