The Very Best of Bill Doggett Honky Tonk

Product Description
Bill Doggett will forever by remembered for what is perhaps the instrumental hit of the 1950s, "Honky Tonk." Doggett probably did more to popularize the organ as an instrument in rock and pop than any other artist. Before striking out on his own in 1951, Doggett worked with the likes of Jimmy Mundy, Lucky Millinder, the Ink Spots, Lionel Hampton and Louis Jordan (he replaced Wild Bill Davis in Tympani Five). The tracks in this collection are the best of the recordings that he made for the King record label between the years 1954 and 1959 -- and his biggest singles ("Honky Tonk," "Slow Walk," "Ram-Bunk-Shush" and "Hold It").

It doesn't get much better than this!.......2006-03-20

Thank you Steve King and Max Armstrong of WGN 720am radio in Chicago for turning me on to Big Bill Doggett. At roughly 4:53am in the morning Max comes on to do the farm report, and if the karma is right, Steve will play "Honky Tonk" (part 1).
With the first notes of the guitar, Max will start drolling, and reminiscing about his youth back in Indiana when the carnivals or fairs would come to his town. Back then every carnival would have that special tent where inside ladies would disrobe, what we would call a "tease show" today. "Honky Tonk" would be one of those songs playing in the background. Doggett's music is what I would call "grunt & grind", perfect mood music (no singing) all instrumentials. If this CD doesn't take you back to the early, early 1950's, nothing will. Thanks again Steve & Max.
