4.0 out of 5 stars Great blues feeling, smothered in boogie woogie, June 30, 2009

This review is from: Pete Johnson 1944-1946 (Audio CD)

Some artists just aren't all that well-served by the CD era. For instance, I can imagine picking up a 78 with a couple of these boogie woogie tunes back in the day and being quite thrilled by them. In small doses, they're a kick in the pants. But heard en masse, that proto-rock n roll boogie woogie shtick can get mighty old mighty quick. That said, when Johnson ditches it for his real talent as a blues pianist of real nuance and feeling, it's pretty close to sublime. The small-group sides are the best, or skip directly to any of the tracks with the word "blues" in the title.....
