Music reviews of Shout Rattle & Roll

Music Review: The most underrated R&B singer ever!
Rating: 5 Stars

Big Joe Turner was one of a kind. Larger-than-life in both size and voice, he commanded an audience throughout his 40-plus year recording career. This Proper box set is as great as it gets. My only complaint is that there's not even more songs! Turner's music combined blues, jump blues, R&B, swing, jazz, and early rock and roll. If only today's singers could sound this great. But unfortunately, as with most great singers and musicians, his work went largely unnoticed, especially to white audiences. Due to the abomination of the then-segregation of radio, very few black performers could not find a white audience. By the time of de-segregation in the early-1960's, he was sadly largely forgotten until his death in November 1985 (not 1987 like the enclosed booklet says). He died poor, even though he never retired from recording or live performing. But people like Miley, Britney, and Madonna are millionaires many times over. The business just isn't fair!

This 4-CD set comprises nearly 100 of his best songs (although in my opinion I can name bad songs of his on one hand and still have fingers left over). The early songs are more jazzy/bluesy, the songs then get progressively more into swing and "jump" blues, and finally into 1950's-style R&B and rock and roll, like his biggest hit "Shake, Rattle and Roll" which was covered by both Bill Haley and Elvis Presley (I find Turner's version superior to the others, of course). Some of the songs DO get a tad bit repetitive, for instance Roll 'Em Pete, It's Allright Baby and Rebecca are pretty much different versions of the same song, with different titles. Same for Born to Gamble and Life Is Like a Card Game. By the way, some of the lyrics to these songs are really quite funny: in "Lucille" he sings "You're the sweetest gal I know/she made me walk from Chicago to the Gulf of Mexico"...that's a sweet gal?! In "Life is Like a Card Game" and "Born to gamble" he sings "I know my luck is gonna change/if I try hard enough!" (Which doesn't make any sense, you can't change luck, you either have it or you don't!) Also, I swear that both versions of Lucille included here sound identical, despite the enclosed booklet claiming that it's two different versions recorded years apart by different musicians. Joe was an improviser, who did not like to memorize a lyric sheet (he couldn't really read anyway, never went to high school---such was the case for poor blacks in the 1920's). A very minor flaw, but to me a very minor one. But, for any of the repetitiveness, and as good as his backing musicians were (especially the also underrated Pete Johnson, whom Jerry Lee Lewis, Little Richard, and others HAD to owe a great deal of debt to), Joe's voice is the real star of the show here. It's huge, deep, and commands your attention. This box set includes a big fat booklet that tells the story of Turner's musical career. The liner notes are excellent. The quality of recordings is exceptional (although the first song, It's Allright Baby, isn't too good, but it is a live recording). Five stars is not enough!
