Editorial Reviews
Album Description
A delicious and comprehensive compilation of the renaissance of Big Joe Turner, rescued from jazz obscurity by Atlantic records in 1951 and restored to his hitmaking potential, as proven here. 27fabulous tracks, with 12 Top Ten Billboard R&B chart hits, including the two chart toppers, ‘Honey Hush’ and ‘Shake Rattle and Roll’ which, along with ‘Flip, Flop and Fly’, ‘Hide and Seek’, ‘Boogie Woogie Country Girl’ and ‘Chains Of Love’, would influence rock 'n' rollers from Bill Haley and Elvis Presley to Johnny Burnette on down.
The supporting bands, the best in the business, featured the all-star session players of New York, New Orleans and Chicago, including blues-god Elmore James on a few cuts.
A pretty definitive overview of one of the KINGS of R'n'B, at his peak and continues our series of AMAZING pre-1960's releases. What's good enough for psych collectors is good enough for my dad I say!
Contains hit after hit from the BOSS of the blues and all re-mastered in RevOla-sonic sound; they have never sounded better! The package contains a feast of pics and memorabilia and the fascinating notes make this the one to have!
Customer Reviews
Just wonderful
The Amazon review above is spot on. This is just fantastic. If you want to go to the crossroads where blues met swing and gave birth to rock and roll this is it.
