arrangements. Great fidelity. (OLN)

Live At Birdland 1957 |
● CD $12.98 $9.98 |
16 tracks, 30 min., essential
This should a popular release, a CD version of a vintage 1957 Big Jay
show recorded on a 2 track Ampex (don't worry, it sounds fine) at
Seattle's Birdland Club. The discovery of this tape in 1988 was, for R&B
fans, tantamount to the unearthing of King Tut's tomb. This CD version
adds 6 cuts from another Big Jay Records LP, Swingin' (JLP 103).
The band opens with the dynamic, raspy voiced Little Sonny Warner
singing I Hope You're All Right , then jumps into prime Big Jay
on the wild Insect Ball . After a soulful rendition of Lynn
Hope's Tenderly and a swingin' number called Havana Hop ,
McNeely really cuts loose on an amazing and exciting version of the old
Goodman/ Hampton classic Flying Home , that must have really worn
out the dancers there - it's 8 1/2 min. long! He does his crowd
pleasers, Deacon's Hop and There Is Something On Your Mind
and throws in some surprises too, like a fine version of Les Paul & Mary
Ford's How High The Moon . If you like honkin' R&B you'll love
this.... AE

The Wardell Quezerque Sessions |
● CD $15.98 $10.98 |
A collection of 24 tracks recorded in 1966 and '67 by
this session musician turned vocalist accompanied by top New Orleans
musicians under the production guidance of Wardell Quezerque. Bobby is
best known for his big hit Barefootin' which is featured here
along with several follow ups which were all pretty much identical to
his hit but with different lyrics. When he wasn't cloning his hit he did
some fine R&B and soul song including some nice covers of songs from the
repertoire of Otis Redding, Wilson Pickett, Little Richard and others.
Most of these tracks are making their first ever appearance on CD.

Bullseye Blues 9556 |
Right Around The Corner |
● CD $15.98 $9.98 |
13 tracks, 45 min., highly recommended
Mellowing like fine vintage wine, these superstars of the a capella
vocal group sound offer here yet another outstanding program of ballads,
blues, and hymns. Selections include Willie Dixon's Little Red
Rooster, Sam Cooke's That's Heaven to Me, Lowman Paulings'
(of the Five Royales) I'm With You and Come On and Save Me,
plus The Good Ol' Days, Don't Leave Me Here to Cry, and
Oh Heavenly Salvation. A wonderful addition to your Persuasions
collection, or, if you don't have one yet, a perfectly sound reason to
begin. Just one more reminder that the most expressive instrument of all
is the human voice. (DH)

After you have picked up the fantastic collection of Lloyd Price's early
work on Specialty put out by Classics (Classics 5100), you will still
need to pick this one up for all of the ABC/ Paramount hits. No
surprises here, just hit after hit, amazingly all recorded between 1957
- 1959. This includes the re-make of his Specialty records hit Lawdy
Miss Clawdy and the un-sanitized version of Stagger Lee. (JM)

Vol. 2 - Heavy Dreams |
● CD $14.98 $9.98 |
23 tracks, 57 min., recommended
Price joined the Specialty label when he was a mere 17 years old, but
he'd already been fronting a small combo act for several years. So it
should come as no surprise that, backed by some of New Orleans' finest
session men - including Dave Bartholomew, Herb Hardesty, Lee Allen, Earl
Palmer, and even Fats Domino - he produced numerous charted hits in the
early to mid-50s. Top ten r&b numbers featured here include
Oooh-Oooh-Oooh/ Restless Heart/ Tell Me Pretty Baby, and Ain't It
a Shame. Prime Crescent City music from start to finish and a
fitting companion to Volume One by the same artist. Sound quality,
graphics, and notes are all solid. Hats off again to Billy Vera, who is
producing this reissue series for Fantasy Records. (DH)

| TOMMY RIDGLEY |
Rounder 2079 |
The New Orleans King Of The Stroll |
● CD $15.98 $8.98 |
15 fine cuts from veteran singer, pianist and bandleader
Ridgley, whose soulful voice has graced vinyl since 1949 when he first
appeared in Dave Bartholomew's band. 13 of the cuts here were recorded
between 1960 and '62 for the Ric label with sidemen like Mac Rebennack,
Edgar Blanchard, Lee Allen, Harold Battiste and other Nawlins legends.
While best at heartfelt ballads like Should I Ever Love Again ,
I've Heard That Story Before or Bullmoose's I Love You Yes I
Do , he also can pull off such novelties as Double Eyed Whammy
or The Girl From Kooka Monga . We get 2 rare 1964 cuts from Watch
subsidiary Johen produced by Wendell Quezergue, including the wicked
soul number I Want Some Money Baby (JMC)

