Buddy Knox and Jimmy Bowen only have half of this double-disc set; the approach isn't as odd as it seems, though. When Knox and Bowen began their recording careers, they were both part of the Rhythm Orchids, and a similar lineup of Orchids backs each solo singer on their respective recordings. Most listeners will be much better off with Rhino's briefer, more selective Knox best-of. Completists, however, will find all 30 of Knox's 1956-1960 Roulette tracks on disc one of this two-pack.
