5.0 out of 5 stars
40's Cleanhead, July 17, 2005
This review is from: Kidney Stew (Audio CD)
Great compilation of 40's big band and small combo tracks. These are the songs he sang all of his career. Coming out of the Cootie Williams big band in the mid 40's, Cleanhead's alto sax and unique vocals survived the end of the big band era and the end of the rhythm & blues years.He later albums featured his alto sax as much as his vocals. He could have had a career as an sax player.But outside of some sides with Williams, this is the best place to start your collection on Cleanheads works.
