Our Take

Big Jay McNeely, the man with the tenor saxophone that can make your eardrums shiver with delight, is back with a bang in "Blow. Big. Blow - The Singles Collection 1949-62". This collection of hits from throughout his career will have you dancing like a crazed possessed by the spirit of rock 'n' roll.

From the moment the first notes of "Deacon's Hop" hit your speakers, you know you're in for a wild ride. McNeely's honking saxophone combined with his band's pounding rhythms create a whirlwind of sound that will leave you breathless.

Tracks like "Wild Wig" and "Goofin' Off" showcase McNeely's cheeky side, with playful horn accents and infectious beats that will have you tapping your feet and shaking your hips in no time.

But it's not all fun and games with Big Jay. Songs like "The Deacon Rides Again" and "Nervous Man Nervous" reveal a darker, more introspective side to the saxophonist, with haunting melodies and soulful solos that will tug at your heartstrings.

Overall, "Blow. Big. Blow" is a testament to Big Jay McNeely's enduring talent and influence on the world of music. With its mix of fun, quirky tunes and soul-stirring ballads, this collection is a must-have for any fan of rock 'n' roll. So grab your dancing shoes and get ready to blow, baby, blow!
