Ham Hocks and Cornbread
Four discs. Each aproximately 77-78 min. in length. Remastered.JSP has done it again! Given us several hours of good rocking jump blues. The artists range from known(Johnny Otis) to the less well-known(Goree Carter) a singer-guitarist from Texas. This is the music that bridged the gap between blues r&b and rock and roll. These recordings were all made with small to medium sized groups usually consisting of a rhythm section and at least one or two horns. The type of group where the singer and the honking sax try to outdo each other. This is exciting music! Meant to be played loud,preferably with something cold to drink. There is very little let-up from one song to the next-which is a good thing! In the end the artist is almost immaterial because the music is so unrelentenly good,loud and fast. If gut-bucket r&b is your thing-pick this up! And make sure you have something cold to drink with it.
