New Breed Workin': Blues With A Rhythm - Various Artists (Audio CD - 02/05/2016)

This Kent CD is aimed at R&B lovers who want to hear something new and a third of our tracks are debuting here. Ace's tapes and contacts are considerable. As well as new finds, we have looked through our collection assembled over the last forty years of catalogues. We found a rich vein of New Orleans R&B in the AFO vaults; we feature Nookie Boy's 1962 release 'I've Got A Feeling For You Baby' alongside Robbie Lee's 'Let Me Know', which only emerged during our fabulous 1990s 'Gumbo Stew' CD series and a totally unknown tape of 'Lucky Girl' by Joan Dovalle which had evaded the earlier compilations. A further triumvirate of scorching sounds comes from the world of Cleveland Ohio indie blues labels. The barely known or recorded Pee Wee, Papa Jarvis and Big Charley & The Domans supply top-notch blues busters from the early 60s unheard since the studio date. Chet 'Poison' Ivey takes that Crescent City approach to 'Now We Must Part', a recent tape find. From the same Arock/Sylvia New York stable come the nerve-tingling 'Cruel World' and an alternate version of the Buddy Lucas-penned 'Steamboat'. More master tape magic can be heard on Mary Johnson's R&B dance classic 'These Tears' which comes with added brass section and sax solo.

Condition:NEW.
