Editorial Reviews

CD Description
La Vern Baker was the first great female rock star of the '50s. This anthology of her best work, recorded between 1953 and 1962, with backing provided by the cream of New York City session men, including Bucky Pizarelli and King Curtis, makes a great case for her.
Whether she's singing the slow,gospel-derived "Shake a Hand", barnstorming her way througha rave-up such as "Saved", or having fun with the novelty jump blues that were her initial trademark--"Tweedle Dee", "Bop-Ting-a-Ling", and the often-covered "Jim Dandy"--Baker's sound is unique, a soulful combination of unbridled lungpower and sophisticated phrasing.
