Sobre el álbum
El segundo álbum homónimo del pionero del rock, Little Richard, de 1958, es la continuación directa de la explosión de su debut. En este trabajo, el "Killer" de Macon, Georgia, sigue entregando una dosis de rock and roll de alta energía, con una colección de canciones que consolidan su estilo y su estatus como una de las mayores y más salvajes estrellas del género.
De esta manera, el sonido del disco sigue la exitosa fórmula de su predecesor. El piano martilleante, la sección rítmica contundente y, sobre todo, la voz inimitable de Little Richard son los protagonistas. El álbum es otra colección de clásicos del rock and roll de los años 50.
El disco contiene himnos inmortales como "Good Golly, Miss Molly", "Lucille" o "The Girl Can't Help It". Estas canciones, con su energía desbordante y su actitud desenfrenada, se convirtieron en nuevos éxitos y en piezas fundamentales de su repertorio. El álbum demostró que su racha creativa era imparable.
Este segundo trabajo es una secuela a la altura de su legendario debut. Es un disco que no solo reafirmó a Little Richard como una fuerza de la naturaleza, sino que también nos regaló otra tanda de canciones que forman parte del ADN del rock and roll. Es otra obra esencial.
