Our Take

Jesse Stone, AKA Charles Calhoun, the Architect of Rhythm & Blues, has finally been given the recognition he deserves with this comprehensive compilation spanning from 1927 to 1961. His influence on the genre is undeniable, with his catchy melodies and infectious rhythms shaping the sound of R&B for decades to come. From classic hits like "Shake, Rattle and Roll" to lesser-known gems like "Oop Shoop", Stone's songwriting prowess shines through on every track. The production on this album is top-notch, with each song sounding crisp and clear, allowing Stone's soulful vocals to take center stage. The instrumentation is spot on, with horns blaring, pianos tinkling, and guitars wailing in all the right places. One standout track is "Money Honey", a rollicking number that will have you tapping your feet and shaking your hips in no time. It's clear that Stone had a knack for crafting timeless tunes that have stood the test of time. Overall, Jesse Stone (Charles Calhoun) Architect of Rhythm & Blues 1927-1961 is a must-have for any R&B enthusiast. So grab your dancing shoes, turn up the volume, and get ready to groove to the sounds of one of the greatest songwriters of all time. Trust us, you won't be disappointed.
