Junkers, Jivers & Coke Fiends: Vintage Songs About Drugs 1926-1952

CD-Charts > Music > Jive Jazz
by: Various Artists

Release Date March 21, 2005
Low down dirty R&B, Blues and Jazz songs about illegal substances. This comp shows musicians way before the sixties were singing about their favorite candy. "Save the Roach for me" is a great song sang to comical effect with a rollicking piano, then you got Louis Jordan with "Junco Partner" a song with a calypso flavor, and the great Cab Calloway doing the drug dealer songer called "Man from Harlem. This comp is a must for people who collect strange old music.

Better yet buy all his product and see him live as he is really the hardest working man in show business. Look up Jim Green and the Deligates as they are in this class also...

Release Date September 07, 2000
The Four Vagabonds were 1940s radio stars who strongly influenced emerging doo-wop and r-and-b stylings. In my opinion, no other vocal group surpasses their ability to stay on pitch and talent for perfect ensemble work. The Vagabond's recorded work spans only the decade beginning in 1941. Unfortunately, much of their material -- in the studio primarily for Apollo Records and in transcriptions for Standard -- consists of trite pop tunes. This third and final release of their complete recordings covers the remaining 1943 Standard transcriptions. The Vagabonds take an accompanying role in 16 tracks here. On those sides, the lead singer is "Janette" -- the notes don't provide a last name. Although the CD notes refer to Janette not being "up to the task", ... Read More:
