Whole Lotta Drinkin' On the Block CD
Here are 30 slices of hot, rockin' blues recorded and performed for just one purpose – dancing, getting down and having a real good time. This music was made for jukeboxes and specifically for jukeboxes in African American areas of the United States, be they rural or urban. The songs on this collection was recorded between 1944 and 1960. The urban juke joints, especially those in Chicago, were very influential in the rise of Rhythm & Blues across America during the 1950s and most of the big stars of blues performed regularly in these clubs. Despite the passage of time these 30 recordings still rock with a vengeance that should satisfy anyone’s dancing feet. So, just like they did back in the day, roll back the carpet, pour yourself a drink and just let the good times roll.
