Thirty-one tracks of hard-hitting 1950s rhythm & blues from the legendary Nappy Brown. With his powerful, unmistakable voice and a string of superb original recordings, this collection captures the wild, rocking side of one of the great R&B singers of the era, from Don't Be Angry and Little By Little to The Right Time and Rocket 88.
Brown's music sits right at the crossroads where rhythm & blues was developing into rock 'n' roll, and these recordings have exactly the sort of infectious energy that made his records favourites with dancers. Alongside the better-known titles are plenty of less familiar gems including Two Faced Woman, Piddley Patter Patter, Goody Goody Gum Drop, Skiddy Woe and Drinkin' Wine Spo-Dee-O-Dee.
If you're into original 1950s rhythm & blues, rock 'n' roll and the roots of the dancefloor sound, this is a cracking Nappy Brown collection. Thirty-one tracks of the real thing from Nappy Brown, packed with pounding rhythms, big vocals and the kind of raw R&B that still sounds ready to shake the floor.
