Joe Turner • Pee Wee Crayton And Sonny Stitt ‎– Everyday I Have The Blues

Review by Scott Yanow

This CD reissues one of Big Joe Turner's better Pablo releases. In 1975 Turner's voice was still strong and he had a compatible four-piece group that featured veteran guitarist Pee Wee Crayton. With guest Sonny Stitt contributing typically boppish solos on tenor and alto, Turner sings mostly familiar material (including "Stormy Monday," "Piney Brown" and "Shake, Rattle and Roll") plus his recent "Martin Luther King Southside." Recommended.

Revisión por Scott Yanow

Este CD reedita uno de los mejores lanzamientos de Pablo de Big Joe Turner. En 1975, la voz de Turner aún era fuerte y tenía un grupo de cuatro piezas compatible que incluía al veterano guitarrista Pee Wee Crayton. Con el invitado Sonny Stitt contribuyendo solos típicamente boppish en tenor y alto, Turner canta sobre todo material familiar (incluyendo "Stormy Monday", "Piney Brown" y "Shake, Rattle and Roll") además de su reciente "Martin Luther King Southside". Recomendado.
