Go with the Ace or Sun cd's, but skip this.......2004-07-09

This cd in no way represents Rosco Gordon, he doesn't play ,much piano here, and it doesn't even sound like him. I am Rosco's #1 fan, and if you played this for me, I wouldn't recognize it as being him. No boogie woogie beat paino, no smooth vocals. His vocals sound like your typical 60's singer. This is awful. Rosco never even sounded this bad even at the end of his career. This is just awful, try any other cd's, just skip ANY of his Vee Jay stuff, it stinks like 6 month old rotten eggs.

This is Rosco's only "forgettable" period.......2004-07-09

Rosco was wonderful right from the beginning at Sun records with his driving boogie woogie piano playing, and appealing singing. And in his RPM years in the early 50's he was at his creative peak, inventing new boogie rhythms, and practicly inventing what Jamacians would eventually turn into ska. However on this cd you get "Rosco's Rhythm"(which is what they called his unique brand of boogie piano), only on the opening track, and very mellow, played with no energy or enthusiasm. The rest of the songs mostly from the 60's(his Vee Jay period stunk!) feature him as a singer, and there is almost no piano playing. This is mushy pop with doo-wop background singers, and dated arrangements. The songs are WAY overproduced, and Rosco's vocie sounds liek a ghost of the singer he was 10 years back. This cd should never have been released, and Vee-jay should have let Rosco play piano, and have his wailin' horn section taht normally accompanies him. On this cd there si almost not a honk fro ma single saxaphone, that's noticable. A horrible example of Rosco Gordon, Vee Jay captured him at his worst. The funny thing is that he kept playing till his death a few years ago, and I cought him in concert in Europe, and he was energet and rockin' and playing his piano, and sounding so alive and fun, so it's the way Vee Jay recorded Rosco, not Rosco's lack of performance taht makes this cd so unworthy even for the diehard fan(even diehard fans should skip this garbage).

Rest in peace Rosco.......2002-07-23

Rest in Peace Rosco Gordon who passed away today in Queens at the age of 68." No more doggin,foolin around with you ". Another Beale streeter has gone on home. Hang on in there BB and Bobby Bland.

Come again Rosco.......2001-05-17

This is a very great and I think overlooked record. Rosco Gordon was one of R&B's most famous exponents in the 1950s and this is a fantastic, enthusiastic and expert come-back album. As with any older artist, the voice is naturally not quite as it was back in the day, but Rosco is still great, great, great and so is the truly smoking band which backs him with extreme and thundering finesse. Most compositions are original - dig "No More Doggin" and "Just a Little Bit" for proof that the man and this disc are Classic! Great vintage sound and production. And yes, Rosco was a huge influence on early Jamaican sounds. So do what the man says - "Let's Get High." If you don't imbibe, let the wine of this record get you higher than a Georgia pine. Play loud at parties. Sublime rock and roll, and blues, too.

Wonderful Comeback from an R & B Pioneer.......2000-11-28

Rosco Gordon is one of the unsung heroes of rhythm & blues. Memphis raised, Gordon recorded for Sun Records in the early '50's, and recorded sporadically for other companies for the next decade. A solid and distinctive singer who also played a mean piano, Gordon wrote his own songs, which set him apart from many of his contemporaries. "No More Doggin'" and "Just A Little Bit" are the best known compositions.

Unfortunately, Gordon shares the fate of many talented r&B performers in that he was exploited by record companies, music publishers and others. He made very little money from his music, and was often taken advantage of by those he trusted. When Gordon married his wife, Barbara, in the early 1960's and began to raise a family, he had the good sense to get out of the music business and enter steadier if less glamorous career in dry cleaning in New York City. It seems he had few regrets. Gordon's escape from the tough life of an entertainer is probably the reason he is still with us at age 66. He now makes a much-welcome return to music with the very enjoyably "Memphis Tennessee."

This comeback album is a revelation. Gordon sounds terrific, as he revisits some of the great songs he has written and previously recorded, and offers some nice new tunes as well. Accompanied by guitarist Duke Robillard and his terrific band, Gordon demonstates that he is still very musch in his prime as a performer. He has lost nothing as a singer or a pianist. Blues fans and fans of classic r&B will enjoy this set, which concludes with an informative interview with Gordon that discusses his career.

The program notes are good, although they make a big deal out of Gordon's influence on ska, the Jamaican precursor to reggae. I did not know that Gordon was so revered in Jamaica, so this was interesting, but the influence of '50's and '60's American music (particularly the New Orleans style) on the rise of ska has been well-documented in the past. I always thought that Sam Cooke, Jackie Wilson, Professor Longhair and Smokey Robinson were the major influences on ska, but I'm glad to add Rosco Goron's name to this list.
