Joe Turner - vocals, with Pete Johnson - piano & his orchestra. All of Arhoolie LP/C 2004 plus 12 previously un-reissued sides. Recorded in Los Angeles 1947-1949.

“Joe Turner is the granddaddy of jump blues vocalists, a robust shouter who in one turn of phrase can encompass the sweaty thrill of great sex, the dangerous abandon of a weekend bender, and the anticipatory rush of a roadhouse saxophone break. From his early recordings in the 1940s up through his quintessential and influential Atlantic work from the '50s, Joe Turner epitomized rock-and-roll's spirit so thoroughly that its creation seems impossible without his big booming presence. His Atlantic classics are amply documented, as are his early Decca sessions; 'Tell Me Pretty Baby' assembles the West Coast recordings Turner made in the late '40s for Jack Lauderdale, with a band led by Turner's long-standing counterpart, pianist Pete Johnson, and featuring the blazing solos of sax man Maxwell Davis. The material may not ring with the familiarity of Turner's Atlantic hits, but these sessions are steeped in the traditions of barroom blues and Kansas City jazz the same traditions that make Turner one of the most important figures in both blues and rock and-roll.” ~John Floyd
