Irene McNeil
" Mademoiselle Rythme "
London MB-14, 1958 original issue (Canada) Mono pressing
"Miss Rhythm" Irene McNeil began her career in Montreal's busy 50's caberet scene, recording a handful of obscure singles and just 2 long plays......this now highly-coveted coveted rocker in 1958, and her second long play "Un Rendez-Vous" in 1963.
Canada's first female rocker is accompanied here by Rod Tremblay & His Orchestra swinging through both originals and a few covers of rock 'n' roll / rockabilly classics by Bill Hailey, Ivory Joe Hunter and Elvis among others, all sung in french.
Featured at the Museum Of Canadian Music: Here
Irène McNeil n'était pas étrangère au monde du cabaret. Elle était d'ailleurs Maître de Cérémonie du Café El Dorado de Montréal, où elle a notamment présenté l'autre grande femme du rock'n'roll québécois, Carmen Déziel (la première même, tous genres confondus, à avoir enregistré une chanson de rock'n'roll au Québec et en français) . McNeil donc, voyant probablement le rock'n'roll devenir de plus en plus populaire, s'est mise au genre. On l'a même surnommée Mademoiselle Rythme et ce fut d'ailleurs le titre de ce premier album, lancé circa 1958, sur étiquette London. On retrouve là-dessus plusieurs excellentes adaptions de succès plus ou moins obscurs de rock'n'roll américain. Iréne McNeil avait une "twist" cabaret à son rock'n'roll, c'est-à-dire un son jazzé, proche du swing. Elle était entourée d'excellents musiciens tel que Rod Tremblay et son orchestre.
