Tell Me Pretty Baby in Bloomington, MN

Lusty, romping jump blues and boogies from 1947-1949 that team
Big Joe Turner
with his longtime piano partner
Pete Johnson
and a coterie of solid L.A. sessioneers. The two dozen entries include party rockers like
"Wine-O-Baby Boogie,"
"Christmas Date Boogie,"
"I Don't Dig It,"
and an incredibly raunchy two-part
"Around the Clock Blues"
(where
Turner
spends his time in a by-the-hour sexual tryst). ~ Bill Dahl
