Johnny Otis Joins Jumpin' Band
In Sky Or Hell

A very important figure in the world of race music. He hung on till 90. That'll show the bastards!

To return to the important subject, we are in possession of the 0s & 1s that comprise Rhythm & Blues Caravan: The Complete Savoy Recordings (And only Discs One & Three; the Santa Monica Library's copy of Disc Two wouldn't rip.) & that is some seriously down stuff. Funky's too easy & trivializing a description; it has the beat, the flats & the sharps, all in the right places. Torrent a copy today, while you still can.
