<"b0000002vu5228"> From Grove Press Guide to Blues on CD
James Booker, a lifelong New Orleans resident, was someone special. His R&B piano playing was on a par with Professor Longhair's: more dazzling than liquid mercury, rock-ribbed, painterly, drenched in gospel and classical. His singing? Fibrillating melismas and glides hinting of Ray Charles, but all his own. Recording in late 1982, Booker is joined on five of the dozen tracks by bassist James Singleton and drummer John Vidacovich, with local legend Red Tyler lending tenor saxophone to four. -- © Frank John Hadley 1993
