Our Take
Big Jay McNeely, the king of honkers, has swooped in with a collection of selected singles from 1948-1952 that will have you jumping and jiving in no time. This album is a masterclass in honking saxophone solos, toe-tapping rhythms, and infectious energy that will transport you straight to the smoky clubs of yesteryear. McNeely's larger-than-life personality shines through on every track, from the raucous "Wild Wig" to the smooth grooves of "Deacon Rides Again". His honking saxophone will have you on your feet and shaking what your mama gave you in no time. It's impossible to sit still while listening to this album - trust me, I've tried. The production on these tracks is top-notch, with every instrument sounding crisp and clean. The energy and passion that McNeely brings to each performance is palpable, and it's clear that he was truly in his element during this time period. From the wailing saxophone to the pounding drums, every element of these songs comes together to create a truly electrifying listening experience. Overall, "King Of The Honkers - Selected Singles 1948-1952" is a must-listen for any fan of classic rhythm and blues. Big Jay McNeely's infectious energy and unmatched talent shine through on every track, making this album a true gem of the era. So grab your dancing shoes and prepare to be swept away by the king of honkers himself. You won't be disappointed.
