Real Gone Rocket – Session Man Extraordinaire – Selected Singles 1951 to 1959
CD (Item 605547) Jerome (UK), 1950s — Condition: New Copy
Ike Turner's plenty great on his own – but this sweet little set features Turner's raw guitar and soulful vocals in the company of a number of other 50s acts – all artists who worked alongside Ike in the underground of the time – and called him into work on their sessions! Given the grit in the grooves, and the personal energy in the music, the overall sound is hardly what you'd expect from the term "session man" – none of the slick 70s modes that might imply for a musician – and instead, a role that's much more that of a raw, rocking collaborator! Titles include "Ho Ho" by Icky Renrut, "Ain't Go No Home" by Starrs, "Peg Leg Woman" by Willie King, "Gypsy Blues" by Matt Cockrell, "I Ain't Drunk" by Lonnie The Cat, "Suffocate" by Johnny Wright, and "The Big Question" by Clayton Love. © 1996-2013, Dusty Groove, Inc. | |||||
