Performers include Willie Tee, Drifters, Ben E. King, Doris Troy, Clarence Carter, Otis Redding.
Ocean Boulevard, Vol. 1: The Warner-Atlantic-Atco Masters has it over many other beach music collections due to the fact that it consists of original recordings of classics by Ben E. King, the Drifters, Archie Bell & the Drells, and loads more. Beach music is notable for its emphasis on uptempo grooves and breezy sentiments, the soul music for dancing with sand in your shoes, and the songs here certainly fall into that category with sunshine-y pop-soul hits from Doris Troy ("Just One Look"), J.J. Jackson ("But It's Alright"), and Willie Tee ("Teasin' You"), along with a few sweet ballads from Otis Redding ("Sittin' on the Dock of the Bay") and the Drifters ("Zing Went the Strings of My Heart"). The second half of the disc takes a strange detour into '50s R&B (the Clovers' "One Mint Julep," Big Joe Turner's "Shake Rattle & Roll," and the Ravens' "Green Eyes") that sends the disc off the rails a bit as far as beach music goes, but for the non-purist it still sounds swell. If you have been burned by beach comps made up of modern tracks and re-recordings, on the Ripete label even, then this disc is one to look for since it is authentic and loads of fun. ~ Tim Sendra Ocean Boulevard, Vol. 1: The Warner-Atlantic-Atco Masters Music Ocean Boulevard, Vol. 1: The Warner-Atlantic-Atco Masters Songs | 1. | Thank You John - Willie Tee |

$16.45 There are only a few musicians who make you wonder if it's really as easy as it looks. Who make you crane your neck to see how many people are up on stage because you can't believe all the sounds and textures emanating from one place. Who, although maybe you came to see the name on the marquee, you feel compelled to find after the show and tell them, "thank you for playing". This is how people feel after hearing Jim Henry play.Jim's long-time reputation as a phenomenal all-around musician is well-deserved. He is among the elite who can do it all: play most things stringed, sing lead or harmony, write great songs, produce, engineer and arrange. Four solo recordings and literally hundreds of ...
