• Louis Jordan and His Tympanny Five “Saturday Night Fish Fry” Saturday Night Fish Fry (Decca) 1949
• Roy Brown “Good Rocking Tonight” Good Rocking Tonight (De Luxe) 1947

Notes:

Patrick’s Book Nook returns, this time with a piece by Preston Lauterbach, The Chitlin Circuit and the Road to Rock and Roll.

This engrossing book brings to life the southern circuit of nightclubs, theatres, juke joints and back rooms that sustained black musicians and dancers during the 1930s through the late 1950s.

For your viewing pleasure…
