Lawdy! (+ Bonus Tracks)

From Grove Press Guide to Blues on CD
Twenty-five tracks recorded by Price, a New Orleans R&B singer/songwriter and rock 'n' roll pioneer, between 1952 and 1956 for Specialty make up this irregular compilation. The best songs are the chart hit "Lawdy Miss Clawdy" and six more that sport a productive little big band led by trumpeter Dave Bartholomew. (Fats Domino plays piano on four of these.) Many of the other selections are displeasing due to Price's uncertain singing and/or sloppy musicianship. -- © Frank John Hadley 1993

A perfect example of classic New Orleans r'n'b,.......2007-06-12

You can't go wrong with "The Legends of Specialty" series, and this is no exception. Lloyd Price was a great talent and songwriter in the early '50's. I feel that he was somewhat overlooked even at the time.
This is an excellent collection of songs and I recommend it along with Lloyd Price's companion CD, "Heavy Dreams, Vol.2", also in the Specialty series.
I'm not sure, but I have heard that it was Fats Domino on piano in these sessions.

An essential alblum for any 50's R&B fan........2003-06-13

I have yet to find ANY artist that recorded on the Specialty label that I don't like. Lloyd Price of course, is no exception. This one is worth picking up if you're wanting to get a taste of that 50's R&B sound. Full of false starts and breakdown chatter adds to the *real* feeling of this alblum. This is Rockin' blues at its best! Buy it! I also recommend the 2nd volume as a follow up to this alblum. You really can't go wrong with any of the Legends of Specialty series.
