The Best of Louis Jordan [MCA] (1977) more music like this

by Louis Jordan

This is a best-of CD collection that actually lives up to its name. Virtually all of Louis Jordan's hits, which musically bridged the gap between small-group swing, R&B, and rock & roll, are on this single CD, including "Choo Choo Ch'Boogie," "Let the Good Times Roll," "Ain't Nobody Here But Us Chickens," "Saturday Night Fish Fry," "Caldonia," ...

Miss Calypso (1957) more music like this

by Maya Angelou

This reissue was probably motivated by the exotica-space age pop revival. The cover, after all, features Angelou draped in a slip of a red dress, gyrating next to a fire in the middle of a (almost definitely fake) jungle. It's really not that strange or cheesy, though. It's more or less straight-ahead pop-calypso, sung with respectable gutsiness ...

Go Go Swing Live (1986) more music like this

by Chuck Brown

If you're ever in the position of deciding whether to buy a studio or live recording by Chuck Brown, opt for the live disc every time; Brown's bounty of sounds marry and flow much better in a live setting. On this live capture, the multi-talented Washington D.C. native's transitions from go-go to swing, jazz, blues, and R&B, are smooth as butter. ...

Any Other Way to Go? (1987) more music like this

by Chuck Brown & The Soul Searchers

Best known for their ferocious live gigging, Chuck Brown & the Soul Searchers' recorded catalog often falls by the wayside. But still, live shows aside, their albums remain one of the strongest and best chronicles of Washington, D.C.'s go-go sound. And Any Other Way to Go?, coming as the scene's spark was dying, is an excellent, tight masterpiece ...

Man Alive It's the Jumping Jive (1999) more music like this

by Louis Jordan

For the most part, this double-disc compilation of tracks by Louis Jordan & His Tympany 5 along with other groups features re-recordings of the classic material he cut for Decca. It's immediately apparent in the sound of these sides. That said, it is Jordan, and it can be honestly said that the man never issued a bad recording. If the original ...