Soul Men |
● CD $12.98 $10.98 |
11 tracks, highly recommended
A straight reissue of Stax 275 originally released in 1967, this album
contains the duo's biggest hit Soul Man--#1 R&B, #2 Pop--as well
as 10 other slices of sonorous soul. Among the best offerings here are
the moving ballads Just Keep Holding On/ I've Seen What Loneliness
Can Do, which rivals the pair's better known When Something Is
Wrong With My Baby for pure emotion. Other knockouts include the
horn-laden The Good Runs The Bad Way/ Don't Knock It, written by
producers Issac Hayes and David Porter, and the Steve Cropper
composition Broke Down Piece Of Man. The lyric of the oxymoronic
Rich Kind Of Poverty - yes, it's a love song - sounds a wee
forced, and I'm With You is filler, both of which would mean less
if the album didn't clock in at under 30 minutes. Is it worth it? No
question. (JC)

| THE SAPPHIRES |
Sequel NEXCD 676 |
The Best Of The Sapphires |
● CD $15.98 $10.98 |
The (Philly) Sapphires sound has been likened to that of
The Orions. Two male singers (George & Joe) remain very much in the
background while the female (Carol) takes the shrill-pitched,
commercially oriented solo lead. The 22-tune collection, which includes
their 1965 chart topper Gotta Have Your Love is firmly planted in
the sa m e grove as The Chiffons and New York's
own Shirelles. From their Swan and ABC period circa 1963 thru 1965.
Excellent sound quality. (OLN)

Save Me |
● CD $16.98 $10.98 |
12 tracks, 45 min., recommended
Shelton recorded gospel for Nashboro as a member of The Skylarks in
1956-57, and by 1958 followed friend Sam Cooke into the secular
marketplace , recording, unlike Cooke, for the Excello label, which
released an LP on him--now an extremely rare slice of vinyl, but easily
obtained on CD. By 1964 he had a #25 hit on "John R" Richbourg's Sims
label with Strain On My Heart (Sims 217). He switched to another
Richbourg label for his next hit Easy Going Fellow (Sound Stage 7
2555) and released an LP on that label (Music In His Soul: Soul In His
Music), which collected his two hits and added 10 tracks. Save Me is
sort of a companion piece to the SPV Earl Gaines CD, in that this one
also features outtakes and out-of-print selections from Shelton's
post-1995 career (he died in 2002) mostly from the Excello Legends
sessions and the Appaloosa label and demos. In fact, the Shelton-penned
Someday Things Are Gonna Change, which features a duet with
Gaines, is the sme recording as the one on Gaines' album. (JC)

It Will Stand - Golden Classics |
● CD $12.98 $9.98 |
16 tracks, highly recommended
A great collection of issued, previously unissued and alternate takes by
this extremely talented Norfolk, VA group who recorded in New Orleans
during '61 & '62 for Joe Banashak's Minit label is sheer delight to the
ears of those who like their harmonies smooth, pretty & soulfully cool.
Featuring the aching pipes of Norman Johnson (who later scored with
Give Me Just A Little More Time with The Chairman Of The Board on
Invictus in 1970), the quintet takes us through a set of 16 songs, most
of which define soul harmony in the clearest terms. Sounds the Drifters
might have made had they not later been overproduced. Includes their
massive hit It Will Stand plus This Misery/ fate Planned It
This Way/ Valley Of Love/ Swish Fish/ Strange Girl/ let Her Feel It In

16 tracks, 58 min, recommended
A 15-year association with producer-arranger Wardell Quezerque left
Chuck Simmons hitless but with an impressive catalog of soul and funk
sides. Former member of the obscure The Unemployed (w/ Quezerque), who
cut sides for Atlantic's Cotillion logo, Simmons (who had a rather
limited voice that was pushed to its limits and beyond regularly) spent
most of his time focussed on his solo careeer -- that is, when he wasn't
working his day job as a mechanic. His contributions to the funk dynasty
include Funky Broom, Hustler's Strut Parts 1 & 2, Lay
It On Me Parts 1 & 2 (which is Hustler's Strut with different
vocals), and Doin' The Sissy, cut as Charlie Simmons and the
Imperials. His more soulful side is featured on Don't Send Me No
Doctor, recorded with Allen Toussaint at his Sea-Saint Recording
Studio, Run Away and You're Not The One For Me (both
ballads!) and I'm Wondering, a should-have-been hit and the
finest cut here. Contains informative booklet notes and four songs
previously unavailable on CD. (JC)

