On Rock and Roll (1957), listeners are treated to the first LP from the Drifters boasting lead vocals from the inimitable Clyde McPhatter. Although their precise lineage remained hotly contested -- even as late as the 2008 CD reissue from Collectors' Choice Music -- there is evidence of at least two earlier incarnations of the combo prior to McPhatter joining the ranks of Gerhart Thrasher (tenor) and Andrew Thrasher (baritone), Bill Pinkney (bass and lead on "White Christmas"), and accompanist Jimmy Oliver (guitar). McPhatter's top billing afforded a few exceptional solos within -- particularly the opener "Without Love" and "Treasure of Love," and the old-school balladry of "I'm Not Worthy." An additional facet of the Drifters' signature sound -- especially during the McPhatter era -- is the amusing and upbeat "Honey Love" -- which was written by McPhatter and producer Jerry Wexler -- who was credited as J. Gerald. Other classics found within are "Money Honey" and "Such a Night" -- each of which are considered essential Drifters' entries in their own right. As mentioned above, it is Bill Pinkney's sonorous bass that drives the cover of the seasonal selection "White Christmas" -- a tune which has become a perennial favorite for oldies enthusiasts. It unwittingly overshadows the Drifters' equally doo wop inspired update of "Bells of St. Mary." They project the same feel on the gospel-fuelled "Whatcha Gonna Do," a number written by Atlantic Records founder Ahmet Ertegun. He is likewise joined by the talents of Wexler (again as J. Gerald) and even famed engineer Tom Dowd on the bluesy "Warm Your Heart." Closing out Rock and Roll is a perfect example of just that on "Thirty Days" -- which, despite a similar title -- is not the Chuck Berry rocker. It bears repeating that despite numerous reissues, Collector's Choice Music is to be commended as the original vintage artwork and highest fidelity can be found on the CD bearing that moniker. ~ Lindsay Planer Clyde Mcphatter & The Drifters Music Clyde Mcphatter & The Drifters Songs | 1. | Without Love (There Is Nothing) | |

Among white blues singers of the 1960s, there were some who studied the music so intently they amazed even the genre's creators with their technical mastery. A select few, however, seemed to be born oozing authenticity, sounding just as soulful as the greatest black bluesmen while forging a completely new sound. Johnny Winter belonged in the second category. A long-haired hippie albino, he astounded initially skeptical listeners with his Howlin' Wolf-like vocals and wild Johnny Guitar Watson-esque guitar stylings. THE WOODSTOCK EXPERIENCE showcases Winter's first taste of national exposure, ...

Fans of legendary New Orleans musician Allen Toussaint may at first be surprised that, for his first album in over a decade, the producer, songwriter, and pianist would choose to forgo recording his own stellar material in favor of a collection of cover tunes. The songs here aren't just any songs, however, but a rich selection of Big Easy standards, as interpreted by one of the city's most gifted musical sons. The resulting Joe Henry-produced gumbo draws upon all of Toussaint's myriad musical experiences, but often focuses on his incredibly soulful piano playing. Even when other instruments take the lead (the trumpet on "A Dear Old Southland," the clarinet on "Just a Closer Walk With Thee") it's the ...
