 (3 Customer Reviews)
Johnnie Taylor continued churning out steamy wailers, creditable weepers and heartache songs, and ripping up the soul circuit in the mid-'70s. His grainy, blues- and gospel-tinged lead vocals were dynamic on uptempo tunes, and alternately poignant, anguished, prophetic, or hurt on ballads. ~ Ron Wynn
Recorded in 1972 & 1973.
Personnel: Johnnie Taylor (vocals).

HARD DRIVIN' BLUES contains 3 previously unreleased bonus tracks.
Roosevelt Sykes began making records in 1929, and kept churning out his own pungent brand of blues and boogie for many decades. When the music heard on this album was recorded in January 1962 and May 1963, Sykes was in the process of ripening into a sanguine creature even more interesting and provocative than his earlier selves had been. By the time these recordings finally appeared in 1975 as Hard Drivin' Blues on Chicago's Delmark record label, Sykes had enjoyed one hell of a comeback as an internationally acclaimed master of the blues; he toured extensively, playing tiny saloons and massive music festivals, even recording at times with electrically amplified instrumental backing. All throughout the second half of the 1970s, the one-man, one-piano Hard Drivin' Blues album was warmly received by those lucky enough to have caught Sykes live and in person, and it still stands as one of the very finest recordings in his entire discography.

| | Teenage Wolfpack CD (1995)
Super Taylor CD music
$17.79
"Baby Rock" by Ross Minimi gets this collection -- songs devoted to teenage life as it was understood in the late 1950s -- off to a good start with a song about sex and rock & roll with lots of attitude. Hank Mizell's "I'm Ready" is too self-consciously a rock & roll song, but the playing pulls it off, with some punk-flavored guitar of the kind that the Ramones have been emulating for 20 years or more. Jimmy Stayton's "You're Gonna Treat Me Right" threatens once or twice to turn into "Heartbreak Hotel" and even quotes "Maybelline" instrumentally, but those flaws can be overlooked in favor of the spirit of the performance. The rest is pretty much in this vein, and all but a tiny handful of tracks are genuinely worthwhile; some of it, like Tex Neighbors' "Rockin' Beat" and "T.N.T." by Riki & the Rickatones (who look like a dorkier Kingston Trio in their photo), are sort of predictable but fun, and the Nighthawks "When Sin Stops" is a fascinating love song. Dennis Volk is a straight-ahead rock & roller with a convincingly rebellious attitude and big bopper-type bravado on "You Are the One." Sonny Fisher's "Rockin' Daddy," by contrast, is a lot more primitive, a piece of backwoods-type rockabilly by a "rockin' daddy from ding-dong Tennessee," who sounds like he's only a step behind the late 1954 Elvis Presley, except he did write this and the unissued record has to date from after 1954, or even 1955. Another unissued record, "Teenager's Party" by Mike Demirdian's Rhythm Rockers, is also a treasure of a different kind, a high-energy full-band performance that pumps away on all cylinders and makes one wonder what happened to Demirdian. One thing you notice here, and on a lot of the rest of the Buffalo Bop releases is how much of this material was original by the artists themselves -- it puts something of a lie to the notion ...

$3.99
Digitally remastered by Jeff Rach.
Recorded at the Riverside Plaza Hotel, New York, New York on December 7, 8 & 14, 1955. Includes liner notes by George T. Simon.
Reissue producer: Michael Cuscuna.
Consumer advisory: In 1955, Universal Pictures released The Benny Goodman Story, starring Steve Allen. Goodman himself played the music in the film (which consisted of re-recordings of his old hits), rounding up such former band members as Harry James, Martha Tilton, and Lionel Hampton, and a successful soundtrack LP was issued by Decca. But Goodman wasn't under contract to Decca; he was on Capitol, which rushed him into the studio in December to recut his hits again. Capitol then released this album early in 1956, with the same title as the film and the Decca soundtrack, its cover deceptively declaring that it contained "brilliant new high fidelity recordings made especially for this album of the selections featured in the motion picture of his life." Pretty sneaky. Forty years later, Capitol reissued the album on CD with the same cover, which indicates that ethics in the ...
