Shrimp And Gumbo (Zippy)


The third and final Pathe Marconi collection of Dave Bartholomew's Imperial sides. There may be a couple of weaker tracks but there are some real finger poppers which demand attention, especially "The Ice Man" and "An Old Cow Hand From A Blues Band" which had me bopping round the room yesterday. "Texas Hop" is nothing like the Pee Wee Crayton classic but is nevertheless a fine instrumental outing for a lineup which includes Fats Domino.

There are informative sleeve notes by Jeff Hannusch and a discography by Kurt Mohr and Gilles Petard, so no need for me to add anything!

I found this little insert inside the sleeve (in fact two of them), and how I wish I had bought more of these releases back then -


Keep a knockin' and keep a rockin'!

Thanks BW, I didn't have this particular album. Can't remember if I've already told you that I met Dave Bartholomew In Australia when he was on tour with Fats in the mid 1970s. I went to the Fats press reception and all the press/media people were busy with Fats but I recognized Dave & Lee Allen standing to the side, so walked over and introduced myself, and I had the pair of them all to myself for around 30 minutes. Had a most interesting chat about various artists and sessions those 2 greats had played on.

Cheers guys. Thanks for the reminiscence Bob Mac. I'm currently re-reading "Blue Monday: Fats Domino and the Lost Dawn of Rock 'N' Roll" by Rick Coleman in which Dave Bartholomew features prominently. A very fine read, well worth obtaining.
