Rockin' and Rollin' In New Orleans CD

Jesse Allen
Rockin' and Rollin' In New Orleans 1951-1958 CD

Jesse Allen remains one of New Orleans' Great Unknowns, and his entire recording career is believed to be encapsulated in the twenty tracks featured on this set.
Yet the quality of these sides is so impressive that you can’t help wondering why he didn’t score any hits, and why he didn’t cut more records.
In particular, powerful discs like Rockin' and Rollin'’ and Love You Baby have become highly-touted collectors’ items.
