4.0 out of 5 stars
Great Jump Blues, May 25, 2001
This review is from: Night Time Is the Right Time (Audio CD)
This poor boy from the South belted out some of the best soulful jump blues in the fifties on the famous jazz label Savoy. Known for his moderate hit "Piddily Patter Patter" made famous again in John Water's film 'Cry Baby,' this long overdue 2-CD compilation highlights some of his raucous rhythm & blues and soulful ballads. The birth of soul has a prelude to the often recognized Ray Charles... Nappy Brown is the man! Standout numbers to jive with your honey are "Skiddy Woe" and "I'm Gonna Get You." Do not overlook this real gone cat because he's up there with Wynonnie Harris and Roy Brown.
