Blue Lu Barker - The Chronological Classics: 1946-1949 '2000

Tracks list

Singer Blue Lu Barkers second Classics release has all of her recordings from
1946-1949 and, combined with the earlier release (1938-1939), all of her
sessions as a leader are now available. Barker was a pleasant if limited singer
and one might want to hear these 25 selections in small doses. Blu Lu is joined
by combos (usually five to seven pieces) led by her husband guitarist Danny
Barker, who also contributed the majority of the tunes. The backup groups
include such notables as trumpeter Shad Collins, tenors Teddy McRae and Jerry
Jerome, and pianist Gerald Wiggins. The music, released originally by Apollo and
Capitol (except for three cuts originally rejected), include a remake of Dont
You Feel My Leg and such tunes as You Gotta Show It to Me Baby, I Feel Like
Laying in Another Womans Husbands Arms, Now Youre Down in the Alley, Loan Me
Your Husband, and Bow-Legged Daddy.
