For many years, the attention paid to Excello's unparalleled catalogue of Louisiana swamp blues, though certainly deserved, has had the unfortunate side effect of obscuring the label's rich catalogue of jump blues and boogie sides. Many of Excello's earliest and most fascinating records were made by urban Nashville combos that toiled on the bandstands of the city's north side. Contrary to popular perception, Nashville had a large, active R&B scene during the post-WWII years.
Located on Fourth Avenue North, the New Era Club, especially, was a hotbed of piano and saxophone rhythm. Artists like Shy Guy Douglas, Good Rockin' Sam Beasley, Bernie Hardison, and the ubiquitous Kid King's Combo (the backup band on untold numbers of Excello sides) were all popular at the New Era - as were out-of-town regulars like Little Richard and Ivory Joe Hunter. /Excerpt from the liner notes by Daniel Cooper
