Our Take

Well, well, well, what do we have here? It's BIG JOE TURNER's "The Essential 40s Collection". Strap in, folks, because this album is a wild ride through the musical rollercoaster that is the 1940s.

From the first track to the last, Turner's booming voice commands your attention and refuses to let go. It's like being hit by a freight train of soulful blues and rock 'n' roll, and you can't help but surrender to the rhythm.

Tracks like "Shake, Rattle and Roll" and "Cherry Red" showcase Turner's unparalleled vocal range and his ability to transport you to a smoky jazz club in the heart of Harlem. You can almost feel the sticky floors and taste the bourbon on your lips.

But it's not all smooth sailing on this musical journey. There are moments where Turner's raw emotion cuts through the swagger and reveals a vulnerability that is both heartbreaking and inspiring.

Overall, "The Essential 40s Collection" is a must-listen for any music lover looking to delve into the roots of rock 'n' roll. It's a testament to Turner's enduring talent and his lasting impact on the music industry. So grab a drink, find a comfy seat, and let BIG JOE TURNER take you on a wild ride through the 1940s. You won't regret it.
