Product Description
CD Description
The great bluesman's most commercial and sought-after recordings from 1958-1960! - Included are 3 previously unissued masters. - Blues, Rock'n'Roll, and R&B collectors will want this! - One of the most prolific bluesmen of the post-war era, Jimmy McCracklin became a rock'n'roll star during the late 1950s. After his Hot 100 hit The Walk in 1958, McCracklin signed with Mercury Records. That memorable chapter in the pianist's lengthy and prolific career is captured in fabulous detail on 'The Mercury Recordings,' containing every existing master from his 1958-1960 contract. Recording in New York with pioneering African American A&R man Clyde Otis, Jimmy waxed three blistering dance workouts at one session: his original Georgia Slop, The Wobble, and Let's Do It (The Chicken Scratch), and all three of them are here. His last Mercury date in September '60 was done in New Orleans, and McCracklin laid down one of the truly great versions of Folsom Prison Blues. He wasn't on Mercury for long, but his brief stint makes for exciting listening. Collectors have been looking for this ever since Bear Family s original edition went out-of-print! Now it's back.

Jimmy McCracklin war einer der kreativsten Bluesmusiker der Nachkriegszeit und mutierte Ende der 50er Jahre zu einem Rock'n'Roll-Star. Nach seinem Top-100-Hit 'The Walk' wechselte er zum Mercury-Label. Dieses denkwürdige Kapitel in der langen und so ergiebigen Karriere des Pianisten ist äußerst detailliert auf 'The Mercury Recordings' dokumentiert. Fabelhafte Dance-Nummern wie das Original seines 'Georgia Slop','The Wobble' und 'Let's Do It (The Chicken Scratch)'. Lange war er zwar nicht für Mercury tätig, aber was dabei entstanden ist, begeistert noch heute

The Mercury Recordings by Jimmy McCracklin
25 Jun 2004
Format:Audio CD
This is an important record because it gives us a clear view into where jazz and blues became R&B. It's also a wonderful recording to just listen to. Great highway (road trip) music.
I can't wait to spring a few of the tracks (What's That Part 1&2) on my next dance party.
