BIG JOE TURNER GREATEST HITS

HOT,HOT, HOT, Rythym & Blues with a Be-Bop Sound. Current enough for todays sounds of Classic Oldies. Ready for Boogie Woogie and a little Swing. Hot, Hot, Hot !!

In The Evening (When The Sun Goes Down)

That's when we start to wail baby! Big Joe is currently clocking in at number 2 just behind Wynonie Harris on my list of the best "old school" R&B shouters. I like it!!
