Let It Rock is a Juno Award-nominated album that documents American-Canadian singer Ronnie Hawkins' 60th birthday celebration and concert at Massey Hall in Toronto, Ontario, Canada.[1][2] The concert took place on January 8, 1995 and featured performances by Hawkins, Carl Perkins, Jerry Lee Lewis, The Band and Larry Gowan. Jeff Healey sat in on guitar for most, if not all, of the performances. Hawkins' band, The Hawks, or permutations of it, backed most, if not all, of the acts. All of the musicians performing that night were collectively dubbed "The Rock ‘N’ Roll Orchestra". The concert is among the last recorded of both Perkins and Rick Danko of The Band. An eponymous video of the concert was also released.

The album also included a studio track of Hawkins performing his song "Days Gone By", backed by The Band and The Hawks. It was released as a single which went gold in Canada and reached 51 on the country charts in that country.[3][4]
