This tribute to Ike Turner celebrates the controversial genius who can lay claim to having invented rock 'n' roll in the 1950s and soul in the 1960s. It takes the listener through Turner's musical development with new recordings that include both "Ike" and "Ike and Tina" material from the 1951 title track to 1973, especially highlighting his peak creative output from 1969 to 1971.
Nashville's Mr. Groove Band, under the inspired leadership of Tim Smith, features two stunning female vocalists, both ex-Ikettes: Bonnie Bramlett and Audrey Turner (Turner's wife during his final years). The bonus track "Prancing" is an original, previously unreleased instrumental in vintage Turner style, with spectacular lead guitar work, terse horn interjections, rollicking boogie-woogie piano, and ever-tight backing group the Kings of Rhythm.
Personnel: Darryl Johnson (lead and background vocals); Tim Smith (bass); Roddy Smith (guitar); Tim Gordon (saxophone); Steve Willetts (piano, organ); Donny Marsahll, Tony Creasman (drums); Audrey Turner (lead vocals tracks 7,9,10); Bonnie Bramlett (lead vocals track 9).
