Johnny Otis Blues Caravan Pledging My Love 1954-1957 CD
Johnny Otis -The Godfather Of Rhythm & Blues - was one of those men to whom the phrase A Living Legend was applied throughout his career. As a singer, musician, composer, bandleader, record producer and talent scout he went on to become a seminal influence on both R&B and Rock 'n' Roll. This 26 track collection is the second in a two CD mini-series which anthologises virtually everything that he recorded between 1952-57 for Don Robey’s famed Peacock and Duke Records labels in Houston, Texas. In addition to Otis’ own releases it features cuts on which he and his band backed artists like Lovey Lewis, Johnny Ace, The Sultans, Junior Ryder, Joe Mr Google Eyes August, Marie Adams and Big Mama Thornton, and which Otis produced.
