Our Take

Big Joe Turner, the man with a voice as big as his appetite. Roll 'Em 1938-1945 is a feast for the ears, serving up a delectable array of jump blues and boogie-woogie tracks that will have you dancing like nobody's watching. From the moment you press play, you are transported to a smoky, dimly lit jazz club where Big Joe's gravelly vocals take center stage. His powerful delivery cuts through the jazzy piano riffs and swinging brass section like a hot knife through butter. Tracks like "Cherry Red" and "Roll 'Em Pete" showcase Turner's dynamic range, with his ability to switch seamlessly from smooth crooner to gritty shouter. The infectious energy that permeates each song is impossible to resist, making it near impossible to sit still while listening. The musicianship on display is top-notch, with nimble piano runs and rollicking saxophone solos that interweave effortlessly with Turner's commanding vocals. The chemistry between the players is palpable, creating a tight-knit sound that is both polished and spontaneous. Roll 'Em 1938-1945 is a spirited romp through the early years of Big Joe Turner's illustrious career, capturing the essence of a bygone era with a modern twist. This album is a must-listen for any fan of blues, jazz, or good old-fashioned rock 'n' roll. So roll 'em, Joe, roll 'em.
