Our Take

Ah, the sweet sounds of Boogie Woogie, a genre that oozes with infectious energy and swing. The Essential Collection brings together some of the finest tracks from the golden era of this toe-tapping music, guaranteed to get your hips swaying and your feet tapping.

The album kicks off with the classic "Boogie Woogie Bugle Boy" by The Andrews Sisters, a bouncy number that sets the tone for what's to come. As we delve deeper into the tracklist, we are treated to the smooth piano stylings of Meade Lux Lewis and the powerhouse vocals of Big Joe Turner.

Each track on this compilation is like a time machine, transporting you back to the bustling dance halls and smoky jazz clubs of the 1940s. The brassy horns and rollicking rhythms of tracks like "Honky Tonk Train Blues" by Meade Lux Lewis and "Roll 'Em Pete" by Count Basie will have you jiving in no time.

But it's not all just high-energy numbers on The Essential Collection. The album also showcases the soulful vocals of artists like Hadda Brooks and Amos Milburn, adding a touch of depth and emotion to the mix.

Overall, The Essential Collection is a must-have for any Boogie Woogie fan, offering a nostalgic trip down memory lane with its superb selection of tracks. So grab your dancing shoes and get ready to boogie woogie the night away with this fantastic compilation. A true delight for the ears and the soul.
