Here it is the anticipated Volume 2 of this Hipshakers from the Cool Vampi Soul label.
Compiled by Mr Fine Wine from Downtown Soulvile for the second outing of King / Federal R&B.
Once again the Cd is packed with mostly uncomped tracks and what a corker selection this is, from the opening track from Hank Marr, "Marsanova" an instrumental that starts of a bit Latiny with some fine Organ playing, Rudy Ray Moore speeds up the pace next with "The Buggy Ride", . Next up is a previously released track from El Pauling & Royal Abbit (or the 5 Royales) with Jail Bird, also on the Kent CD "Catch That Teardrop" from the 5 Royales, but still a great track. The fourth track from Mike Pedicin has already been comped on New Breed R&B from Kent, "Burnt Toast and Black Coffee, thats all she left For Me"
Mary Johnson follows with the mid tempo "You Have My Blessings", very bluesy. Mr Freddy King follows with " The Bossa Nova Watusi Twist" very tasty indeed, Rhythm and Blues Instrumental with Freddys Guitar playing prominent in the track. Amos Milburn (Bad Bad Whiskey Fame) next with "Whiz A Shoo Pepi Dada", a piano latino vocal track, Hank Ballard with "Whats Your Name is a fast paced track (close resembling Incense by the Anglos) with Lula Reed next and her classic Puddentane (this is also on the Lula Reed/Tiny Topsy CD release from Kent).
The remaining tracks on this CD are equally brilliant - Johnny Watson and I Say I Love You, again from New Breed R & B from Kent. Titus Turner with his Popcornesque "Coralee", Carol Ford with her upbeat Run Baby, Billy Lamont with a Little Richard sounding "Hear Me Now", Another Hank Ballard Track and " What Is This I See" Elliott Shavers with the title track "Scratch that Itch" with a horn blowing and guitar Instrumental , Mickey Baker and "Steam Roller" another instrumental with nifty Organ sounding vibes, Eddie Kirk slows down the speed with a bluesy "Monkey Tonight", Lloyd Nolan and his "Fun Fun" follows with a shouter of a Mid tempo blues track. Willie Dixon follows with Our Kind Of Love , a very Shirley and Lee style track and finally Otis Redding with a 1968 track "Shout Bamalama", another Little Richard style screamer.
This CD is Excellant, if you bought CD 1 then you know what treats you are going to get. The booklet doesnt give that much detail on the artists but some nice pics of the record labels. The value of actually owning all of these tracks on Vinyl would far outweigh the cost of this CD. If you like Rhythm and Blues then this is a fantastic collection, highly recomended. All tracks orignal artists and orignally released between "56-68 on either King or Federal labels.
I look forward to a volume 3 - hopefully they will add some of the James Brown and Bill Doggett rare King tracks into the mix...have to wait and see

An excellent second offering from Vampi Soul (see Volume 1), who have again trawled the vaults of the King and Federal record labels to produce this fine Cd of Rhythm and Blues(dance)rarities( 1956-1968). Hopefully, there will be a 3rd Volume.
Absolutly Brilliant cd and a BIG MUST for any R&B lover , Great Tunes Brilliant cd cover and I am glad to have it in my collection ... BRING ON THE NEXT ONE !!!
