Our Take

Ah, the sweet sounds of 1952 R&B hits - a time when jukeboxes were as common as penny farthings and the electric guitar was just a baby in the music world. Our Various Artists 1952 R&B Hits Collection is a delightful trip down memory lane, filled with toe-tapping tunes and soulful harmonies that will transport you straight to the heyday of rhythm and blues.

From the smooth crooning of Nat "King" Cole on "Unforgettable" to the playful energy of The Clovers on "One Mint Julep", this album is a veritable treasure trove of musical gems. Each track is like a time capsule, capturing the essence of a bygone era and serving it up with a modern twist.

But it's not all nostalgia and retro vibes - there's plenty of fresh talent on display here too. Artists like Ruth Brown, Ray Charles, and Big Mama Thornton bring a contemporary edge to these classic tunes, proving that good music never goes out of style.

So grab a glass of bourbon, slip into your favourite pair of dancing shoes, and let the groove of the 1952 R&B Hits Collection take you on a musical journey through time. It's a wild ride, but oh so worth it.
