Back catalogue: 50s/60s

Review: London's BDQ Records has got more gold here from the superb vocal talent that is Lydia Jane. Her smoky tones come across these two stylish mod-jazz gems starting with the titular 'Sweetheart' which has lazy and slow motion grooves with some lovely reverb-heavy guitar lines reign out next to Jane's sensuous jazz delivery. On the flip is 'Loser' which has a more upbeat feel with 60s tones to the vocals as the swinging drums and feathery snares all add extra depth. A lovely 7" here for fans of all styles of soul.

Review: RECCOMMENDED
Let's face it, the Jerry Lee Lewis' of this world are irreplaceable, which is exactly what makes this collection of rock 'n' roll and country duets so poignant. Those looking for an explantation for the title should check the Sun Studios roster - the 1950s institution laid claim to recordings by Johnny Cash, Roy Orbison, Carl Perkins, Charlie Rich and Elvis Presley, but by the time this album landed in 2006, Lewis was quite literally the only one left in the room, outliving peers while still managing to summon the energy needed for his approach to ivory tinkling.

Of course, that kind of legacy gets you pretty far when it comes to drafting collaborators for a new LP, and the list of guests here is both intimidating and telling. Bruce Springsteen, Chuck Berry, Mick Jagger, and Willie Nelson all make appearances on this contemporary collection of tracks that still carry the classic rock 'n' roll feeling.
