Jackie Brenston & His Delta Cats - Blues Got Me Again: Singles 1951-1962

JACKIE?BRENSTON's Name?Is Of Course Ubiquitous In All Discussions And/Or Essays Concerning "What Was The Very First Rock & Roll Record?" Due To His Bootin' 'Rocket 88', A #1 R&B Record In 1951 Which Was Famously Covered By Bill Haley & His Saddlemen. Brenston Was A Singer/Saxophonist In Ike Turner's Band, And His Sole Hit Was Essentially A Head Arrangement Based Heavily On Jimmy Liggins' 'Cadillac Boogie', Which Came Together In Sam Phillips' Recording Studio, In Memphis. Although The Disc Was Credited To "Jackie Brenston & His Delta Cats", They Were Actually Ike Turner & His Kings Of Rhythm. However, Although Follow-Ups Like 'My Real Gone Rocket' And 'Independent Woman' Are Highly-Regarded By Collectors, He Was Unable To Register Another Hit. This Compilation Comprises Everything That Brenston Recorded As A Lead Vocalist Between 1951-62, Either Solo, With Ike Turner, Or With Chicago Guitarist Earl Hooker; This Is The First Time That These Twenty-Seven Tracks Have Been Thus Compiled.
