Sir Cliff has returned to his roots to record a new selection of his favourite songs from the golden era of rock 'n' roll on "Just… Fabulous Rock 'N' Roll". These include Sir Cliff's renditions of seminal tracks such as 'Roll Over Beethoven', 'Great Balls of Fire', 'Sweet Little Sixteen' and his very own debut single, 'Move It'. The album also features a duet with fellow idol Elvis Presley on 'Blue Suede Shoes'.
This has been a career long dream of Sir Cliff's, which has now become a reality. The new release follows the huge success of his last studio album, "The Fabulous Rock 'N' Roll Songbook" in 2013, and the celebratory "75 at 75 - 75 Career Spanning Hits" IN 2015.
"Just… Fabulous Rock 'N' Roll" was recorded in the legendary Blackbird studio in Nashville, Tennessee and includes classics originally recorded by many of Sir Cliff's heroes including Jerry Lee Lewis, Carl Perkins, Chuck Berry, Bobby Darin, Phil & Don Everly, Sam Cooke and even John Lee Hooker. The album closes with a new, original track, 'It's Better to Dream'.
Cliff Richard released his debut single 'Move It' in August 1958. It is credited with being the first British rock 'n' roll hit, bringing what had previously been an American genre across the Atlantic, for the first time. "Just… Fabulous Rock 'N' Roll" will astonishingly be his 101st album.
