Blues that swings right out the gate..........2005-12-05

This is the best music on the planet, ever!

Uncle Connie Curtis "Pee Wee" Crayton.......2005-12-05

Although Uncle "Pee Wee" was certainly unremitting influenced by his close friend and pioneering mastre conception of the electric blues guitar, "T-Bone" Walker (what axe-handler wasn't during the immediate postwar era?); yet, Pee Wee Crayton brought enough "heat" and daring innovation to his playing to avoid being labeled as a mere "T-Bone" Walker copy-cat. Crayton's recorded output for Modern, Imperial, and Vee-Jay contains plenty of dazzling, marvelously imaginative guitar work and distinct vocals, especially on stunning instrumentals such as "Texas Hop," "Pee Wee's Boogie," and "Poppa Stoppa," all far more aggressive performances than Walker usually took part in...clearly no mis-understanding here with respect to "Bone," I have nothing but pure admiration for "T-Bone..."

As a young teen, I was extremely fortunate to see both trailblazing "Axe-Men" (even though they were up in their later years) and experience the greatness of their "vibes," up close and personal... I would soak-up like a sponge and weld to memory those rare meetings; when Uncle "Pee Wee" & "T-Bone" would get together on some occasions at "Pee Wee's" house in West Los Angeles, California-- "jamm"/rehearse all day on Saturdays or Sunday afternoons up until the late evenings (including some rare appearances from "Pee Wee's" nephew Marshal on Saxophone). And, I can't forget auntie Esther ("Pee Wee's" wife) in the kitchen making those killer cherry pies...exhilarating to say the least!

*Note, his tune here "Blues after Hours" shows up on this Soundtrack CD; as well as, in the film (unaccredited by most noteworthy press media). And, no his music is not public domain yet...

--"Big Dave" Burleigh, 'AmeriCanadian' Record Producre.

Double Your Listening Pleasure.......2002-11-16

The soundtrack for the Film "Devil in a Blue Dress" has two great musical styles to enjoy. The film(see my DVD review entitled Easy Does It for details) is a modern film noir that takes places in the post WWII era in Los Angeles.

The music is a mix of the old rhythm and blues styles, also called "Shout and Jump" and the film score. The songs included are pre cursors to rock and roll. You'll enjoy listening to such greats as T-Bone Walker,doing "West Side Baby". Duke Elllington's "Hy-Ah-Su", and Thelonious Monk's rendition of "Round Midnight". The film score by the legendary Elmer Berstein(Magnificent Seven/The Great Escape) is a smooth styling of definitive music for the Film Noir genre.There are 14 tracks in all, for a complete list see the buying info.

This album is a pleasure to listen to. I enjoy hearing it while I'm driving in rush hour. It takes me to another place!
