Dan Gould Posted January 27, 2005 Report Posted January 27, 2005 Seeing Houston Person live a couple of weeks ago has only confirmed how much I enjoy his playing. So, I did an ebay search and discovered that he appears in the late 80s release, "Leon Thomas Blues Band" and I am wondering if anyone has heard this. AMG calls it a straight up blues album, so I am sure Houston sounds great, but I hesitate because of who the leader is. AMG says that there's no yodelling heard and that its Leon's take on the Big Joe Turner school of blues belting, but can anyone confirm? Thanks! Quote
JSngry Posted January 27, 2005 Report Posted January 27, 2005 Haven't heard it, but I've got a video of Leon doing "Shake, Rattle, & Roll" w/Basie from ca. 1965, and he does just fine w/it. No yodelling or anything. So I know that he's got those abilities. Quote
jazzbo Posted January 27, 2005 Report Posted January 27, 2005 Hey I've seen that video too! Yes, if AMG says there's no yodelling it's GODSTROOTH right? I would expect it's pretty good! Quote
Dan Gould Posted January 27, 2005 Author Report Posted January 27, 2005 Yeah, probably ... but I trust folks here a bit more than I trust AMG! Think I'll be bidding on that 1 cent CD, see if I can nab it extra cheap. Quote
Dan Gould Posted February 2, 2005 Author Report Posted February 2, 2005 Actually the bidding started at .99 but as I suspected there was no competition so including shipping, I'm only out $2.99. I'll let you all know, but I'm hoping it will be easily the best $3 CD I ever picked up. Quote
