Blues Meets Doo-Wop Volume 1

If you think you’ve heard all the roots of R&B already, gather ‘round. This 28 song collection finds some of the most juke boxed of the juke box hits of the 50s , with artists ranging the obscure (“Detroit Junior”) to some major legends like Bo Diddley meeting up with Little Walter on “Diddley Daddy”. Some completely obscure doo wop groups like The Spiders (“Tears Began to Flow”) and The Charms (“Bye By Baby”) mix harmonies with grit, while Jimmie Witherspoon belts it out on “Back Door Blues” and Hank Ballard is in pre-Twist on “I Got A Mind To L eave You”. This is some 30 weight oil here, and it is SLICK!
