| | New Orleans Rock & Roll Party CD
A delightful collection of sides recorded between 1955 and 1959 at J&M and Cosimo's studios and originally released on regional New Orleans labels, this set of lively party songs from Night Train Records is full of rare gems like Billy Tircuit's goofy and infectious "Crazy Green Lizard," Stella Johnson's stark "Trial of Stagger Lee," Al Reed's conjunto-like "El Rancho Grande," and "When My Blue Moon Turns to Gold," a hard-charging, triple-time march from Big Al Downing. Most of these tracks are hybrids, poised right at the cusp of New Orleans R&B and sax-driven early rock & roll, making this set historically interesting as well as being a stomping good listen. ~ Steve Leggett

New Orleans Rock & Roll Party album
 $18.05 
Growing up among Afro-Americans in Berkeley, CA, Greek-American Johnny Otis (born John Veliotes) always identified strongly with people of color. Before he had attained the age of 20 he was gigging with black jazz bands throughout the Southwest, and eventually organized an ensemble deliberately patterned after Count Basie's orchestra. This highly charged album of historical musical artifacts documents the very beginning of Johnny Otis' recording career. With one apparently unobtainable exception, the ...

| | B B King Mr. Blues/Confessin' The Blues CD (2005) (Import) Remastered; United Kingdom
New Orleans Rock & Roll Party CD music
$18.79
This CD contains B.B. King's first ABC-Paramount studio efforts -- Mr. Blues (1962) and Confessin' the Blues (1965), respectively. While there are inevitable similarities between the projects, offering them back-to-back allows listeners an acute sense of King's rapid maturation and development during what was by all accounts the nexus of the guitarist/vocalist's career. The dozen-song Mr. Blues was a haphazard start for King with the contents taken from three different recording sessions in a 13-month period (March 1, 1962 through April 11, 1963). Based on the results, the artist was being presented as a blues shouter, supported by an antiquated big band and/or orchestra. Arguably the best of the lot comes from the Maxwell Davis led ensemble on the first of several Big Joe Turner tunes, ...
