Album Notes & Community Reviews

Driven by the charismatic, booming radio-DJ persona of J.P. Richardson, this album is heavily centered around its iconic, telephone-call title track. The record captures the novelty and exuberance of early rock and roll shortly before the tragic plane crash that ended his life.
