Title: Elect Amos Milburn to the R&R Hall of Fame !!
Review: I agree with Mr. Gilpin. These R&B greats (Rock & Roll pioneers/influences, all of them) still had it, when they recorded these tracks for Johnny O's Blues Spectrum label in the 70's. Special mention to the late great Amos Milburn...he had suffered a stroke prior to these recordings, and was left paralyzed on his left side. Thus he's only playing right-hand piano, with Johnny Otis covering the bass end of the keyboard. But you know what? Ol's Amos's voice was in great shape, his good right hand was as swingin' as ever, and he sounded like he was having a good time making records again. Damn, why has the musical world forgotten about Amos Milburn - he should be in the Rock & Roll Hall of Fame as an "early influence" . The "Jukebox Genie" they called during his hit-making days! All these guys: Pee Wee Crayton, Big Joe, Louis Jordan, etc....they wrote the freakin' bible of rock & roll, before it even had that name!
Is the review positive or negative?
