Very Important Recordings / 5
Although it has been said that Richard *Rocked* in Clubs in the early '50s his recordings on RCA and Peacock from that era are more in the melancholy slow blues and swingin' fast blues tradition of the 1940s. It seems that record companies were not yet ready for the pioneering sound of "Long Tall Sally". But just because tracks like "Get Rich Quick", "Ain't Nothin' Happening", "Taxi Blues" have only a hint of what to come, that doesn't mean they do not represent an amazing new talent on the scene, singer-songwriter-showman Little Richard. Despite the obvious echoes of Roy Brown, Billy Wright, etc., you can hear a joyful tenor singing circles around any "influences", and on "Little Richard's Boogie" you can hear a funky piano leaving the other instrumentalists breathless.
A big selling point are the early incarnations of Specialty Classics like "Directly From My Heart You" (released and alternate). This blues-based number was recalled by Mr. Penniman in late '65 for Modern Records, as well. [Look for the 45rpm version].
With the seemingly weekly release of unissued Elvis Presley, plus a decent number of rarities out there by other Rock and Roll Hall of Famers, this highly under-represented artist has (apparently) only his '50s material in "previously unreleased" form. This CD may cry out for '60s and '70s companions but more than stands alone. Well, Allright!

When White Bands Covered Motown Hits (Blogcritics.org)
Watching Justin Timberlake on the Grammy Awards show last Sunday, I was finally won over; his calculated campaign to remake his career from boy-band heartthrob into credible artist has worked. For Justin, this has involved earning his street creds as a white musician who can channel black styles like hip-hop and R&B. The beauty part is, he didn?t even have to act like a thug, unlike Eminem ...
