Handy Man: The Otis Blackwell Songbook (Reissue Review)

Although he wrote some of the biggest hits for some of rock’s biggest recording artists, Otis Blackwell remains one of the unsung heroes of rock & roll. The list of songs is impressive…Great Balls Of Fire, Fever, All Shook Up, Breathless, Return To Sender, Handy Man, Don’t Be Cruel…are just some of the hits Blackwell write for the likes of Elvis Presley, Jerry Lee Lewis and Little Willie John. Now Ace Records has put together a collection of 24 vintage tracks featuring many of Blackwell’s biggest hits, along with plenty of lesser-known gems.
