Joan Selects - Volume 13 – Joan’s Got The Blues, Again!

And boy, are we glad that Joan’s got the blues again, because that means we get to listen to another selection of 45s and 78s from her incredible collection.

Without any further ado it’s over to Joan for comments on some of the selections:
"From Dinah Washington's racy double-entendre "TV is the Thing This Year" to John Lee Hooker's remake for the Fortune Records subsidiary Hi-Q of his obscure1950 "609 Boogie", this second collection of blues should have plenty to suit all. Calvin Boze sings of Los Angeles in 1950 in his Angel City Blues. Wynonie Harris' amazing "Stormy Night Blues" backed by an unaccredited doo-wop group is actually the B side of "Good Morning Mr. Judge" recorded for King Records in 1950. This particular cut is from my original 78 King recording.

“Good Jax Boogie” by The Dave Bartholomew Band, recorded in 1950, was originally a radio advertisement for New Orleans Jax Beer, brewed by the Jackson Brewery. Ervin "Big-Boy" Groves continues his comedic musical monologues (Listen to “I Got A New Car”, on the earlier Joan Selects Blues volume) with his "You Can't Beat The Horses".

"You're an Old Lady" by Sonny Boy Williamson is another dub from one of my original RCA Victor 78s, and features an all star backing group consisting of: Tampa Red, Big Maceo and Chick Saunders. This blues collection contains raw country blues and ranges to sophisticated uptown urban inner city blues, and represents some of theblues recordings I enjoy most listening to."
