This is an insightful look into early R&B tunes that are rarely heard today. Some of the songs are over fifty years old but you can still hear the raw energy of the singers and musicians alike. Some of the lyrics are surprisingly provocative for their time, and it's apparent everyone is having a good time. Listen to this CD and you'll hear the influence these artists had on the music that became known as rock and roll. The overall sound quality is also impressive. King Records began in Cincinnati and spawned many artists including the late great James Brown. Mr Brown is not included on this compilation but many great acts are such as, Freddy King, The Drivers, The Swallows, Lula Reed, and Pigmeat Peterson. You have probably never heard some of these recordings before, but that's what makes this such a fun collection to listen to.Read full review