Fortune Teller |
● CD $13.98 $9.98 |
16 tunes by Benny Spellman, one of the many New Orleans
singers that cashed in on the popularity of the Crescent City sound in
the 60's. These Minit, Alon and Bandy tunes were recorded 1959-66 and
presents a nice cross-section of Spellman's gently rolling numbers,
spiced by his always pleasing voice. There's more than one song here
that echoes Benny's supreme moment, singing the bass response on Ernie K
Doe's Mother-In-Law . Fortune Teller/ Lipstick Traces (On A
Cigarette) (Minit 644) has to be one of the best two sided R&B 45's
ever. Both are included plus The Word Game/ T'Ain't It The Truth/
Talk About Love/ Life Is Too Short , etc. (AE)

Originally Krazy Kat LP 833. I confess. I took one look at this and I
knew I'd love it - blues shouters, Tiny Grimes, Frank Motley, Gotham,
great cover photos - yeah! J.B. really has the Wynonie Harris bit down
pat, shoutin' out good time R&B over a blazing R&B band. He is very
impressive on his 7 tunes here, backed up on different occasions by the
orchestras of Grimes, Doc Bagby and Eddie Woodland. Tunes include Hey
Mr. J.B./ Drinking Beer/ I Want A Present For Christmas , etc. Side
two starts with one of the greatest blues shouters, Jimmy Rushing. Mr.
5x5 sings the previously unissued Ain't It Lonesome , backed by
The Count Basie All Stars. Harry Crafton, Danny 'Mr. Alto' Turner, Benny
Brown, Lloyd 'Fat Man' Smith and Gay Crosse all contribute to the
rollicking good time. A very enjoyable collection. Super sleuth Bruce
Bastin figures things out in the liner notes. (AE)

The Robin & Fire Years |
● CD $13.98 $9.98 |
15 tracks, 51 mins, highly recommended
Excellent collection of blues, doo-wop, R&B ballads and some forgettable
versions of a few country songs by superb singer & guitarist Tarheel
Slim (Allen Bunn) and his wife Little Ann recorded for Bobby Robinson's
Red Robin, Fire & Fury labels between 1954 and '62. It includes Slim's
double sided rockin' blues masterpiece from 1959 Number Nine Train/
Wildcat Tamer and two 1954 blues sides by him. There is also a
superb solo performance by Ann on You're Gonna Reap. The rest is
duets Anne including some great minor key doom laden R&B ballads like
the two part Can't Stay Away, It's Too Late and Much
Too Late. Most of the rest is pretty much mainstream R&B plus some
country songs which might have been O.K. but for the awful string
section and wretched heavenly choir. Sound could have been better but is
satisfactory. (FS)

| CARLA THOMAS |
Rhino 71015 |
The Queen Alone |
● CD $13.98 $6.98 |
A straight reissue of Carla's third LP for Stax,
originally issued in 1967. And it's not bad stuff, but it's not great
either; call it accomplished if you like, but certainly not inspired. On
the other hand, somebody at Atlantic must think that this is pretty hot
material, because the company chose to reissue this with some much
worthier music that's still in the can. Oh well. Cuts here include
Carla's version of Chuck Jackson's Any Day Now, I Take It To
My Baby/ When Tomorrow Comes/ Unchanging Love and Lie To Keep Me
From Crying. Original cover art and notes. Decent stereo sound.
Twelve cuts providing 31 minutes of music. (DH)

Hightone HCD 8043 |
Simple |
● CD $14.98 $4.98 |
If you're not a fan of Stevie Ray Vaughan, Jimi Hendrix
and ZZ Top then you probably wouldn't like this extremely heavy new
recording by former Arhoolie artist Chris Thomas. If you like your
guitars full of fuzz, wha wha and distortion then Thomas is your man.
This would sound at home in the Fillmore Ballrooms of the 60's. I would
prefer a lot more flesh and blood in the drumming department but the fat
modern synthetic drums are here to stay I guess. Thomas has a nice epic
flair in his compositions and enough thunder and lightnin' to his guitar
playing to blow out a wall of Marshall amps. War/ Itch/ Simple/ Blood
On The Dagger/ Fool For Love/ Sad, Sad World , etc. (AE)

