Todd Rhodes - Dance Music That Hits The Spot!

This is a re-up of a post I originally put on rockhall. I have replaced the scan of the front cover (which was pretty dreadful) with a new much-improved scan.
A mix of jazzy jump blues and punchy R&B instrumentals. The earliest sides were recorded for Sensation and Vitacoustic in 1947/8, the rest for King in 1951-54. "Blues For The Red Boy" was used by Alan Freed as the theme for his Moondog radio show in 1951 in Cleveland.

If you dig this album then you should buy this excellent CD which has been issued by Ace -

CDCHD 856. Todd Rhodes' early r&B recordings in superb sound quality. Far better than the compressed mp3s ripped from some 1980s bootleg on offer here at Be Bop Wino! Plus a great information booklet is included in the usual exemplary Ace packaging.
