Various - Blues From The Checker Vaults (2-CD set)

The Checker label was founded by brothers Leonard and Philip Chess in 1952, along with the famous Chess label that would prove a driving force in the rise of the blues in the Fifties. One of the reasons for opening another label was to maximise the chance of radio airplay, so Checkers, a board game similar to chess, was the logical choice of name. With the likes of Elmore James, Jimmy Witherspoon and Bo Diddley there s a treasure trove of music to be found on these discs. Checkers is a board game...you ll be anything but!

Morris Pejoe/Arthur 'Big Boy' Spires - Wrapped In My Baby

Size: 95,3 MB
Time: 40:14

11. Dark And Stormy Night (Arthur 'Big Boy' Spires) (2:46)

13. You Can't Tell (Arthur 'Big Boy' Spires) (3:03)
14. Wrapped In My Baby (Arthur 'Big Boy' Spires) (2:49)

These are the famous basement rehearsal tapes that producer Al Smith conducted for United Records in 1954. The Pejoe sides feature a dead-on rocking "Let's Get High" (heard here in two takes) with a droning sax section and his own distorted guitar work fueling originals like "May Bea," "You Messed Up," "Baby, You Know That's Wrong," "Move It on Out and Go" and "Treat Me the Same." A later, two-song session for Atomic H from late 1959-1960 is also included. The Spires sides find him working in the same gutbucket territory as his two singles for Chess and Chance in the early '50s with "Moody This Morning," "Dark and Stormy Night," "You Can't Tell" and the title track (the latter two featuring vocals by pianist Willie "Long Time" Smith) all being well worthy of reissuance. Excellent updated liner notes by Bill Dahl make this a Chicago blues rarity that's well worth tracking down. ~Review by Cub Koda

Thanks to Kempen.