| SONNY TIL |
Sequel NEMCD 737 |
Solo - Featuring Edna McGriff |
● CD $15.98 $9.98 |
25 tracks, 71 min., recommended
Even while he was leading the preeminent vocal group of the late 40's
and early 50's, Sonny Til was encouraged by his label to record both
solo numbers and, for one session in 1952, duets with Edna McGriff,
whose popular recording of Heavenly Father had brought her to
public attention. And you can rest assured that Til is still the epitome
of silky smoothness even when he lacks the backing of the rest of the
Orioles. Highlights of the program here include My Prayer,
Fool's World, Blame It One Yourself, The First of Summer,
and Panama Joe as solos, and Once in a While and
Pic-A-Dilly as duets. It's delightful music, presented with Sequel's
normal high production values, but be forewarned: If you already own the
Orioles Bear Family boxed set, you already have every track here. (DH)

All N All 1 |
My Love Is Powerful |
● CD $14.98 $7.98 |
10 tracks, 41 min., good
Walker has a nice gravelly edge to his churchy singing as he moves
through a set of (mostly) soul evergreens, which takes some guts, since
listeners cannot help but make mental comparisons with the originators:
Sam Cooke (You Send Me), Otis Redding (Try A Little Tenderness,
Ben E. King (Stand By Me), etc. In general Walker does a
respectable job here, with the exception of Never Can Say Goodbye,
the physics of which seems fundamentally incompatible with his singing
style. But I find myself wishing Walker were singing gospel songs. The
title track is the best cut with Everybody's Trying To Get Over
not far behind. (JC)

| THE WALLACE BROTHERS |
Excello 3014 |
Lover's Prayer |
● CD $14.98 $8.98 |
22 tracks, 47 min., recommended
Their LP on the Sims label is one of the rarest and most valuable albums
of the soul era. But if you like your soul music a bit on the raw and
spontaneous side, this cousin-rather-than-brother aggregation may be
right for you. They were among the very first to take advantage of the
magic touch of the Fame Studios in Muscle Shoals, Alabama. And they even
scored a reasonably good-sized hit in 1964 with the title track here.
This disc reissues their entire output - their Sims singles plus 3
singles recorded for the British Sue label. It includes Love Me Like
I Love You, Faith, I'll Let Nothing Separate Me,
Precious Words, One Way Affair, She Loves Me Not,
Stepping Stone, These Arms of Mine, and Line Between Love
and Hate. It's rough-edged, gospel-influence music, offered with
high production standards. (DH)

| ROBERT WARD |
Black Top 1088 |
Rhythm Of The People |
● CD $15.98 $7.98 |
13 tracks, 50 minutes, recommended
This is the second Black Top release by Ward since his "re-discovery" in
1990. The former leader of the Ohio Untouchables again brings along his
classic unique sound - a Fender Stratocaster played through an old
Magnatone amp with a stereo vibrato. At times he seems a bit overwhelmed
by the organs, horn sections, background vocalists, etc. but listeners
accustomed to the modern soul blues sound will enjoy it and there's
plenty more here to please the lovers of his early 60's style as well.
Ward is at his best on the slower, stark numbers like Say What You
Mean/ Some Things/ Soap Opera Blues (the beautiful gospel duet with
his wife Roberta), Children Of The World (Don't Forget To Pray)
and a faithful remake of the Wilson Pickett/ Falcons tune I Found A
Love (he played guitar on the original) (AE)

| OTIS
WILLIAMS & THE CHARMS |
Hot Productions 5503 |
The Original Rockin' & Chart Masters |
● CD $15.98 $10.98 |
28 tracks, 70 min., recommended
Originally issued on Ace 531 a few years ago. Even though most of the
material here is from this aggregation's glory days with the Deluxe
label, the program also includes the group's first release, Heaven
Only Knows/Loving Baby (Rockin' 516) from 1953, and their three
Chart label releases, where only two of the six sides feature Otis
Williams. Among the highlights are Love Love Stick Stov (Really!)
and Love's Our Inspiration from Chart, and Boom Diddy Boom
Boom/ Crazy Crazy Love, and Hearts of Stone from Deluxe.
Don't be fooled by that last track though. This isn't anything like a
greatest hits compilation. And, true to British preferences, most of
these numbers are upbeat. Otherwise, everything about this release is up
to Ace's usual high standards, with solid notes, graphics, and sound.
