2007 digitally remastered collection of the Blues that'll give the listener a nice chuckle or two...or three...or four.....A hilarious and scurrilous collection of R&B and comedy like you've never heard! Most of these ... more »artists need no introduction; Scatman Crothers (star of The Shining and er...Hong Kong Fuey), Redd Foxx, the outrageous Rudy Ray Moore, Slim Gaillard, Sammy Davis, Moms Mabley and Pearl Bailey. Dusty Fletcher was the originator of the enduring international success "Open The Door, Richard!". The Spirits Of Rhythm included comedians George "Blues Man" Vann and the seminal Leo "Scat" Watson. Al Jackson had been half of the hilarious Patterson & Jackson comedy team. Little Arthur Matthews had been the "Dope" half of the popular West Coast comedians "Mope & Dope". He later joined Johnny Otis' R&B revue as a singer/comedian. Otis and his band back Matthews on these two sides. Her signature piece, comedienne Effie Smith had a national R&B hit in 1965 with a recut of the two-part "Dial That Telephone", recorded originally for Aladdin in 1953: this two-parter is the 1956 first expanded re-recording for her own Spot Records. She discovered rock 'n' roll act Don & Dewey and her son was Los Angeles producer/song-writer Fred Sledge Smith of Bob & Earl, and The Olympics fame. Both of them worked at Stax until the label closed down. Beautiful packaging featuring rare memorabilia and extensive notes by Dr. Dave Penny! A must for serious R&B fans....and anyone with a sense of humor! Rev-ola.« less

"Very good assortment of artists that are hard to find. Humorous and entertaining. Highly recommend this for anyone who likes the blues. This is the blues in a different light."
