The Searchers Really Rockin, a personal compilation

Over a wet Bank Holiday I decided to collect together my favourite upbeat tracks by The Searchers. Originally it was just for my own amusement, but after 10 hours editing I decided to publish.

Rockin’ All Over The World The Definitive Searchers Live In Concert Why did I pick out these tracks? For a few years I've been missing hearing rock n roll live, so all these are twangy, loud and mostly obviously Searchers tracks. Tracks 1 to 4 are recordings from a club in Hamburg. Lively and raw. Track 5 I came across on Youtube a few weeks ago, I’d never heard it before, loved it. Track 6 made me regret not going to a Searchers concert until recently. Track 7 can never leave out Buddy Holly track. Tracks 8, 9, 10 and 11 I just love them. Track 12 My absolute favourite Searchers single. Track 13 Makes me smile. I’ve heard so often recently ‘I can’t sing a song unless I connect with it’. Although I understand the emotion of that statement, I say ‘Sing a song because it is a good song’. My smile is remembering John McNally singing the song, he really cannot connect with the words of the song being married over 50 years. I also smile as I should be really cross about the subject of the song, but can’t because it is a rockin song. Track 14 One of my all-time favourite songs, this version is excellent. Thanks to all the information I have borrowed, credits have been given where known. If I have missed any let me know and I will add. I have an extra track which I love, couldn't be included in this compilation as it is more gentle.    • Four Strong Winds - The Searchers   You really don't want to be in my car when it is playing.
