An amazing gathering of Twin Cities Rock and Roll All Stars (and a few out-of-town friends), covering a 1953 Otis Blackwell roots-of-rock classic - just for the fun of getting together and doing so!
"Hello Rock and Rollers around the globe! St. Paul and Minneapolis have rarely gotten together, as odd as that sounds. From the Minneapolis New Wavers and Punks to the St. Paul Metal Heads....I love it all...and thought I would share that love of our amazingly varied and talented Twin Cities music scene with all music lovers world wide. Being a fan, a musician and producer gave me the opportunity to bring these worlds together in celebration via a song. I had the time...I had the resources. So here ya go...enjoy!" (Brynn Arens)
