Ike Turner was a multi-talented figure, including guitarist, pianist, bandleader, producer, and talent scout. This rare LP reissue (recorded between 1952 and 1954) originally released by Modern label Crown in 1963 allows you to fully appreciate his extraordinary talents.
This massive blues/R&B album includes Dennis Binder's singles and previously unreleased songs!
In addition to the three zundoko rumba blues instrumentals popular among DJs, "Cubano Jump," "Loosely," and "Cuban Get Away," which are the origins of the perverse, frantic guitar instrumentals that followed his extensive use of the tremolo arm, the album also includes a superb rocking blues track featuring lead vocals by Dennis Binder, who was a featured singer in the Kings of Rhythm, the strongest blues/R&B troupe of the 1950s led by Ike Ike, who was active nationwide, mainly in the American South.
