Product Description
CD Description
Following the critical acclaim and enthusiastic response to Heavy Sugar: The Pure Essence of New Orleans R&B, compiler Stuart Colman has dug deep into the city s unique recording legacy to bring about a sumptuous second helping. In addition to the requisite sourcings, the net has been cast wider still in order to focus on material gleaned from such picayune outlets as Rustone, Pontchartrain, Athens, Winner and Spinett. There is a very good reason for this. Midway through July 1954, The Times-Picayune (New Orleans powerful daily broadsheet) brought to its readership s attention an editorial issue entitled Music Box Week . The feature centered on a coming together of the area s record industry chiefs, and their declaration that the juke box had become a national institution. Never had a truer word been spoken. Every diner, bar, night club, laundromat and military barracks within the city limits sported a Wurlitzer, a Seeburg or a Rock-Ola, and the multitude of coins dropped into the slots gave rise to a win-win situation. With the coming of rock & roll in the mid-fifties, it was the Big Easy s arsenal of neon Nickel Odeons rather than its radio stations where you could hear the latest sounds first. This gave the shoe-string independents, most of whom were unlikely to accrue a review in the trades or make a programme director s playlist, the chance of some welcome promotion. So, in order to reflect this freewheeling coalescence, names like Johnny Love, Willie West and Alonzo Stewart have been given the chance to rub shoulders with such greats as Fats Domino, Little Richard and Huey Piano Smith. Welcome to Heavy Sugar: Second Spoonful.

First of all, this is compiled (as was Volume 1) by Stuart Colman. Mr Colman knows his stuff (I remember well his radio shows in the late 70s).
Even if you are a NOLA buff, there will be lots of records on here that you won't have. I'm guessing around 50% are new to me.
I really hope that companies such as Fantastic Voyage can continue to bring out these wonderful recordings that are 'out of copyright' (in the UK). No major label will ever bring out work like this so we have to support the small labels when they do these great compilations.

this is really pooor stuff in comparison with the first heavy sugar release,if criticaly edited one cd of the best on offer here would have sufficed,instead yet again as with most of these sugar three cd comp's you get to much padding with lots of sub standard and pop numbers mixed with the more uptempo RaB and soul,there is a fashion in music at the moment that tends to over praise every thing with the new orleans tag this distortion does the genuinely great new orleans music no favours
