Johnny was one of the three New Zealanders who burst onto the Aussie music scene in the early sixties. He became a regular on Channel 9’s Bandstand hosted by New Zealand born Brian Henderson. In the early part of his career he was portrayed as one of the bad boys of music and earned the nickname “The Satin Devil” possibly picked up from the name of his backing group The Devils.

Whole Lotta Shakin' Goin' On is a 31-track Australian retrospective of his career, which largely consists of faithful covers of American hits like Jimmie Lloyd's "I Got a Rocket in My Pocket" and Eddie Cochran's "Twenty Flight Rock."

Some of the most fascinating tracks marry rock & roll with a regional sensibility, resulting in the excellent "Koala Bear" and the impenetrably slangy "Got a Zack in the Back of My Pocket."

There is plenty of exciting vintage rock & roll here alongside teen-oriented novelties and pop/rockers. The collection concludes with "Rock and Roll (I Gave You the Best Years of My Life)," a late, nostalgic recording on which Devlin recalls his rockin' glory days.
