Louis Jordan - Rock 'N' Roll

After a brief and commercially unsuccessful stint at ALADDIN records, Louis Jordan moved on to MERCURY, where the full resources of that label were poured into generating some hits for him. Rerecordings of Jordan's 1940's DECCA sides, supervised by Quincy Jones, were made in late 1956. The product of these sessions was indeed rock & roll (thus this album's title). But as had happened at ALADDIN, X and VIK just two years earlier, lightning didn't strike twice for Louis-- sales of his newly polished oldies were less than what was hoped for. One last attempt to rekindle his career was made in August of '57, this time with a scaled-back band, but once again the records met with widespread indifference. Louis Jordan had officially become a casualty of the very music form he'd helped to create: ROCK & ROLL. The 21 tracks on this CD are an excellent sampling of Louis Jordan's late 1950's sound. Transfer quality of source material is superb. Included are session dates and personnel, as well as a two-page bio. An album of excellence that will please any Jordan fan, as well as those who enjoy early rock & roll. (Amazon) 01. Ain't Nobody Here But Us Chickens 02. Choo Choo Ch'boogie 03. Knock Me A Kiss 04.
