The Flintstones In Viva Rock Vegas: Music From And Inspired By The Motion Picture

You're probably ready to write this one off as a novelty; after all, 13 of the 15 tracks have the word "rock" in their title. While the Flintstones may have been the coolest Stone Age family, they're still not the Rolling Stones when it comes to known "rockers." However, this is a strong collection of rockabilly and early-rock-influenced numbers. Once past the opening Flintstones Cast medley, things take off with serious aggression. Bill Haley and the Comets, Moon Mullican, the Johnny Burnette Trio, and B.B. King are among the established classic rockers included. The young whippersnappers hold up the tradition as well. Well-known rockologist (famous for his uncanny ability to approximate any genre with pathos) Nick Lowe is featured twice, and twisted outlaw country star Robbie Fulks and the Reverend Horton Heat keep things on track. Grammy nominee Susan Tedeschi contributes "Rock Me Right." Most important, the producers avoided the temptation of including Paul Simon's very unrocking "Loves Me Like a Rock." Sometimes, it's the little things. --Rob O'Connor
