I haven't done one of these in too long so here is the next one -
The magnificent jukebox march through musical history continues -- talk about a diverse and fertile year, this is certainly one. Blues shouters like Big Joe Turner, Tiny Bradshaw, and Wynonie Harris are at their peak, some of the Beale Street Boys like BB King, Roscoe Gordon and Johnny Ace are making their first appearances, vocal groups like the Orioles, Clovers, Ravens, Swallows & Dominoes, hard blues from Elmore James and Little Walter, Dinah and Ruth, the New Orleans contingent represents with Fats, Smiley Lewis, Lloyd Price and Roy Milton, and a pair of wild card gems in Little Caesar and Willie Mabon doing what I assume is the original of a song we have all heard from someone.....Man this stuff is good.
1952
