Free Music Review: No Dylan
Hit: 2 Stars
Nice collection of tracks, but has none of Bob Dylan's commentary and patter from the radio show. That makes this disk a huge disappointment to me.
A Stompin' Good Time Poster
He was neither a singer nor a musician, but Alan Freed knew just what it took to make the Big Beat of the rock 'n' roll era come alive. The Big Band that he lent his name to in the mid 50s was one of the hardest-rocking outfits of its era, boasting the cream of New York's R&B session musicians in its line-up and featuring such stellar tenor saxophonists as Sam 'The Man' Taylor, 'Big' Al Sears, Freddie Mitchell and 'King Curtis' Ousley taking some of the fieriest solos ever committed to tape.Freed's band could be heard on four albums that were issued on US Coral and Brunswick between 1956 and 1958 - one recorded under the name of The King's Henchmen. The first of them has been reissued several times but, incredibly, the contents of the other three have remained unavailable for almost half a century.
Ace's A Stompin' Good Time features the King's Henchmen albums in their entirety, along with the Alan Freed Big Band tracks from the two various artists albums that originally featured material from Jackie Wilson, Buddy Holly, Terry Noland and Billy Williams among others. You won't find Jackie, Buddy, Billy and Terry here, but what you will find is an hour's worth of uproarious instrumentalism that rocks like crazy and that will be manna from heaven for all lovers of 1950s big bland blastin'.
