Customer Reviews

A Blues Classic!
I first heard this album 25 years ago, thanks to some very good friends. It was a favorite back then, one of those albums you played constantly, always finding something time and again that made it special. It's one of those rare CD's that simply does not have a bad cut on it. You'll find that you not only want a hot dog for your roll, but you'll also want this CD for your Blues/Swing/Jazz collection!

Constant Rotation
I love this collection! Saturday Night Fish Fry, I Got An Uncle In Harlem, and Fifteen Minute Intermission are my favorites but practically every song on these two discs is special. Do yourself a favor and nab it because music this good, be it from the 20s, 30s, 40s, or whatever, should never be without a listener. "We were rockin'...!"
