This version (billed as with ‘Roscoe’ Gordon was recorded, in Memphis, sometime in AUG 1951. Ike Turner recorded the session for RPM Records (RPM 344, b/w COLD COLD WINTER - issued in 1952?).
Rosco Gordon p, voc/ probably Willie Wilkes ts (1:17)/ John Murry Daley, d
Rosco Gordon hated BOOTED - even booted it from all his appearances.
The AUG '51 CHESS Records version (seconds shorter) is noticeably different from this one, tho the musicians are almost the same ones. :I:
Finally someone downloaded the original! emories of my uncles and being a young teen in the late 60's hearing their music as they drank in the backyard BBQ's. I wish i had all those old 78 RPM's adain.. Lookin for an old 78rpm honker from early 50's called "Playboy Hop" by The Rockin Brothers on a label named "Elko" Super awesome sxaphone instrumental with a mean baritone,,tenor,and Alto sax riff
Although Rosco Gordon is often said as a typical figure of the Memphis Rhythm and Blues(don't mistake with the more Delta Blues sounding Beale Street Rhythm and Blues) most of his records sound like the New Orleans Rhythm and Blues by Prof. Longhair and some like "Bop It !" are even one. Nevertheless he's one of the bests of the Memphis Music scene!!
@WholeLotofRocknRoll Yep, his arrangements can really fool one in believing he's a New Orleans artist. I actually thought he may have had a couple of sessions over at Cosimo's but after doing a Google search; apparently he didn't. What really irks me is when he is referred to a "one hit wonder".
@9thWardBluezBox i'm glad that you think so too. in the history of rock'n'roll(especially the black one:rhythm and blues) it's often hard to seperate the dozens of different styles. an example for typicall memphis r&b is"rocket 88" or "shake it up and go" by ike turner and for beale street r&b"mystery train"by junior parker. A popular record from New Orleans is"3x7=21"by jewel king but you can hear that its not new orleans r&b more jump r&b. you always have to seperate the scene from the style.
@WholeLotofRocknRoll Go you one better. Zydeco is thought of as South La. music but without S.E. Texas, not sure it would even exist. Then there's the old school Tex-Mex. Listen to some of the early recordings by Freddy Fender, Doug Sahm and others. Perhaps Tex-Mex-La would have been more appropriate. But, rather than direct it, I just sit back and enjoy it and meet some cool people along the way....present company included.
@9thWardBluezBox Yes you're completely right and thats what i'm thinking the whole time. i dont know who invented those music style names ( probably the musicians themselves) but i think they fixate too much on the regions than listening to the music itself. and thats what confuses people in the future.because they will stick to it like it has been said. take r&b and r&r for ex..it's the same thing but has 2 diff. names. and today they think bill haley or elvis have invented it. totally CRAZY !!
I'mglad you uploaded the original. This is the one I heard as a kid in my neighborhood
