Savoy compiled these solid blues and boogie woogie sides, including tracks by Tiny Bradshaw, Gatemouth Moore, and others. While these tracks are available elsewhere, Blues N' Boogie is still a nice budget-priced introduction to some raw, postwar sounds. ~Matt Collar

Blues ‘N’ Boogie is a unique collection of obscure, fun tunes dating from 1945-52. From the onset, the compilation does a nice job of placing this form of black jazz into historic context. Spanning through 18 tracks, this record showcases some genuine honkers (Big Jay McNeely) and shouters (Helen Humes). Also included are rare gems by Little Miss Sharecropper and a young man named Sonny Wilson, who are better known now as LaVern Baker and Jackie Wilson respectively. Not all the performers on this collection became so well known as those recognizable names, but they were integral in keeping the scene alive and pumping. These particular blues and boogies are often filtered through the sound of the big band style arrangements so popular during WWII and the early post-war years, which really sets these tunes as period pieces, though that hardly matters here. This is music of a particular moment in time. ~Barbara Flaska
