Rock 'n' Roll With the Modern Lovers is the second album released by The Modern Lovers. The band was formed in 1970 by singer, songwriter, and guitarist Jonathan Richman, augmented with Jerry Harrison (keyboards), Ernie Brooks (bass), and David Robinson (drums). Richman's friend John Felice joined them occasionally. Their sound almost totally focusses on the sound from the Fifties. The lo-fi record breathes folky roots music and rock ‘n roll as it would sound ages ago. The albums features the popular tracks "Ice Cream Man," "Roller Coaster By the Sea," and "Egyptian Reggae." The latter was a cover version of Earl Zero "None Shall Escape the Judgement" and became a UK Top 5 hit.
Rock 'n' Roll With the Modern Lovers is available as a limited edition of 750 individually numbered copies on colored vinyl.
