JBJ 1054EP
|
Mid-century R&B from one of the best artists of the blues shouter era -- none other than Roy Brown. "Good Rockin' Man" is, as its title suggests, a upfront and bold slab of jump blues machismo. Before rock & roll became established as a genre in itself, artists such as Roy Brown were laying the foundations, in both tone and attitude, with swaggering, brazenly libidinous floor-shakers like this.

JBJ 1019EP
|
Two killer vocal rhythm & blues sides from the great but sadly somewhat unheralded Roy Brown. "Mr. Hound Dog's In Town" was Roy's snappy retort to Big Mama Thornton's hit "Hound Dog," featuring an immense, rolling, drum-led backing track with some killer guitar licks borrowed from Thornton's original. On the flip is a great jump blues classic, and this time Brown is answering his own call. "Miss Fanny Brown" was one of his biggest sellers in the late '40s.
