    Junior Watosn picked up his version from Earl Hooker's recording of that tune - recorde in 1952 if my memory doesn't fail me.

    I think this fits in----can't listen to blues for too long without wanting to hear some harp!

    Red Prysock's "Hand Clappin'"----just the thing for a Saturday night. (Well, there's Louis Jordan's "Saturday Night Fish Fry" but I think we've already covered that one.)

    Some Charlie Christian in a boogie-boogie vein. Great two-chorus solo.

    To me Jimmy Liggins' Cadillac Boogie is one of the best. Bullmoose Jackson's stuff is pretty over the top with innuendo but he's got some cool arrangements like Bowlegged Woman. Wynonie Harris is pretty great too.

    Listening to "Cadillac Boogie" I thought of two other songs: Vince Taylor's "Brand New Cadillac" (-which the Clash famously covered) and Commander Cody's version of "Hot Rod Lincoln."

    commander cody gets dismissed as a goofy bunch of longhairs..but they were great players..and tapping into a genre long before it was hip.. and great vintage song selections..their originals were darned good too


    joe moretti also played on johnny kidd & pirates-shakin all over and restless…also tom jones-it's not unusual…there's a even a great clip of (a very young ) him playin with gene vincent..he was (one of?) the best early uk guys

    great moretti overview for thems that care..(one of my fave's)

    Joe Moretti: Session guitarist whose work graced a string of hits - Obituaries - News - The Independent

    cheers

    Great genre and tradition. Can't beat early BB King and Gatemouth Brown as some of the more popular acts of the era. I lived near Westerly, Rhode Island and was exposed to frequent heavy doses of jump blues by Roomful of Blues w/Duke Robillard. These guys were/are dedicated to preserving the tradition, and as mentioned, Duke is one of the living contemporary masters of the style. I did a private gig this summer, one of the other acts was Chris Vachon, the current Roomful guitarist for the past 25 years.

    A 1980 track with the great Ronnie Earl on guitar.

    Another fun Duke Robillard tune, "Too Hot To Handle." (Not to be confused with the song Otis Redding sang...)



    Duke teaches this one at "Sonic Junction" but if you've been playing awhile, you probably don't need any help with it. Still fun.

    The Beat show was incredible and the 6 or so DVD sets are well worth seeking out for old school R&B and Blues. I know some folks that worked at WFAA in Dallas at the time. If I recall, the show originated in Nashville. Hoss Allen, the host was a Nashville DJ and an important figure in promoting early R&B and Gospel. They recorded the show in Dallas because the Nashville facilities could only shoot in B&W.

    Here's Louis Jordan from the same series:



    And while not strictly Jump, the Freddie King appearances on the same shows kill me every time. Makes me want to get a 345/355:

    wow, great show indeed! Two of my favorites, and the house band is killing it too! Sombody somewhere said its Gatemouth Brown on the solidbody in the band? Freddies tone is to die for, where do they teach to play guitar like that? Its seems more fitting to say he's "attacking" it, rather than "playing"!

    I think I was born in the wrong time, too late. The music, even how they dress, it's just speaks to me. There's very little today that I enjoy like that.

    I dig the way Duke arranged the horn section for guitar on this recording. Haven't found out how to do it yet:
