The Mistreater

 

CD

 

One of the contenders for the very first Rock'n'Roll record, the hallowed 'Rocket 88'! Recorded at Sun Studios in March 1951 by Ike Turner's Kings Of Rhythm, with vocal by sax player Jackie Brenston, the complexities of Sam Phillips' Sun Records deal with the Chess brothers required it to be credited to Jackie Brenston and The Delta Cats! Ike was so miffed when the record hit no.1 that he would not let Jackie sing it on stage! However, Jackie was featured on many more records, on a variety of labels; raucous rockin' dancin' jump blues to die for. Here are the best of them, every one a classic jump blues dance party for sure! A rich and wonderful first time CD collection of Jackie Brenston's best!".
