Turner, Ike
Real Gone Rocket
Session Man Extraordinaire - Selected singles 1951-59. Besides being an excellent boogie pianist and guitarist supremo, Ike Turner shone as a top-notch composer, producer and talent scout. It's a fact that Ike was at the same professional level as some of the biggest names of the day, whom he worked with on a number of occasions. This new 45s compilation shines light on this little-known aspect of his artistic career as the genius-behind-the-curtains in several recordings by other artists. Liner notes and discography/sessionography by Fred Rothwell.
