Thank heavens it isn't always my choice, our very good friends in the US, this time Ryan residing in Texas sent me an email and suggested this one and it is a corker. A bit on the expensive side, but we don't count the pennies when we're adding to our collection do we.
Besides helping invent rock 'n' roll with "Shake, Rattle and Roll," Big Joe Turner was one of the most soulful blues shouters of all time. Boss of the Blues is arguably his finest recording, reuniting him with boogie-woogie pianist Pete Johnson and a jazzy, jumping all-star horn section. Turner sings with particular gusto throughout these classic 1956 sessions.
