Just picked an unknown (Bill Doggett) as for me as I'm only familiar with the better known artists His LP of "Prelude to the Blues" (1962) Columbia Records was just a pick me up as a three LP buy. Up until then had not heard of this performer. But half way through through side A, I was impressed with his playing and the way the rest of the players arranged themselves around this main man.
The music is lay back and cool...almost freezing at times, as he mellowed out on the electric organ.
The LP lists some of the better known tunes, and he does more than adequate job of playing them out. HIS remarks on this effort was, "It's a lazy swinging blues all the way- soul melodic."
Now, am acquainted with the more aggressive style of blues, but this one set me back on my heels...literally! His rendition of "When it's Sleepy Time Down South" was really nicely arranged and performed. Even Doggett felt that, "It could be remembered for years".
My share for the day, eh?
