Cradle of My Arms- The Complete Gene Pitney (1958-1962)

Gene Pitney was one of the best and most distinctive artists of the early years of rock & roll, a singer who knew how to make the most of heartache, and a songwriter who penned some of his own best tunes, as well as hits for Rick Nelson and Phil Spector. Cradle of My Arms: The Complete Gene Pitney 1958-1962 brings together Pitney's full recorded body of work from his first four years as a recording artist, including rare sides released as Billy Bryan and sessions with Gene and the Embers and Jamie & Jane. The collection also includes such early hits as "(I Wanna) Love My Life Away," "Town Without Pity," Only Love Can Break a Heart," and "(The Man Who Shot) Liberty Valance," as well as Pitney's first two albums in full.
