Kansas City in Bloomington, MN

Finally, pay dirt!
Wilbert Harrison
smashed the charts in 1959 with his massive hit
"Kansas City"
for
Bobby Robinson
's
Fury
logo. Here we have 22 fine sides from the
hookup, some in stereo and many with
Wild Jimmy Spruill
on lead guitar.
"Cheatin' Baby,"
"C.C. Rider,"
"1960,"
and the inevitable sequel
"Goodbye Kansas City"
are prime examples of
Harrison
's slightly off-kilter approach to his craft, while his infectious
"Let's Stick Together"
developed into the more worldly
"Let's Work Together"
toward the end of the decade. ~ Bill Dahl
