I just love listening to this kind of music while I'm working on much serious stuff at the 'puter.

Been a fan of Big Joe Turner for a long long time. He was the real thing!!!!

A friend of mine gave me a copy in a casette the album "The midnight Special" (L:A 1976) and Joe sing this song and anothers like " I left my hart...", "I´m gonna sit...." etc. It was the first time that I heard Joe (1995), now, I´m fan of him. Greetings from Argentina Sorry for my English

What a great record, simply loved listening to that... :-)

[kennyrocksable]

A record like this is as scarce as hen's teeth (and that's pretty scarce)! Most unusual record big joe ever made, even got it on CD. But have u heard the song joe turner blues?

[manhatin]

I found this record on the floor of a thrift store years ago. I think I paid a quarter for it. Like finding buried treasure.

That's a great story. Bow-Wow-Wow.

I actually discovered this song through a video of a man playing guitar while his dog "played" the accordion. They were such a joyous pair I decided to seek out the real thing - and was it ever worth it. This is a gem. Thanks for posting.

dianasatyr, Big Joe Turner comes from an era where singers literally fought their way to success. Because of this, many of them had a genuine joy in their voices when they were able to perform.

[dianasatyr]

What a voice! I know nothing about music and I wish I did, so I could maybe figure out why his voice seems to have a joyous feel to it!

Thanks for this.
