B.B – Let The Good Times Roll – The Music Of Louis Jordan – Cd
Albums consisting entirely of one artist paying tribute to another are commonplace, especially in the blues world where a particular artist’s musical heritage is easy to trace. It’s rare, though, for an artist of B.B. King’s calibre to do such a tribute and we’re all lucky that the artist he chose to honour is Louis Jordan– the King of the Blues saluting the King of Swing. King’s clean, expressive guitar style and rough-hewn voice are so distinctive that there’s no mistaking them for anyone else’s and hearing them applied to Jordan’s classic songs– including “Ain’t Nobody Here but Us Chickens”, “Somebody Done Changed the Lock on My Door”, “Saturday Night Fish Fry” and “Nobody Knows You When You’re Down and Out”– demonstrates both King’s considerable skill and the great versatility of Jordan’s song writing. That makes this record more than a mere curiosity, as does the stellar piano work from another living legend, Dr. John. — Genevieve Williams
